EU Electric Iron CE Certification EN 60335 Testing

An electric iron is a tool used for smoothing clothes and fabrics, typically with a power range of 300–1000W. It comes in several types: standard, temperature-adjustable, and steam spray irons. A temperature-adjustable iron can automatically regulate the temperature between 60–250°C and has an automatic power cut-off feature. It allows for using the appropriate temperature for different fabrics, which makes it more energy-efficient compared to a standard iron. The steam spray iron combines the temperature-adjustable function with steam production. Some models also include a spray feature, eliminating the need for manual spraying, which results in more even fabric wetting and better ironing results. This product requires CE certification testing for export to the EU. The JJR Laboratory in China is an IEC/ISO 17025 accredited laboratory providing relevant certification services.

EN 60335 Testing Standards:

This standard is set by the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CENELEC) and has become a legal requirement in European countries. The full title is "Safety of household and similar electrical appliances - Part 1: General requirements." The primary goal of the standard is to regulate and ensure the safety performance of household appliances and similar electrical equipment, including but not limited to kitchen appliances, cleaning equipment, electric kettles, electric irons, etc., to ensure their safety and reliability during normal use. The standard aims to ensure that these appliances will not cause harm to users, pets, or property under normal usage conditions.

The EN 60335 standard covers many aspects, including the appliance's structure, insulation, grounding, electrical connections, electrical components, electrical wiring, electromagnetic compatibility, temperature rise, and mechanical strength. The standard also addresses safety requirements during the design, manufacture, installation, and use of appliances, as well as testing methods and standards. Special types of appliances, such as handheld power tools with electric drives, gardening tools, and electric lawnmowers, are also covered by specific requirements under this standard. Additionally, the standard includes requirements for appliance labeling, instructions, and packaging.
