This document specifies the safety requirements for household and similar electric air-cleaning appliances.
This document deals with the safety of electric air-cleaning appliances for household and similar purposes, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V for single-phase appliances and 480 V for other appliances.
Appliances not intended for normal household use but that nevertheless may be a source of danger to the public, such as appliances intended to be used by laymen in shops, in light industry and on farms, are within the scope of this document.
As far as is practicable, this document deals with the common hazards presented by appliances that are encountered by all persons in and around the home. However, in general, it does not take into account

——in many countries additional requirements are specified by the national health authorities, the national authorities responsible for the protection of labour and similar authorities.
Note 102: This document does not apply to
——appliances intended exclusively for industrial purposes;
