Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety - Part 2-82: Particular requirements for amusement machines and personal service machines

Publication date:   Oct 8, 2024

Scope

IEC 60335-2-82:2024 deals with the safety of electric commercial amusement machines and personal service machines, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V for single-phase appliances and 480 V for other appliances, including direct current (DC) supplied appliances and battery-operated appliances.
Examples of appliances that are within the scope of this standard are
– amusement machines: billiard tables, bowling machines, dartboards, driving simulators, gaming machines, kiddie rides, laser shooting appliances, pinball machines, video games
– personal service machines: card re-value machines, currency dispensers, luggage lockers, weighing machines, shoe shining appliances.
As far as is practicable, this standard deals with the common hazards presented by appliances that are encountered by users and maintenance persons.
Attention is drawn to the fact that
– for appliances intended to be used in vehicles or on board ships or aircraft, additional requirements can be necessary;
– in many countries, additional requirements are specified by the national authorities responsible for health, for the protection of labour and similar authorities.
This standard does not apply to
– appliances intended exclusively for household use;
– appliances intended exclusively for industrial purposes;
– appliances intended to be used in locations where special conditions prevail, such as the presence of a corrosive or explosive atmosphere (dust, vapour or gas);
– appliances for washing cars;
– dispensing appliances and vending machines (IEC 60335-2-75);
– appliances within the scope of IEC 62368-1, such as jukeboxes, household video games copying machines, ticket machines and automatic teller machines;
– appliances intended to be used when a trained attendant is present, such as virtual reality systems;
– equipment intended exclusively for fairgrounds, such as carousels;
– self-balancing personal transport devices (IEC 60335-2-114).
This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition published in 2017 and Amendment 1:2020. 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, 19.2, 19.101, 22.104);
c) introduction of test probe 18 (22.101);
d) introduction of test probe 19 (8.1.1, 20.2);
e) addition of surface temperature rise limits (11.3, 11.8, Table 101).
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.
