New standards
IEC 60335-2-96:2024 deals with the safety of flexible sheet heating elements intended to be incorporated into floors and walls below 1,2 m and above 2,3 m and in ceilings, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V for single-phase installations and 480 V for other installations including direct current (DC) supplied appliances. Flexible sheet heating elements are converted into heating units that are incorporated in the building in accordance with the instructions after which the required level of protection against hazards is achieved.
Attention is drawn to the fact that
- in many countries, different wiring rules apply;
- for heating units intended to be used in vehicles or on-board ships or aircraft, additional requirements can be necessary;
- in many countries, additional requirements are specified by the national authorities for fire protection, the national authorities for building regulations, the national health authorities, the national authorities responsible for the protection of labour and similar authorities.
This standard does not apply to
- heating units intended exclusively for industrial purposes;
- heating units intended to be used in locations where special conditions prevail, such as the presence of a corrosive or explosive atmosphere (dust, vapour or gas);
- blankets, pads, clothing and similar flexible heating appliances (IEC 60335-2-17);
- foot warmers and heating mats (IEC 60335-2-81);
- heated carpets and for heating units for room heating installed under removable floor coverings (IEC 60335-2-106);
- flexible sheet heating elements incorporated in other appliances.

Where a response value is of significant purpose for the protection of the user, or surroundings, the value defined in the appropriate equipment standard or as determined by the manufacturer will apply.
• address the integrity of the output signal to the network devices, such as interoperability with other devices unless it has been evaluated as part of the control system.

This standard is also applicable to the functional safety of low complexity safety related systems and controls.
1.1.2 This standard applies to automatic electrical controls, mechanically or electrically operated, responsive to or controlling such characteristics as temperature, pressure, passage of time, humidity, light, electrostatic effects, flow, or liquid level, current, voltage, acceleration, or combinations thereof.
1.1.3 This standard applies to starting relays, which are a specific type of automatic electrical control, intended to switch the starting winding of a motor. Such controls may be built into, or be separate from, the motor.
NOTE Starting relays are tested as voltage sensing or current sensing controls.
1.1.4 This standard applies to manual controls when such are electrically and/or mechanically integral with automatic controls.
NOTE Requirements for manual switches not forming part of an automatic control are contained in IEC 61058 1.
1.1.5 This standard applies to a.c. or d.c. powered controls with a rated voltage not exceeding 690 V a.c. or 600 V d.c.
1.1.6 This standard does not take into account the response value of an automatic action of a control, if such a response value is dependent upon the method of mounting the control in the equipment. Where a response value is of significant purpose for the protection of the user, or surroundings, the value defined in the appropriate household equipment standard or as determined by the manufacturer shall apply.
1.1.7 This standard applies also to controls incorporating electronic devices, requirements for which are contained in Annex H.
1.1.8 This standard applies also to controls using NTC or PTC thermistors, requirements for which are contained in Annex J.
1.1.9 This standard applies to the electrical and functional safety of controls capable of receiving and responding to communications signals, including signals for power billing rate and demand response.
The signals may be transmitted to or received from external units being part of the control (wired), or to and from external units which are not part of the control (wireless) under test.
1.1.10 This standard does not address the integrity of the output signal to the network devices, such as interoperability with other devices unless it has been evaluated as part of the control system.
