Safety of household and similar electrical appliances - Part 76: Particular requirements for insect killers
1 Scope
This clause of GB/T 4706.1-2024 is replaced by the following.
This Standard deals with the safety of electric insect killers for household and similar purposes.
This document is applicable to household and similar electrical insecticides with a rated voltage not more than 250 V.
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 standard.
As far as is practicable, this standard 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
——persons (including children) whose
? physical, sensory or mental capabilities; or
? lack of experience and knowledge
prevents them from using the appliance safely without supervision or instruction;
——children playing with the appliance.
Note 101: Attention is drawn to the fact that
——for appliances intended to be used in vehicles or on board ships or aircraft, additional requirements may be necessary;
——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 standard does not apply to
——appliances that function by emitting vaporized chemicals;
——appliances emitting ultrasonic waves;
——appliances intended to be used in locations where special conditions prevail, such as the presence of a corrosive or explosive atmosphere (dust, vapour or gas).
Note 103: For appliances provided with discharge lamps or tungsten filament lamps, IEC 60598-1 also applies as far as is reasonable.
