AS/NZS 60335.2.5:2002 PDF Download

A specific focus of AS/NZS 60335.2.5:2002 is the safety standards for electric dishwashers used in residential settings. These dishwashers have a maximum rated voltage of 480 V for other appliances and 250 V for single-phase appliances. They are made to wash and rinse dishes, cutlery, and other utensils.

The goal of the standard is to address the frequent risks connected to using these appliances inside and outside of houses. But it ignores particular situations like unattended use by small children or elderly people or playtime activities involving the appliance by young children. The use of appliances in automobiles, ships, or aircraft, as well as in line with certain national standards established by health authorities, labor protection authorities, water supply authorities, and other similar organizations, may necessitate additional criteria.

Commercial electric dishwashing machines, appliances made for industrial usage, and appliances used in areas with unique characteristics such as the presence of corrosive or explosive atmospheres (dust, vapor, or gas) are all specifically excluded by AS/NZS 60335.2.5:2002.
