Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety - Part 2-81: Particular requirements for foot warmers and heating mats
IEC 60335-2-81:2024 deals with the safety of electric foot warmers and heating mats for household and similar purposes, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V including direct current (DC) supplied appliances and battery-operated appliances.Appliances not intended for normal household use but which nevertheless can be a source of danger to the public, such as appliances intended to be used by laypersons in shops, in light industry and on farms, 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 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 appliance safely without supervision or instruction;? children playing with the appliance.Additional requirements can be necessary for appliances 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 water supply authorities and similar authorities.This standard does not apply to:? appliances specifically intended for use under medical supervision;? electric blankets and pads (IEC 60335-2-17);? electrically heated carpets (IEC 60335-2-106);? electrical heating appliances for breeding and rearing animals (IEC 60335-2-71).This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition published in 2015, Amendment 1:2017 and Amendment 2:2020. 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) conversion of some notes to normative text (Clause 1, 13.2, 16.2, 21.103, 21.104, 21.105, 21.106);c) addition of test probe 19 for accessibility (8.1.1, 8.1.3, 20.2, B.22.3, B.22.4);d) addition of external surface temperatures (Clause 11);e) addition of the test of 21.107 for control units intended to be placed on a surface;f) alignment of 30.102 with IEC 60335-2-17.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.

Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety - Part 2-81: Particular requirements for foot warmers and heating mats
IEC 60335-2-81:2024 deals with the safety of electric foot warmers and heating mats for household and similar purposes, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V including direct current (DC) supplied appliances and battery-operated appliances.
Appliances not intended for normal household use but which nevertheless can be a source of danger to the public, such as appliances intended to be used by laypersons in shops, in light industry and on farms, 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 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 appliance safely without supervision or instruction;
? children playing with the appliance.
Additional requirements can be necessary for appliances 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 water supply authorities and similar authorities.
This standard does not apply to:
? appliances specifically intended for use under medical supervision;
? electric blankets and pads (IEC 60335-2-17);
? electrically heated carpets (IEC 60335-2-106);
? electrical heating appliances for breeding and rearing animals (IEC 60335-2-71).
This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition published in 2015, Amendment 1:2017 and Amendment 2:2020. 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) conversion of some notes to normative text (Clause 1, 13.2, 16.2, 21.103, 21.104, 21.105, 21.106);
c) addition of test probe 19 for accessibility (8.1.1, 8.1.3, 20.2, B.22.3, B.22.4);
d) addition of external surface temperatures (Clause 11);
e) addition of the test of 21.107 for control units intended to be placed on a surface;
f) alignment of 30.102 with IEC 60335-2-17.
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.

Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety - Part 2-81: Particular requirements for foot warmers and heating mats
IEC 60335-2-81:2015 deals with the safety of electric foot warmers and heating mats for household and similar purposes, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V. Appliances not intended for normal household use but which nevertheless may be a source of danger to the public, such as appliances intended to be used by laymen in shops, in light industry and on farms, 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 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 appliance safely without supervision or instruction. It also does not take into account children playing with the appliance. It was established on the basis of the fifth edition (2010) of that standard. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2002, its Amendment 1 (2007) and its Amendment 2 (2011). It constitutes a technical revision. The principal changes in this edition as compared with the second edition of IEC 60335-2-81 are as follows (minor changes are not listed): - requirements for washable appliances (5.3, 7.1, 7.6, 7.12); - requirements for controls in flexible cords (15.1.1, 24.2) and requirements for appliance inlets (22.105, 24.1.5, 29.1.3). The attention of National Committees is drawn to the fact that equipment manufacturers and testing organizations may need a transitional period following publication of a new, amended or revised IEC publication in which to make products in accordance with the new requirements and to equip themselves for conducting new or revised tests. It is the recommendation of the committee that the content of this standard be adopted for implementation nationally not earlier than 12 months or later than 36 months from the date of its publication. Key words: Foot warmer, heating element, heating mat This publication is to be read in conjunction with IEC 60335-1:2010.
