Preface
This is the third edition of CAN/CSA-E60335-2-43, Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety - Part 2-43: Particular requirements for clothes dryers and towel rails, which is an adoption, with Canadian deviations, of the identically titled IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) Standard 60335-2-43 (edition 3:2002 consolidated with Amendment 1:2005 and Amendment 2:2008). It supersedes the previous edition published in 2001 as CAN/CSA-E60335-2-43 (adopted IEC 335-2-43:1995).
This Standard is intended to be used in conjunction with CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 60335-1-11, Safety of Household and Similar Appliances - Part 1: General Requirements (adopted IEC 60335-1:2001+A1:2004+A2:2006, with Canadian deviations).
This Standard is considered suitable for use for conformity assessment within the stated scope of the Standard.
Scope
This clause of Part 1 is replaced by the following.
This International Standard deals with the safety of electric clothes dryers for drying textiles on racks located in a warm airflow and to electric towel rails, for household and similar purposes, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V.
NOTE 101 The clothes racks may be fixed or free-standing in a cabinet. The air circulation may be natural or forced.
Appliances not intended for normal household use but that nevertheless may be a source of danger to the public, such as appliances intended to be used by laymen in shops, in light industry and on farms, are within the scope of this standard.
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
- persons (including children) whose
- physical, sensory or mental capabilities; or
- lack of experience and knowledge
prevents them from using the appliance safely without supervision or instruction;
- children playing with the appliance.
NOTE 102 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 and similar authorities.
NOTE 103 This standard does not apply to
- tumble dryers (IEC 60335-2-11);
- appliances intended exclusively 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).
