AS 60335.2.80:2016 Household and similar electrical appliances—Safety
21 .101 Fan guards are subjected to a push force and a pull force of 20 N applied along the axis of the fan motor. After the test, it shall not be possible to touch dangerous moving parts with a test probe that is similar to test probe B of IEC 61032, but having a circular stop face with a diameter of 50 mm instead of the non-circular face. The test probe is applied with a force not exceeding 5 N.
21 .102 Ceiling fans shall have adequate strength.
Compliance is checked by the following test.
Ceiling fans are mounted in accordance with the installation instructions. A load equal to four times the mass of the fan is suspended from the body of the fan for 1 min.
A torque of 1 Nm is then applied to the fixed body of the fan for 1 min. The test is repeated with the torque applied in the reverse direction.
The suspension system including any safety suspension system device shall not break and the fan shall not be damaged to such an extent that compliance with 8.1, 16.3 and Clause 29 is impaired.
NOTE The intent is to test the parts of the ceiling fan and not the capability of the ceiling materials.
22.11 Modification:
The 50 N force is not applied to clips used to fasten fan guards. Instead, a force of 15 N is applied in any direction to the clips in an attempt to release them.
22.101 Appliances having provision for attaching a luminaire shall incorporate appropriate terminals and internal wiring. The internal wiring associated with the luminaire shall have insulation at least equivalent to silicone rubber compound type IE2 complying with IEC 60245-3. This requirement is not applicable to fans incorporating a luminaire that cannot be replaced without breaking the appliance.
22.102 The ceiling fan shall be constructed so that a failure of the fixing device of the motor to the mounting rod could not give rise to risk of injury to the user or surroundings.
Compliance is checked by the requirement and inspection or test of 22.102.1, 22.102.2, 22.102.3, 22.102.4 or 22.102.5, as appropriate for the design. After the test, the ceiling fan shall not be damaged to such an extent that compliance with Clause 8.1, 16.3, 29.1 and 29.2 are impaired.
