CLAUSE VERDICT COMMENT
Modification:

Add after the second paragraph:

Failure of the transfer medium flow, or of any control devices, shall not result in a
19.1 hazard.

Replace the 1st and 2nd paragraphs of the test specification by the following:

Appliances are subjected to the tests specified in 19.2 to 19.10, 19.101, 19.102 and
19.103, as applicable.
D1 Modification by replacement of the last paragraph of Clause 19.1 of this
Part 2 with the following:
19.1DV.1
Appliances are additionally subjected to the tests specified in Clauses 19.104 and
19.105DV as applicable.
D2 Modification of Clause 19.1 of this Part 2 by addition:

Appliances with supplementary heaters or provision for supplementary heaters

shall be configured with inlet and outlet ducts and instrumented in accordance
with the applicable clauses of Clause 11.

For appliances with supplementary heaters or provision for supplementary heaters

19.1DV.2
capable of operation with simultaneous supplementary heat and refrigerant heat,
the refrigerant heat may be simulated by use of an alternate heating source equal
or greater than the heat pump’s capacity when operated under the conditions of
Clause 11. This capacity shall be maintained throughout the test of Clause 19. If at
any condition during the tests of Clause 19, the refrigerant heat would be
interrupted by protective control, the alternate heat source shall be interrupted at
that point in the test and the test continued.
Replacement:

All ducted appliances provided with SUPPLEMENTARY HEATERS are subjected to

the following test under the conditions specified in Clause 11:

After the airflow conditions specified are established, the indoor airflow is
restricted to such an extent that the temperature of the air in the outlet, measured
by means of the thermocouple grid (see 11.3), is 3 K below the temperature
19.2
obtained after a temperature limiting control, a motor PROTECTIVE DEVICE, a
pressure switch or similar device operates for the first time as a result of slowly
restricting the free area of the inlet.

This is achieved if the temperature rise is approximately 1 K per min.

It is necessary to restrict the free area of the inlet until the first of the protective
devices operates and then operation is resumed with sufficient restriction so that

8 of 23
 the temperature of the discharge air is 3 K below the temperature at the moment
of cut-off.

Appliances are operated at RATED VOLTAGE or at the upper limit of the RATED
VOLTAGE RANGE.

To facilitate this test, the PROTECTIVE DEVICE which has operated shall be short-
circuited once the temperature at which it operates has been determined, if
necessary.

Non-ducted appliances provided with supplementary heaters are operated as

specified in Clause 11.

Thermal controls that operate during the test of Clause 11 are short circuited.
When steady conditions are established, the air flow rate is reduced until it is just
sufficient to prevent a thermal cut out from operating.

Under these conditions, the appliance is again operated until steady conditions are
established or for 1 h, whichever is longer.

After this period, the airflow is further restricted to verify that the thermal cut out
operates.
D2 Modification of Clause 19.2 of this Part 2 by replacing with 19.2DV.1 –
19.2DV
19.2DV.4:
All ducted appliances provided with SUPPLEMENTARY HEATERS are subjected to
the following test under the conditions specified in Clause 11. Appliances are
19.2DV.1
operated at RATED VOLTAGE or at the upper limit of the RATED VOLTAGE RANGE of
the SUPPLEMENTARY HEATERS.
(Limit Cut-out) After the airflow conditions specified are established, the airflow is
then restricted at a rate of 1°K/min outlet air temperature rise until a self-resetting
thermal cut-out device operates for the first time as a result of slowly restricting
the free area of the inlet.

19.2DV.2 The restriction shall be halted after any protective device operates until steady
state conditions are established. After steady state conditions are reached the
restriction is resumed. The test shall continue until the last self-resetting thermal
cut-out operates.

The outlet air temperature shall not exceed 93°C.

(Heating Op) After the airflow conditions specified are established, the indoor
airflow is restricted to such an extent that the temperature of the air in the outlet,
measured by means of the thermocouple grid (see Clause 11.3), is 3 K below the
19.2DV.3 temperature obtained after a self-resetting thermal cut-out device operated for the
first time as a result of slowly restricting the free area of the inlet.

The appliance shall be operate until steady state conditions are established or for 1

9 of 23
 h, whichever is longer. During the test, the temperatures are monitored
continuously and shall not exceed the values shown in Table 3.

To facilitate this test, the self-resetting thermal cut-out which has operated in
Clause 19.2DV.2 may be short-circuited, if necessary.
(Restricted Inlet) After the airflow conditions specified are established, the airflow
is restricted at a rate of 1°K/min outlet air temperature rise until a self-resetting
thermal cut-out device operates as a result of slowly restricting the free area of the
inlet.

The restriction shall be halted after any protective device operates until steady
19.2DV.4 state conditions are established. After steady state conditions are reached the
restriction is resumed. The test shall continue until the outlet is fully restricted.
The temperatures are monitored continuously. Temperatures shall not exceed the
values shown in (Table 3 + 30°C) during the first hour and Table 3 thereafter.

