Annex R for household appliances - IEC 60335-1
The course covers the requirements for software evaluation that are introduced in the standard IEC 60335-1 Annex R. These include programmable electrical circuits and their software and how they handle fault conditions that may occur.
Purpose
All companies that sell products on the European market must be able to demonstrate that the products comply with the applicable EC directives and regulations. As an importer or manufacturer of home-, household- and commercial products, you must be able to demonstrate that the product meets the EC requirements of the LVD and the Machinery Directive. Home and household products that comply with standard IEC 60335-1 or the applicable product standard (Part 2) are expected to comply with the requirements of the directives. The aim of the course is for the participant to gain an increased understanding of the requirements related to software evaluation within the framework of Annex R of the standard.
Content
We go through the appendix and how to ensure that a programmable electrical circuit and its software detect any safety-critical faults and that they are taken care of in the best way or in the best case completely avoided. Both for safety -related data as well as safety -related segments of software. It can be good to combine the course with the following course "Annex U for household appliances according to IEC 60335-1" which goes through Annex U (remote communication through public networks) within the framework of the standard.
Target group
Managers, project leaders and engineers.
