Safety of Household and Similar Electrical Appliances - Part 2: Particular Requirements for Instantaneous Water Heaters
Also Known As:
The safety standards for electrical instantaneous water heaters that are used to heat water below its boiling point are outlined in the CAN/CSA-E335-2-35-94 standard. Both encased and naked heating elements used in instantaneous water heaters must adhere to the standard.
The instantaneous water heaters used in stores, light industries, and farms—as well as those that are not designed for typical domestic usage but nonetheless represent a risk to the public—are included in the standard's scope. The special risks that can exist in settings like nurseries, where there might be small children or elderly and infirm people without supervision, are not taken into account.
Instantaneous water heaters made solely for industrial use, those intended for use in environments with corrosive or explosive atmospheres, electrode-type instantaneous water heaters, and storage water heaters are all excluded from the standard. Instantaneous water heaters used in cars, ships, or airplanes, as well as those used in tropical regions, may need to meet additional standards.
It is crucial to keep in mind that different nations may have their own unique additional standards set forth by national authorities in charge of providing health care, clean water, and labor protections.
