Safety of Household and Similar Electrical Appliances - Part 1: General Requirements
Also Known As:
The CAN/CSA-E335-1/2E-94 standard offers recommendations for the security of electric heaters and other appliances with electric motors or magnetic drives that are used in homes and other settings. These rules guarantee that the apparatus complies with Part I of the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC)'s safety requirements.
The guideline also applies to equipment used in farms, light industries, and shops that could endanger the general public. Hairdressing tools, soldering irons, glue pots, sterilizers, infrared radiation devices, feed boilers, water pumps, and lawn mowers are a few examples of these appliances.
The guideline, however, does not address the special risks that are present in nurseries or other settings where infants, old people, or people with disabilities are present without supervision. In these situations, extra measures could be required to guarantee safety.
Appliances made specifically for industrial use, those used in corrosive or explosive environments, separate motors, high-frequency heating devices (other than microwave ovens), fans, radio and television receiving devices, and medical devices are exempt from the standard.
There may be additional specifications needed for appliances used in automobiles, ships, aircraft, or tropical locations, depending on their individual settings.
It's crucial to keep in mind that national health authorities and labor protection authorities in other nations can have additional criteria for appliance safety.
The standard also takes into account how components that are required to achieve a certain level of radio and television interference suppression may affect the safety of appliances.
