Electrical Appliances Sectional Committee, ET 32

FOREWORD

This Indian Standard was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized by the
Electrical Appliances Sectional Committee had been approved by the Electrotechnical Division Council.
This standard specifies general and safety requirements. The composite standard specifying the require-
ment of general, safety and performance characteristics of electric soldering irons are covered under
IS 959 : 1994. The composite standards covering general safety and performance requirements of other
heating tools covered under the scope of this standard will be brought out at a later date after
establishing the performance characteristics and their requirements.
This standard is to be read in conjunction with IS 302-l ( 1979 ) ‘Safety of household and similar
electrical appliances : Part 1 General requirements’. For the sake of convenience, the clauses of this
standard cor’respond to those of IS 302-l ( 1979 ) instead of reproducing full text of each clause, clauses
of 302-l ( 1979 ) which are applicable ( which means that relevant provisions of the clause apply ) or
not applicable and the sub-clause or portions thereof which ale not applicable are indicated as under:
a) In the case of a clause where it is applicable or not applicable, the wording used is <This clause
of IS 302-l ( 1979 ) is applicable/not applicable’.
b) In case of a sub-clause or part thereof ‘not applicable’ wherever a sub-clause of IS 302-l (1979)
is to be replaced by a new text, it has been indicated as under:
‘Replacement’ - followed by the new text.
Any addition to the existing provisions of a sub-clause of IS 302-l ( 1979 ) has been indicated as under:
‘Addition’ - followed by the text of the additional matter.
Clauses/tables which are additional to those of IS 302-l ( 1979 ) are numbered starting from 101 and
additional sub-clauses are numbered with main clause number followed by 101, 102, etc, for example
7.101.
While preparing this standard assistance has been derived from IEC Pub 335-2-45 ( 1986 ) ‘Safety of
household and similar electrical appliances : Part 2 Particular requirements for electric heating tools’
and IEC Pub 335-l ( 1976 ) ‘Safety of household and similar eletrical appliances

: 1960 revised )‘. number of places

retained in rounded off should be same as of the value in standard.

The test of 19.3 to 19.10 are not carried out on soldering
iron and other tools where heating elenjent is part of the
secondary circuit of the incorporated transformer.
For heat guns and hot-air fire lighters compliance is also
checked by the test of 19.101.
19.2 Replacement
Instead of operation without adequate heat discharge,
tools art opemted under the conditions specified in 11,
except that soldering guns and other tools where the
heating clement is part of the secondary circuit of the
incorpomtcd tmnsformcr are opemted continuously for
30 nlin, unless a biased-off switch is provided. In
which cast the tool is operated for 5 min.
19.2 Addition
Paint strippers incorporating integml scrapers are held
horizontally in a clamp over the total length of the
handle. A force of 70 N is exerted on the scmper edge
in the direction corresponding to normal use.
Fire lighters are opemted $ontinuously for 2 h or until
steady conditions are established, whichever is the
longer; without adding more fuel.
19.5 Addition
Thernloplastic conduit-welding tools are operated with
the fastest possible sequence of welding operations
until steady conditions are established.
Additional Subclause
19.101 Heat guns and hot-air fire lighters are subjected to
the following test, which is made with the heating element
opemtcd at the voltage specified in 11.4. The motor is
supplied from a separate source and operated at its work-
ing voltage until steady conditiola are established.
4
The motor speed is then reduced by decreasing the
supply voltage until it is just sufficient to prevent the
thermal cut-out from operating. The rate of decrease is:
- 1 V per rnin for motors having a working
voltage not exceeding 30 V, and
- 5 V per niin for nlotnrs having a working
voltage exceeding 30 V.
The tools are then opemted until steady conditions are
established.
During the test the tools shall not enlit flames or molten
nictal and the temperature rises shall not exceed the
values specified in 19.11.
20 STABII,ITY AND MECHANICAL HAZ4RDS
This clause of IS 302-l (1979) is applicable cxccpt as

20.1 Addition
Hand-held tools shall have adequate stability when
placed on their stand.
Contact lire lighters shall also have adequate stability
when in use.
Conlpliance is checked by the following additional lest:
The Fire lighter is placed on a horizontal surface
such as a table so that the nulxilnunl insertion mark
specified in 7.1 aligns with the edge of the surface.
The power supply cord is freely susprndcd, its
length including the plug not cxcccding 1 III. The
fire lighter shall remain stable in this position.
20.2 Addition
Soldering irons intended for de-soldering purposes,
having a mcchanisnl for operating an aspirating device,
shall present no hazard to the user. In particular no
spring loaded plunger which could strike the user may
bc incorporated, neither shall nlolten solder bc acciden-
tally cjcctcd from the appliance when used in accord-
ance with the manufacturer’s inrtruction5.
21 MECHANICAL STREN(;TH
This chusc of IS 302-l (1979) is applicable exrcpt as
follows:
21.1 Addition
For hand-held tools, rolnpliancc is also chcrked by the
1csts of 21.101.
For contact fire lighters, compliilwe is checked by the
test of 21.102.
21.101 Additioml Sub-clause
The power supply cord of hand-held tonls is cut to a
length of 10 cm, measured from the point where the
cord, or cord guard, enters the tool.
The tool is then dropped from a hright of 1 n1 on to a
hardwood base having a thickness of 50 nlnl.
This test is made five times, the tool being in a position
such that its majoraxis is horizontal and so that a different
part of the tool is exposed to the impact each time.
The tool is then dropped five times, with its major axis
vertical and with the soldering tip, on corresponding
part of nther tools, pointing downwards.
