INTRODUCTION
Edition 6 of IEC 60335–1:2020 defines and introduces requirements for a detachable power supply part of an appliance. In the document, 24.2 prohibits the use of a power supply in a flexible cord.
QUESTION:
Does Subclause 24.2 prohibit the use of a detachable power supply part?
ANSWER
No, a "detachable power supply part" is a defined term and is not captured by the term "power supply" as used in Subclause 24.2.
NOTEA detachable power supply part is captured by the defined term when the output of the power supply part is detachable from the class III construction part of the appliance at:
–
the power supply part, or
–
the class III construction part of the appliance.
However, the supply cord (if any) does not have to be detachable from the detachable power supply part.
FOREWORD
1)
The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of 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, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as "IEC Publication(s)"). 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. 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 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 IEC National Committees.
3)
IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any misinterpretation by any end user.
4)
In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
5)
IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6)
All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7)
No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC Publications.
8)
Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9)
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

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.
Guidance documents concerning the application of the safety requirements for appliances can be accessed via TC 61 supporting documents on the IEC website –
This information is given for the convenience of users of this International Standard and does not constitute a replacement for the normative text in this standard.
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 and takes into account the way in which electromagnetic phenomena can affect the safe operation of appliances.
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 the functions of an appliance are covered by different parts 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.
Throughout this publication, when "part 2" is mentioned, it refers to the relevant part of IEC 60335.
When a part 2 standard does not include additional requirements to cover hazards dealt with in Part 1, Part 1 applies.
NOTE 1This means that the technical committees responsible for the part 2 standards have determined that it is not necessary to specify particular requirements for the appliance in question over and above the general requirements.
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.
NOTE 2Horizontal publications, basic safety publications and group safety publications covering a hazard are not applicable since they have been taken into consideration when developing the general and particular requirements for the IEC 60335 series of standards.
Individual countries may wish to consider the application of this standard, as far as is reasonable, to appliances not mentioned in a part 2, and to appliances designed on new principles. In this case, consideration should be given to defining normal operation, specifying the classification of the appliance according to Clause 6 and specifying whether the appliance is operated attended or unattended. Consideration should also be given to particular categories of likely users and to related specific risks such as access to live parts, hot surfaces or hazardous moving parts.
An appliance that complies with the text of this standard will not necessarily be considered to comply with the safety principles of this 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 this standard.
NOTE 3Standards dealing with non-safety aspects of household appliances are:
–
IEC standards published by TC 59 concerning methods of measuring performance;
–
CISPR 11, CISPR 14–1 and relevant IEC 61000–3 series standards concerning electromagnetic emissions;
–
CISPR 14–2 concerning electromagnetic immunity;
–
IEC standards published by TC 111 concerning environmental matters.

1Scope
This International Standard deals with the safety of electrical appliances for household and similar purposes, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V for single-phase appliances and 480 V for other appliances including direct current (DC) supplied appliances and battery-operated appliances.
Appliances not intended for normal household use but which 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.
This standard deals with the reasonably foreseeable hazards presented by appliances that are encountered by all persons. 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.
Additional requirements may be necessary for appliances intended to be used in vehicles or on board ships or aircraft. 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.
This standard does not apply to:
–
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);
–
audio, video and similar electronic apparatus (IEC 60065);
–
medical electrical equipment (IEC 60601 series);
–
hand-held motor-operated electric tools (IEC 60745 series);
–
information technology equipment (IEC 60950–1);
–
transportable motor-operated electric tools (IEC 61029 series);
–
audio/video, information and communication technology equipment (IEC 62368–1);
–

discharged at a steady rate of current to attain, at 5 h of steady discharge (C5 rate), or the fastest discharge rate allowed by the cell manufacturer or battery manufacturer if it is slower than the C5 rate, until
–
discharge terminates due to operation of discharge termination circuitry; or
–
the battery (or cell) reaches a total voltage with an average voltage per cell equal to the end-of-discharge voltage for the cell chemistry being used, unless a different end of discharge voltage is specified by the cell manufacturer
Note 1 to entry: Examples of the end-of-discharge voltages for fully discharged common cell chemistries are typically
–
0,9 V/cell for nickel cadmium;
–
0,9 V/cell for nickel metal-hydride;
–
1,75 V/cell for lead-acid;
–
2,5 V/cell for lithium iron-phosphate;
–
3,0 V/cell for lithium cobalt-oxide.
