CAN-CSA-E60335-2-11:13, Household and similar electrical appliances — Safety — Part 2-11: Particular requirements for tumble dryers
Effective June 1, 2018
Effective Date: June 1, 2018
Impact Statement: A review of all Listing Reports is necessary to determine which products comply with new/revised requirements and which products will require re-evaluation. NOTE: Effective immediately, this revised standard will be exclusively used for evaluation of new products unless the Applicant requests in writing that current requirements be used along with their understanding that their listings will be withdrawn on Effective Date noted above, unless the product is found to comply with new/revised requirements.
Overview of Changes:
Appliances currently Certified to a previous edition of the subject standard (E335-2-11 or E60335-2-11) are required to comply with the requirements of CAN/CSA-E60335-2-11:13 prior to the effective date.
Specific details of new/revised requirements are found in table below.
If the applicable requirements noted in the table are not described in your report(s), these requirements will need to be confirmed as met and added to your report(s) such as markings, instructions, test results, etc. (as required).
The content of this SUN is based on CSA Notice; Appliances No. 35
Client Action Required:
Information – To assist our Engineer with review of your Listing Reports, please submit technical information in response to the new/revised paragraphs noted in the attached or explain why these new/revised requirements do not apply to your product (s).
Current Listings Not Active? – Please immediately identify any current Listing Reports or products that are no longer active and should be removed from our records. We will do this at no charge as long as Intertek is notified in writing prior to the review of your reports.
