Safety of Household and Similar Electrical Appliances - Part 2: Particular Requirements for Spin Extractors
Also Known As:
Focused on guaranteeing the security of electric spin extractors used for domestic and similar purposes, the CAN/CSA-E335-2-4-94 (R2005) standard Included in this are spin extractors with a dry cloth capacity of up to 10 kg and drum peripheral speeds under 50 m/s. Both single-phase appliances with a rated voltage of up to 250 V and other appliances with a rated voltage of up to 480 V must adhere to the standard.
No matter their capacity, spin extractors built inside washing machines are included in the standard's scope. It also includes spin extractors used in shared spaces like apartment buildings or laundries. The standard intends to address the typical risks connected with this equipment that people encounter inside and outside of the house.
The standard, however, does not particularly take into account the unsupervised use of appliances by young children or people with limited mobility, nor does it take into account situations in which young children may play with the appliance. It is significant to note that, as determined by national health authorities and comparable bodies, extra restrictions might be necessary for appliances designed for use in cars, ships, aircraft, or tropical regions.
The standard also does not apply to appliances used in commercial laundries or in locations with unique characteristics, like those with an explosive or corrosive atmosphere. For the sake of guaranteeing safety, certain particular situations might call for different norms or rules.
