BS EN IEC 60335-2-82:2022 PDF Download

A standard called BS EN IEC 60335-2-82:2022 focuses on the security requirements for electric personal service and entertainment machines. For single-phase appliances, the rated voltage cannot exceed 250 V, while for other appliances, it cannot exceed 480 V. This standard covers a range of amusement equipment, including tables, bowling alleys, dartboards, video games, and pinball machines, as well as personal service equipment, including card revaluation devices, money dispensers, and shoe shining devices.

The goal of the standard is to address the typical risks connected to the usage and upkeep of these appliances. It does point out that extra standards, as well as those set forth by national authorities for the protection of labor and health, may be necessary for appliances designed for use in automobiles, ships, or airplanes.

It is important to note that certain appliances, such as jukeboxes and home video games, are covered by other standards. Additionally, this standard does not apply to appliances that are solely designed for household or industrial use, appliances intended for use in special environments (such as corrosive or explosive atmospheres), appliances for washing cars, dispensing appliances, and vending machines, appliances covered by other standards, appliances intended for use with a trained attendant or in fairgrounds, or appliances intended for use with vehicles.
