Standard is an adoption with Australian and New Zealand national modifications of the sixth edition of IEC 60335 1, Household and similar electrical appliances – Safety – Part 1: General requirements. It has been varied as indicated to take account of Australian and New Zealand conditions. The 2022 edition of AS/NZS 60335.1 is only to be used in conjunction with the appropriate Part 2 of AS/NZS 60335 based on this edition. The Parts 2 contain clauses to supplement or modify the corresponding clauses in this part to provide the relevant requirements for each type of appliance. AS/NZS 60335.1:2020 and its amendments remain valid until all the parts 2 that are used in conjunction with it have been withdrawn. No date of withdrawal of AS/NZS 60335.1:2020 and its amendments (dow) has therefore been fixed.
