Description
of content: IEC 60335-2-97:2023
deals with the safety of electric drives for shutters, blinds and awnings,
intended for household and similar purposes, their rated voltage being not
more than 250 V for single-phase drives and 480 V for other drives, including
direct current (DC) supplied appliances and battery-operated appliances.
Examples of
equipment that can be driven are
– spring
controlled folding arm awnings.
– curtains.
– grilles
covering doors and windows.
– projection
screens.
– shutters
covering doors and windows.
– draperies.
Drives can be
supplied with a driven part.
Drives not
intended for normal household use but that nevertheless can be a source of
danger to the public, such as drives intended to be used by laymen in shops,
in light industry, on farms and on industrial premises, are within the scope
of this standard.
As far as is
practicable, this standard deals with the common hazards presented by drives
that are encountered by all persons in and around the home. 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 drive safely without
supervision or instruction.
– children
playing with the drive.