Note: Tests of Clause 19.2DV.4 may be conducted immediately after the tests of
Clause 19.2DV.2.
D2 Modification by addition of a note to Clause 19.4 of this Part 2:

Note: For appliances with supplementary heat, the test of Clauses 19.2 (limit cut-
out, heating operation and restricted inlet), 19.101 (fan failure), 19.101DV.2
19.4DV
(blocked outlet), 19.104 (curtain drape) and 19.105DV (back up protection) address
the fault conditions as indicated in parenthesis. There may be other forms of
operation or defects that could result in a hazardous condition that need to be
address which may or may not be related to supplementary heat.
Replace the first paragraph and Notes 1 and 2 by:

The motors, other than motor-compressors and stationary circulation pumps in

compliance with IEC 60335-2-51, are mounted on a support of wood or similar
material. The motor rotors are locked; fan blades and brackets are not removed.

The motors are supplied at their supplied voltage when the appliance is supplied at
RATED VOLTAGE or at the upper limit of the RATED VOLTAGE RANGE, in a circuit as
shown in Figure 102.
19.7
Under these conditions, the motor is operated for 15 days (360 h) or until a
PROTECTION DEVICE permanently opens the circuit, whichever is the shorter
period.

During the test, the ambient temperature is maintained at 23 °C ± 5 °C.

If the temperature of the motor windings does not exceed 90 °C when steady
conditions are established, the test is considered to be ended.

During the test, the temperature of the enclosure shall not exceed 150 °C and the

10 of 23
 temperature of the windings shall not exceed the values shown in Table 8.

Three days (72 h) after the beginning of the test, the motor shall withstand an
electric strength test as specified in 16.3.

At the end of the test, the leakage current, when measured as specified in 16.2 but
with a test voltage of twice the RATED VOLTAGE between all windings and the
enclosure, shall not exceed 2 mA.

Add after the last paragraph:

If the motor-compressor has not been type-tested against the requirements of lEC
60335-2-34, a sample shall be provided with the rotor locked and being filled with
oil and refrigerant as intended.

The sample shall then be subjected to the tests specified in 19.101, 19.102, 19.103
and 19.105 of lEC 60335-2-34:2012, if applicable, and shall comply with the
requirements in 19.104 of IEC 60335-2-34:2012.
Replacement:

Three phase motors other than motor compressors are operated under the
19.8
conditions of Clause 11 at rated voltage or at the upper limit of the RATED
VOLTAGE RANGE with one phase disconnected, until steady conditions are
obtained or the PROTECTIVE DEVICE operates.
19.9 19.9 This subclause of Part 1 is not applicable.
Modification:

Add before the first paragraph:

The first paragraph of Part 1 in not applicable for stand-by mode if unintentional
operation does not cause any hazards.

Replace the second paragraph by the following:

Appliances incorporating a PROTECTIVE ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT are subjected to the

19.11.4 tests of 19.11.4.1 to 19.11.4.7. The tests are carried out after the PROTECTIVE
ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT has operated during the relevant tests of Clause 19 except
19.2, 19.6, 19.11.3, 19.102 and 19.103.

Add after the second paragraph the following:

If the appliance incorporates more than one PROTECTIVE ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT,

each PROTECTIVE ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT has to be tested individually with the
appliance operated under NORMAL OPERATION at any temperature within
the working range.

11 of 23
 Components protected by a PROTECTIVE ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT that have been
previously tested and shown to comply with the requirements of 19.11.4 of its
standard need not to be retested in the final application, if engineering judgement
gives evidence that the test in the final application will not lead to a hazardous
condition.

NOTE 101 Components may be for example motor compressors, fans and
circulating pumps.

NOTE 102 Test results of 19.11.4.1, 19.11.4.2 and 19.11.4.3 may possibly be
influenced by the wiring and the metal housing of the final application. Therefore,
it is recommended that the best moment to perform these tests is once in the final
application.

NOTE 103 Protective electronic circuit (PEC) operation is understood as the

operation that stops the component(s) operation controlled by the PEC with the
intention to prevent the hazardous situation.

Add after the last paragraph of the test specification the following:

For these tests, it may be necessary to provide specially prepared component

samples, e.g. compressors with locked rotor.
Add to the first sentence:
19.11.4.8
“at any temperature within the working range.”
Modification:
19.13
Footnote a) of Table 9 is not applicable.
D2 Modification to add the following to Table 9 in the Part 1:

Surfaces of test enclosure where clearance more than zero to 100
combustible material is specified

Addition before the note:

Locking in the ″on″ position of the main contacts of a contact intended for
switching on and off the heating element(s) in normal use is considered to be a
19.14 fault condition, unless the appliance is provided with at least two sets of contacts
connected in series. This condition is, for example, achieved by providing two
contactors operating independently of each other or by providing one contactor
having two independent armatures operating two independent sets of main
contacts.
D1 Modification of Clause 19.14 to add the following:
19.14DV
Contacts tested for 100K cycles are considered to meet the intent of Clause 19.14
and only one set of contacts shall be required.

