Annotation of standard text IEC 60335-2-116-ed.2.0 :
IEC 60335-2-116:2025 deals with the safety of furniture with electrically motorized parts intended for household and similar purposes, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V including direct current (DC) supplied furniture and battery-operated furniture. Furniture incorporating electrically motorized parts not intended for normal household use but which nevertheless can be a source of danger to the public, such as furniture intended to be used by laymen in shops, offices, hotels, restaurants, cinemas, hospitals, schools, in light industry and on farms, are within the scope of this standard. Examples of furniture incorporating electrically motorized parts, are – electrically operated/height adjustable tables and desks; – electrically operated/adjustable stands and wall attachment for e.g.TV sets and monitors; – electrically operated/adjustable seating; – beds with incorporated ventilators and filters; – electrically operated/adjustable beds; – electrically operated/adjustable storage units including kitchen units; – electrically operated/adjustable furniture intended to be secured to the wall or ceiling; – electrically operated extension elements (drawers and doors); – electric check-out furniture in hotels and shops; – furniture delivered in parts (ready to assemble or knock-down furniture). This standard deals with the reasonably foreseeable hazards presented by furniture incorporating electrically motorized parts that are encountered by all persons. However, in general, it does not take into account – persons whose physical, sensory or mental capabilities; or lack of experience and knowledge prevents them from using the furniture incorporating electric appliances, parts or components safely without supervision or instruction; – children playing with furniture incorporating electrically motorized parts. Additional requirements can be necessary for furniture incorporating electrically motorized parts 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 authorities for fire protection and similar authorities. This standard does not apply to: – furniture containing heating elements; – furniture intended to be used in locations where special conditions prevail, such as the presence of a corrosive or explosive atmosphere (dust, vapour or gas); – massage beds and massage chairs (IEC 60335-2-32); – medical electrical equipment (IEC 60601 series); – audio/video, information and communication technology equipment (IEC 62368-1); – electrical wheel chairs; – special furniture incorporating electric appliances, parts or components, which are part of industrial production equipment; – electric child care articles except electrical height adjustable changing (nursing) tables; – furniture especially for use by children; – furniture for outdoor use. Massage beds and massage chairs with motorized parts, other than those performing the massaging function, are also evaluated to the applicable requirements of this standard. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2019. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a) alignment with IEC 60335-1:2020; b) deletion or conversion of some notes to normative text (Clause 1); c) introduction of surface temperature limits (11.3, 11.8); d) introduction of test probe 19 (8.1.1, 20.2); e) revision of Clause 20.2.105 with a new entrapment force test method, including time-force profiles and updated force limits. This part 2 is to be used in conjunction with the latest edition of IEC 60335-1 and its amendments unless that edition precludes it; in that case, the latest edition that does not preclude it is used. It was established on the basis of the sixth edition (2020) of that standard. LIEC 60335-2-116:2025 traite de la securite des mobiliers avec des parties a motorisation electrique pour usages domestiques et analogues, dont la tension assignee est inferieure ou egale a 250 V, y compris les mobiliers alimentes en courant continu et les mobiliers alimentes par batteries. Les mobiliers incorporant des parties a motorisation electrique non destines a un usage domestique normal, mais qui peuvent neanmoins constituer une source de danger pour le public, tels que les mobiliers destines a etre utilises par des usagers non avertis dans des magasins, bureaux, hotels, restaurants, cinemas, hopitaux, ecoles, chez des artisans et dans des fermes, sont compris dans le domaine dapplication de la presente norme. Exemples de mobiliers incorporant des parties a motorisation electrique: – tables et bureaux a fonctionnement/reglage electrique de la hauteur; – meubles et fixations murales a fonctionnement/reglage electrique, pour les postes de television et les moniteurs, par exemple; – siege a fonctionnement/reglage electrique; – lits a ventilateurs et filtres incorpores; – lits a fonctionnement/reglage electrique; – unites de stockage a fonctionnement/reglage electrique, y compris les blocs cuisines; – mobiliers a fonctionnement/reglage electrique destines a etre fixes au mur ou au plafond; – elements dextension a fonctionnement electrique (tiroirs et portes); – mobiliers a commande electrique dans les hotels et les magasins; – mobiliers livres en pieces detachees (mobiliers prets a assembler ou a monter). La presente norme traite des dangers raisonnablement previsibles que presente le mobilier incorporant des parties a motorisation electrique pour toutes les personnes. Cependant, elle ne tient en general pas compte: – des personnes dont les capacites physiques, sensorielles ou mentales ou dont le manque dexperience ou de connaissance les empechent dutiliser le mobilier incorporant des appareils, parties ou compo
