Foreword
The text of document 61/2099/FDIS, future fifth edition of IEC 60335-2-5, prepared by the IEC Technical
Committee 61, was submitted to the IEC-CENELEC parallel vote.
As a result of the Kista meeting of CENELEC TC 61 in May 2002, a draft amendment prAA containing the
relevant existing common modifications was submitted to the formal vote.
The texts of the FDIS and the prAA were approved by CENELEC as a new edition of EN 60335-2-5 on
2003-03-01.
This European Standard replaces EN 60335-2-5:1995 + A1:1999 + A2:2000.

Introduction
p Add:
An investigation by CENELEC TC 61 has shown that all risks from products within the scope of this
standard are fully covered by the Low Voltage Directive, 73/23/EEC. For products having mechanical
moving parts, a risk assessment in accordance with the Machinery Directive, 98/37/EC, has shown that
the risks are mainly of electrical origin and consequently this directive is not applicable. However, the
relevant essential safety requirements of the Machinery Directive are covered by this standard together
with the principal objectives of the Low Voltage Directive.

Part 2-5: Particular requirements for dishwashers
FOREWORD
1) The IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) is a worldwide organization for standardization
comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of the IEC is to
promote international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic
fields. To this end and in addition to other activities, the IEC publishes International Standards. Their
preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt
with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental
organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. The IEC collaborates closely with the
International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement
between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of the IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an
international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation
from all interested National Committees.
3) The documents produced have the form of recommendations for international use and are published in the
form of standards, technical specifications, technical reports or guides and they are accepted by the National
Committees in that sense.
4) In order to promote international unification, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC International
Standards transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional standards. Any
divergence between the IEC Standard and the corresponding national or regional standard shall be clearly
indicated in the latter.
5) The IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with one of its standards.
6) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the
subject of patent rights. The IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This part of International Standard IEC 60335 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 61:
Safety of household and similar electrical appliances.
This fifth edition cancels and replaces the fourth edition published in 1992 and its amend-
ments 1 (1999) and 2 (1999). It constitutes a technical revision.
The text of this part of IEC 60335 is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on Voting
61/2099/FDIS 61/2130/RVD
Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on
voting indicated in the above table.
This part 2 is to be used in conjunction with the latest edition of IEC 60335-1 and its
amendments. It was established on the basis of the fourth edition (2001) of that standard.
NOTE 1 When “Part 1” is mentioned in this standard, it refers to IEC 60335-1.
This part 2 supplements or modifies the corresponding clauses in IEC 60335-1, so as to
convert that publication into the IEC standard: Safety requirements for electric dishwashers.
When a particular subclause of Part 1 is not mentioned in this part 2, that subclause applies
as far as is reasonable. When this standard states "addition", "modification" or "replacement",
the relevant text in Part 1 is to be adapted accordingly.

– test specifications: in italic type;
– notes: in small roman type.
Words in bold in the text are defined in Clause 3. When a definition concerns an adjective, the adjective and
associated noun are also in bold.
The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until
2004. At this date, the publication will be
• reconfirmed;
• withdrawn;
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.
The following differences exist in the countries indicated below.
– 6.1: Appliances may be of class 0I, if the rated voltage does not exceed 150 V (Japan).
– 20.102: A 30 000 cycle endurance test is carried out on door interlocks (USA).
– 25.7: The supply cord is required to have a free length of at least 1,5 m (USA).
– Annex AA: The detergent and rinsing agent are different (USA).
– Annex BB: Different tests are carried out (USA).
The contents of the corrigendum of May 2003 have been included in this copy.

INTRODUCTION
It has been assumed in the drafting of this International Standard that the execution of its
provisions is entrusted to appropriately qualified and experienced persons.
This standard recognizes the internationally accepted level of protection against hazards such
as electrical, mechanical, thermal, fire and radiation of appliances when operated as in
normal use taking into account the manufacturer's instructions. It also covers abnormal
situations that can be expected in practice.
This standard takes into account the requirements of IEC 60364 as far as possible so that
there is compatibility with the wiring rules when the appliance is connected to the supply
mains. However, national wiring rules may differ.
If an appliance within the scope of this standard also incorporates functions that are covered
by another part 2 of IEC 60335, the relevant part 2 is applied to each function separately, as
far as is reasonable. If applicable, the influence of one function on the other is taken into
account.
This standard is a product family standard dealing with the safety of appliances and takes
precedence over horizontal and generic standards covering the same subject.
An appliance that complies with the text of this standard will not necessarily be considered to
comply with the safety principles of the standard if, when examined and tested, it is found to
have other features which impair the level of safety covered by these requirements.
An appliance employing materials or having forms of construction differing from those detailed
in the requirements of this standard may be examined and tested according to the intent of
the requirements and, if found to be substantially equivalent, may be considered to comply
with the standard.

Part 2-5: Particular requirements for dishwashers
1 Scope
This clause of Part 1 is replaced by the following.
This International Standard deals with the safety of electric dishwashers for household use
that are intended for washing and rinsing dishes, cutlery and other utensils, their rated
voltage being not more than 250 V for single-phase appliances and 480 V for other
appliances.
As far as is practicable, this standard deals with the common hazards presented by
appliances that are encountered by all persons in and around the home. However, in general,
it does not take into account
– the use of appliances by young children or infirm persons without supervision;
– playing with the appliance by young children.
NOTE 101 Attention is drawn to the fact that
– for appliances intended to be used in vehicles or on board ships or aircraft, additional requirements may be
necessary;
– in many countries additional requirements are specified by the national health authorities, the national
authorities responsible for the protection of labour, the national water supply authorities and similar authorities.
NOTE 102 This standard does not apply to
– commercial electric dishwashing machines (IEC 60335-2-58);
– appliances intended for industrial purposes;
– appliances intended to be used in locations where special conditions prevail, such as the presence of a
corrosive or explosive atmosphere (dust, vapour or gas).
