Focused on the safety criteria for electric sewing machines used in homes and other similar settings, the BS EN 60335-2-28:2003+A11:2018 standard. It covers sewing machines with a maximum rated voltage of 480 V for other appliances and up to 250 V for single-phase appliances. Within the standard's purview are electrical sets and overlocking machines.

This standard's goal is to address the foreseeably dangerous risks connected to these devices and machinery that could have an impact on anyone. However, it does not expressly take into account the dangers of young children using the appliance unattended or while playing with it.

It should be noted that some vulnerable people might need more safety precautions than are specified in the standard. The standard recognizes that additional criteria established by national health authorities and labor protection authorities, as well as equipment used in automobiles, ships, or airplanes, may exist.

It is significant to note that this standard does not apply to appliances used in sites with unique characteristics, such as the presence of an explosive or corrosive atmosphere, or to those specifically designed for industrial uses.
