Safety of Household and Similar Electrical Appliances - Part 2: Particular Requirements for Electric Irons
Also Known As:
Focusing on the safety criteria for electric dry irons and steam irons used in homes and other settings, this standard, CAN/CSA-E335-2-3-94 (R2004), specifies these devices. The standard is applicable to irons with a rated voltage of up to 250 volts, as well as those that have a boiler or separate water tank with a maximum capacity of 5 liters.
The standard's scope also covers equipment that could endanger the public, like those employed by laypeople in retail establishments, small-scale manufacturing, and agricultural settings. The objective is to address the typical risks connected with these items that are experienced by everyone in and around their houses.
It's crucial to remember that the standard does not particularly cover situations where young children may play with the device or the usage of this equipment by elderly or infirm people without adult supervision.
The standard includes some further notes to take into account. For instance, it emphasizes the possibility of additional requirements for appliances used in automobiles, ships, or aircraft, as well as for those used in tropical regions. It also mentions the possibility of further standards being specified by national health authorities, labor protection authorities, and similar entities. Additionally, if the appliance has a pressure vessel, national authorities in charge of pressure vessel safety may have extra requirements.
It is important to note that this standard does not apply to flat-bed and rotary ironers, industrial-only appliances, or appliances meant for use in environments with unique requirements, such as those with corrosive or explosive atmospheres.
