FOREWORD
INTERNATIONAL ELECTROTECHNICAL COMMISSION
HOUSEHOLD AND SIMILAR ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES – SAFETY – Part 2-29: Particular

requirements for battery chargers
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising all national
electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international co-operation on all questions
concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes
International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter
referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in
the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations
liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international consensus of
opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National Committees in that
sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held
responsible for the way in which they are used or for any misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications transparently to the
maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between any IEC Publication and the
corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity assessment services
and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any services carried out by independent
certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and members of its
technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or other damage of any nature
whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or
reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is indispensable for the
correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent rights. IEC shall
not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
DISCLAIMER
This Consolidated version is not an official IEC Standard and has been prepared for user
convenience. Only the current versions of the standard and its amendment(s) are to be
considered the official documents.
This Consolidated version of IEC 60335-2-29 bears the edition number 5.1. It consists of the fifth
edition (2016-06) [documents 61/5142/FDIS and 61/5173/RVD] and its amendment 1 (2019-03)
[documents 61/5760/FDIS and 61/5799/RVD]. The technical content is identical to the base edition
and its amendment.
This Final version does not show where the technical content is modified by amendment 1. A
separate Redline version with all changes highlighted is available in this publication.
This part of International Standard IEC 60335 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 61: Safety of
household and similar electrical appliances.
This fifth edition constitutes a technical revision.
The principal changes in this edition as compared with the fourth edition of IEC 60335 2 29 are as follows
(minor changes are not listed):
• Revised the drop test to refer to IEC 60068-2-31 (21.101);
• Requirements for supply cords on battery chargers used at low temperatures (25.7);
• Requirements for battery chargers having an output voltage exceeding SELV have been added (1, 3.2.2,
3.4.3, 10.101, 24.4, 25.5, 25.7, 25.8, 25.15. 26.5);
• A classification for battery chargers used outdoors has been added (6.2, 29.2);
• Some notes in Clause 1, Subclauses 7.1 and 22.102, Figure 101 and Annex AA 11.8 have been
converted to normative text.
This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
This part 2 is to be used in conjunction with the latest edition of IEC 60335-1 and its amendments. It was
established on the basis of the fifth edition (2010) of that standard.
NOTE 1 When “Part 1” is mentioned in this standard, it refers to IEC 60335-1.
This part 2 supplements or modifies the corresponding clauses in IEC 60335-1, so as to convert that
publication into the IEC standard: Safety requirements for battery chargers.
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 in Part
1 is to be adapted accordingly.
NOTE 2 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 replaced
clause or subclause;
– additional annexes are lettered AA, BB, etc.
NOTE 3 The following print types are used:
– requirements: in roman type;
– test specifications: in italic type;
– notes: in small roman type.
Words in bold in the text are defined in Clause 3. When a definition concerns an adjective, the adjective and the associated noun are
also in bold.

The committee has decided that the contents of the base publication and its amendment will remain
unchanged until the stability date indicated on the IEC web site under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data
related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.
NOTE 4 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 publication.
The following differences exist in the countries indicated below.
– 3.1.9: The artificial load may not be used (USA).
– 11.2: The appliance is not placed in a test corner (USA).
– 21.101: The drop test is carried out differently on outdoor direct plug-in battery chargers (USA).
– 21.102: The test is different (USA).
– 22.26: Basic insulation is allowed between live parts and SELV circuits (USA).
– Annex AA, 11.8: Higher temperature rises are allowed (USA).
– Annex AA, Clause 17: Higher temperature rises are allowed (USA).
– Annex AA, 19.13: Higher temperature rises are allowed (USA).
101DV D2 Modify NOTE 1 and the paragraph following it in the Part 2 IEC Foreword by

NOTE 1 When “Part 1” is mentioned in this Standard, it refers to CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 60335-1:16 / UL 60335-1 (6th
Ed.).
This Part 2 supplements or modifies the corresponding clauses in CAN/CSA-C22.2 No.

60335-1, Ed 2: 2016-10-31 / UL 60335-1, Ed. 6: 2016-10-31 (based on IEC 60335-1 Ed.
5.1:2013), so as to convert that publication into the CSA/UL standard: Particular
requirements for battery chargers.
102DV DE Modify the last paragraph in NOTE 3 of the Part 2 IEC Foreword by replacing it
with the following:
Words in bold or SMALL ROMAN CAPS in the text are defined in Clause 3. When a definition concerns an
adjective, the adjective and the associated noun are also in bold or SMALL ROMAN CAPS.
103DV D2 Modification to delete the text of the last paragraph of the Part 2 IEC Foreword,
including all eight dashed items.
104DV DE Modification to add the following text at the end of the Part 2 IEC Foreword:

thousands and uses a comma instead of a period to indicate a decimal point. For example,
1 000 means 1,000 and 1,01 means 1.01.

INTRODUCTION
It has been assumed in the drafting of this International Standard that the execution of its provisions is
entrusted to appropriately qualified and experienced persons.
This standard recognizes the internationally accepted level of protection against hazards such as
electrical, mechanical, thermal, fire and radiation of appliances when operated as in normal use taking into
account the manufacturer's instructions. It also covers abnormal situations that can be expected in
practice and takes into account the way in which electromagnetic phenomena can affect the safe
operation of appliances.
This standard takes into account the requirements of IEC 60364 as far as possible so that there is
compatibility with the wiring rules when the appliance is connected to the supply mains. However, national
wiring rules may differ.
If an appliance within the scope of this standard also incorporates functions that are covered by another
part 2 of IEC 60335, the relevant part 2 is applied to each function separately, as far as is reasonable. If
applicable, the influence of one function on the other is taken into account.
When a part 2 standard does not include additional requirements to cover hazards dealt with in Part 1,
Part 1 applies.
NOTE 1 This means that the technical committees responsible for the part 2 standards have determined that it is not necessary to
specify particular requirements for the appliance in question over and above the general requirements.
This standard is a product family standard dealing with the safety of appliances and takes precedence
over horizontal and generic standards covering the same subject.
NOTE 2 Horizontal and generic standards covering a hazard are not applicable since they have been taken into consideration when
developing the general and particular requirements for the IEC 60335 series of standards. For example, in the case of temperature
requirements for surfaces on many appliances, generic standards, such as ISO 13732-1 for hot surfaces, are not applicable in
addition to Part 1 or part 2 standards.
An appliance that complies with the text of this standard will not necessarily be considered to comply with
the safety principles of the standard if, when examined and tested, it is found to have other features that
impair the level of safety covered by these requirements.
An appliance employing materials or having forms of construction differing from those detailed in the
requirements of this standard may be examined and tested according to the intent of the requirements
and, if found to be substantially equivalent, may be considered to comply with the standard.
