6. Description of content:  IEC 60335 -2-95:2011+A1:2015+A2:2017 deals with the safety 
of electric drives for garage doors for residential use that open and close in a vertical 
direction, the rated vo ltage of the drives being not more than 250 V for single -phase 
appliances and 480 V for other appliances. It also covers the hazards associated with the 
movement of these electrically driven garage doors.  
This standard also applies to entrapment protectio n devices for use with drives. It does 
not cover hazards related to the mechanisms of the door itself. This standard does not 
apply to drives: - for rolling shutters, awnings, blinds and similar equipment (IEC 60335 -
2-97); - for garage doors for use by mor e than one household (IEC 60335 -2-103); - for 
commercial and industrial purposes or - for drives intended to be used in locations where 
special conditions prevail, such as the presence of a corrosive or explosive atmosphere

  This thi rd edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2002 including its 
Amendment 1 (2004) and its Amendment 2 (2008). It constitutes a technical revision. 
The principal changes in this edition as compared with the second edition of IEC 60335 -
2-95 are as follows (minor changes are not listed): Some notes have been converted to 
normative text (11.7, 20.2, 20.101); A requirement to fit an entrapment protection device 
has been added (22.109). The attention of National Committees is drawn to the fact  that 
equipment manufacturers and testing organizations may need a transitional period 
following publication of a new, amended or revised IEC publication in which to make 
products in accordance with the new requirements and to equip themselves for conducti ng 
new or revised tests. It is the recommendation of the committee that the content of this 
publication be adopted for implementation nationally not earlier than 12 months or later 
than 36 months from the date of publication.  
This publication is to be rea d in conjunction with IEC 60335 -1:2010. This consolidated 
version consists of the third edition (2011), its amendment 1 (2015) and its amendment 
2 (2017). Therefore, no need to order amendment in addition to this publication
