1. Scope
This clause of IEC Publication 335-1 is applicable excepts as follows:
1.1 Replacement:
This standard applies to electric fans and their associated regulators
intended for use on single-phase a.c. and d.c. circuits not exceeding
250 V, for household and similar purposes, such as ceiling, table,
pedestal, partition and ventilating fans.
Wherever applicable, the term "fan" used in this standard includes its
associated regulators, if any.
Provisions of this standard may also be adapted to the extent
applicable to fans not intended for normal household use, which,
nevertheless, may be a source of danger to the public.
This standard does not take into account the special hazards which
exist in nurseries and other places where there are children or aged or
infirm persons without supervision. In such cases additional
requirements may be necessary.
Additional requirements may also be necessary for fans intended to be
used in:
i) vehicles, and
ii) tropical countries.
This standard does not apply to safety requirements for:
- fans designed exclusively for industrial purposes;
- fans intended to be used in locations where special conditions
prevail, such as the presence of corrosive or explosive atmosphere
(dust, vapour or gas);
- fans used in air heaters, refrigerator equipment and air
conditioners;
- fans for cooling built into special heating appliances such as
ranges, ovens, range hoods and microwave cooking appliances;
- fans for use in ships and jet fans, which are covered in separate
standards (under consideration).
Attention is drawn to the fact that in many countries additional
requirements may be specified by the national authorities responsible
for health and for the protection of labour.
1.2 Addition:
This standard is concerned with safety and does not cover performance
requirements and the corresponding tests.
