European foreword
The text of document 61C/459/FDIS, future edition 7 of IEC 60335-2-24, prepared by SC 61C, Household
appliances for refrigeration, of IEC TC 61, Safety of household and similar electrical appliances, was
submitted to the IEC-CENELEC parallel vote and was approved by CENELEC as EN 60335-2-24 on

This Part 2 has to be used in conjunction with EN 60335-1, Household and similar electrical appliances –
Safety – Part 1: General requirements. It was established on the basis of the 2002 edition of that
standard. Amendments and revisions of Part 1 have also to be taken into account and the dates when
such changes become applicable will be stated in the relevant amendment or revision of Part 1.

This Part 2 supplements or modifies the corresponding clauses of EN 60335-1, so as to convert it into the
European Standard: Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety - Part 2-24: Particular
requirements for refrigerating appliances, ice-cream appliances and ice makers.

When a particular subclause of Part 1 is not mentioned in this Part 2, that subclause applies as far as is
reasonable. When this standard states "addition", "modification" or "replacement", the relevant text of
Part 1 is to be adapted accordingly.
NOTE 1 The following numbering system is used:
– subclauses, tables and figures that are numbered starting from 101 are additional to those in Part 1;
– unless notes are in a new subclause or involve notes in Part 1, they are numbered starting from 101, including those in a