12 of 23
 D1 Modification by addition to Clause 19.101 of this Part 2:

(Blocked Outlet) The appliance is operated under the conditions in Clause 11 at

RATED VOLTAGE or at the upper limit of the RATED VOLTAGE RANGE, at an
ambient temperature of 23 °C ± 5 °C.
19.101DV.2
When steady conditions are attained, the appliance outlet air opening is totally
closed off and operation continued until maximum temperatures are determined.
This test with the outlet air opening closed shall not be conducted on any unit
without a duct system (free air discharge) with any air discharge openings located
more than 1.22 m (4 ft) above the floor level when the unit is installed as intended.
D2 Modification by replacing the 2nd paragraph of Clause 19.103 with the
following:

The test is repeated except that the DRY-BULB TEMPERATURE is increased to a

value 10 K above the maximum temperature specified by the manufacturer, but
19.103DV
not to exceed 52°C (125.6°F).

Note: The ambient temperature may be increases slowly. If a protective control

interrupts operation before reaching 10 K above the maximum temperature
specified by the manufacturer, or 52°C the test can be terminated at that ambient.
All appliances provided with SUPPLEMENTARY HEATERS and with free air discharge
are subjected to the following test in each mode of operation.

Appliances are operated under the conditions specified in Clause 11, with any
controls which limit the temperature during the test of Clause 11 short-circuited,
and with the appliance covered.

The covering is made with felt strips each having a width of 100 mm and lined with
a single layer of textile material.

The felt has a specified mass of 4 kg/m2 ± 0,4 kg/m2 and a thickness of 25 mm.
The textile material consists of a prewashed double-hemmed cotton sheet having a
19.104 mass between 140 g/m2 and 175 g/m2 in the dry condition.

Thermocouples are attached to the back of small blackened disks of copper or

brass, 15 mm in diameter and 1 mm thick.

The disks are spaced 50 mm apart and placed between the textile material and the
felt on the vertical centre line of each strip.

The disks are supported in such a way as to prevent them from sinking into the felt.

The strips are applied with the textile material in contact with the appliance so that
they cover the whole vertical dimension of the front, pass over the top and extend
down the rear surface.

13 of 23
 If the appliance is constructed to stand away from the wall or if it is for fixing to a
wall so that the gap between the heater and the wall exceeds 30 mm and the
horizontal components of the distance between any two fixing points or spacers or
between such points and the end of the appliance exceed 100 mm, the rear surface
of the appliance shall be completely covered.

Otherwise, the rear surface is covered over a distance approximately equal to one-
fifth of the vertical dimension of the heater.

The strips are applied to each half of the appliance in turn and then to the
complete appliance.

During the test, the temperature shall not exceed 150 °C but an overshoot of 25 °C
is permitted during the first hour.

Thermal protective devices are allowed to operate.

D1 Modification by addition of a new subclause to Clause 19 of this Part 2:

(Backup Protection) For appliances with supplementary heaters, all self-resetting

thermal cut-out shall be by-passed and the tests of Clauses 19.2DV.4, 19.101 and
19.101DV.2 shall be repeated.

For the test of Clause 19.2DV.4, the rate of restriction shall be such that the
opening is totally blocked at the end of 30 min.

When tested in accordance with this clause, the temperatures of the appliance and
metal duct where suitable for zero clearance or the inside surface of the wooden
19.105DV
enclosure shall not exceed 100°C except that the temperature shall not exceed
130°C during the 30 min period following the initial imposition of the test
condition. The temperature following the functioning of one or more of the non-
self-resetting thermal cut-outs shall be no more than 175°C; however, at the end of
the 30 min period following the functioning of the firstcontrol or cutoff, the
temperature shall not exceed 100°C.

The temperature limits and outlet air temperature limits of Clause 19.2DV.4 do not
apply.

Clause 19.13 of this Part 2 and the Part 1 do not apply.

 • remove refrigerant;
• purge the circuit with inert gas;
• evacuate;
• purge again with inert gas;
• open the circuit by cutting or brazing.
Annex FF Info Leak simulation tests
The test is conducted in a room that is draft free and of sufficient size to conduct
the test.

The minimum volume (V) is:

V = (4*m)/LFL,

V = (15 × m)/LFL,

where

V is the minimum volume in m3 with a ceiling height not less than 2,2 m; m is the
refrigerant charge mass in kg;
LFL is the lower flammable limit in kg/m3 from Annex BB.
FF.2.4
The quantity of gas injected shall be measured with acceptable accuracy. Weighing
the bottle is required.

Care shall be taken that the installation of the capillary tube does not unduly
influence the results of the test and that the structure of the appliance does not
unduly influence the results of the test.

The instrument used for monitoring the refrigerant gas concentration shall have a
fast response to the gas concentration, typically 2 s to 3 s and shall be located so as
to not unduly influence the results of the test.

If gas chromatography is used to measure the refrigerant gas concentrations, the

gas sampling in confined areas shall not exceed 2 ml every 30 s.
The measured concentration of refrigerant gas surrounding the component shall
not exceed 75% 25% of the LFL of the refrigerant gas, and shall not exceed 50%
15% of the LFL of the refrigerant gas for a time period of 5 min or the duration of
