This clause of Part 1 is replaced by the following.
This European Standard deals with the safety of electric room heaters for household and similar purposes,
their rated voltage being not more than 250 V for single-phase appliances and 480 V for other appliances.
For extraction fans of ceiling mounted heat lamp appliances, EN 60335-2-80 is applicable as far as is
reasonable.
Appliances intended to be used by laymen in shops and other premises for normal housekeeping purposes,
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 household and similar environments.
However, in general, it does not take into account:
• children playing with the appliance;
• the use of the appliance by very young children;
• the use of the appliance by young children without supervision.
It is recognized that very vulnerable people may have needs beyond the level addressed in this European
Standard.
