Standards Development
This clause of Part 1 is replaced by the following.
This part of IEC 60335 deals with the safety of electric fishing machines by means of which water may be electrified for the purpose of catching fish or for providing barriers to all animals living in water.
The rated voltage of electric fishing machines is not more than 250 V for single phase machines and 480 V for other machines including direct current (DC) supplied machines and those that are battery-operated appliances. However, the rated voltage of electric fishing machines for permanent connection to fixed wiring is not more than 1 000 V.
Examples of direct current (DC) supplied appliances are those supplied by:
– an automotive starting, lighting and ignition (SLI) battery connected externally to the appliance by a detachable cord or leads;
– a category 6 battery (types 6AS6P, 6AS6S, 6PS6P, 6PS6S from IEC 60086-2) connected externally to the appliance by a detachable cord or leads;
– a solar panel (incorporated or separate);
– a wind generator (incorporated or separate);
– a water generator (separate).
Electric fishing machines are appliances for scientific and commercial use.
Additional requirements for boat mounted electric fishing machines are given in normative Annex AA.
Examples of electric fishing machines coming within the scope of this standard are:
– mains-operated electric fishing machines which include those supplied from portable or stationary generator sets;
– battery-operated electric fishing machines.
Attention is drawn to the fact that
– for appliances intended to be used on board ships or boats, additional requirements can be necessary;
– in many countries, additional requirements are specified by the national health authorities, the national authorities responsible for the protection of labour, the national water supply authorities and similar authorities.
This standard does not apply to
– electric fence energizers (IEC 60335-2-76);
– electric animal stunning equipment (IEC 60335-2-87);
– shark deterrent devices that are carried by the user.
