15 Moisture resistance
This clause of Part 1 is applicable except as follows.
15.2 Replacement:
Appliances shall be constructed so that spillage of liquid in normal use does not affect their electrical insulation.
Compliance is checked be the following tests.
Appliances with type X attachment, except those having a specially prepared cord, are fitted with the lightest permissible type of flexible cord and having the smallest cross-sectional area specified in Table 13.
The inlet to the discharge pump or to the gravity drain is blocked. The drum is filled as specified for normal operation, the mass of water being twice the mass of the dry textile material. Any water remaining after the saturation process is poured into the appliance, which is supplied at rated voltage and operated for 1 mm or the maximum period allowed by the programmer or timer, whichever is shorter.
In addition, continuous-flow rinsing appliances having a vertical axis, are completely filled with saturated textile material and 101 of water is poured in over a period of 20 s. The appliance is then operated while supplied at rated voltage.
For appliances having a working surface, controls are placed in the on position and 0,5 I of water containing approximately 1 % NaCl and 0,6 % of rinsing agent, as specified in Annex AA, is poured over the top of the appliance. The controls are then operated through their working range, this operation being repeated after a period of 5 mm.
The appliance is supplied at rated voltage and operated for 5 mm or the maximum period allowed by a programmer or timer, whichever is shorter.
The test is carried out four times, the load being moved each time through an angle of 9Q0 around the wall of the drum.
The appliance shall not overturn and the drum shall not hit other parts except the enclosure. After the test, the appliance shall be fit for further use.
20.102 The lid or door shall be interlocked so that the appliance can only be operated when the lid or door is in the closed position.
Compliance is checked by inspection and by manual test.
NOTE Interlocks that can be released by means of the test probe B of IEC 61032 are not considered to meet this requirement.
20.103 For appliances having a drum with a rotational kinetic energy exceeding 1 500 J or a maximum peripheral speed exceeding 20 mIs, it shall not be possible to open the lid while the drum is in motion.
Compliance is checked by inspection, by measurement and by the following test.
The appliance is supplied at rated voltage and operated empty. The force determined during the test of 22.101 with the lid interlocked is applied to the lid in an attempt to open it.AS NZS 60335.2.4 pdf download.
