FOREWORD
This Indian Standard was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized by
the Electrical Appliances Sectional Committee had been approved by the Electrotechnical Division
Council.
This standard covers general and safety requirement of steam iron to ensure personal safety
against electric shock, safety against the effects of excessive temperature and fire. This standard
does not cover performance requirements which are covered under a separate standard
IS 6290 : 1986 ‘Specification for electric steam iron’.
This standard is to be read in conjunction with IS 302-1 (1979). For the sake of convenience, the
clauses of this standard correspond to those of IS 302-1 (1979). Instead of reproducing full text of
each clause, clauses of IS 302-1 (1979) which are applicable (which means that relevant provisions
of the clause apply) or not applicable and the subclauses or portions thereof which are not
applicable are indicated as under:
i) In case of a clause where it is applicable or not applicable, the wording used is “This clause of
IS 302-1 (1979)” is applicable/not applicable; and
ii) In case of subclause or part thereof “Not applicable”.
Wherever a subclause of IS 302-1 (1979) is to be replaced by a new text, it has been indicated as
under:
‘Replacement — Followed by the new text’.
Any addition to the existing provisions of a subclause of IS 302-1 (1979) has been indicated as
under:
‘Addition — Followed by the text of the additional matter’.
Clauses/Tables which are additional to those of IS 302-1 (1979) are numbered starting from 101
and additional subclauses are numbered with the main clause number followed by 101, 102 etc, for
example, 7.101.
The Indian Standards which are necessary adjunct to this standard are given in Annex AA.
Should however, any deviation exist between IS 302-1 (1979) and this standard, the provisions of
the latter shall apply.
While preparing this standard, assistance has been derived from the following publications issued
by the International Electrotechnical Commission:
IEC Pub 335-2-3 (1992) Safety of household and similar electrical appliances : Particular
requirements for electric irons
This edition 1.2 incorporates Amendment No. 1 (May 2002) and Amendment No. 2 (May 2002).
Side bar indicates modification of the text as the result of incorporation of the amendments.
For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with,
the final value, observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test, shall be rounded off in
accordance with IS 2 : 1960 ‘Rules for rounding off numerical values ( revised )’. The number of
significant places retained in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified
value in this standard.
