The IEC 60335 Annex U certificate of conformity addresses the growing use of software in modern household appliances, as well as the increasing number of internet-connected devices. With the increasing use of programmable electronic circuits in consumer electronics and software playing a crucial role in many household appliances, the certification ensures that these appliances remain safe for consumers to use throughout their lifespan, particularly when connected to public networks via IoT devices.
The IEC 60335-1:2020 safety regulations, released in September 2020, introduced new requirements in Annex U to prevent unauthorized access and ensure the security of remote communication through public networks. This is a requirement for companies exporting household appliances to Europe. TÜV Rheinland offers customized testing and evaluation plans for various products, such as floor-cleaning robots, grass-cutting robots, smart air conditioners, and smart washing machines, to assist companies in meeting the design requirements of Annex U. This helps companies during their product research and development process by providing matching hardware and software solutions that comply with Annex U requirements, reducing certification time and costs, while ensuring product safety and user experience are not compromised. This helps to promote the sustainable growth of the IoT smart ecology.
