Foreword
All the technical content of this Part is mandatory.
This Part equivalently adopts (IDT) IEC 60335-2-35:2002 + A1 Household and Similar
Electrical Appliances - Safety - Part 2-35: Particular Requirements for Instantaneous
Water Heaters. This Part shall be cooperatively used with GB 4706.1-2005 Household
and Similar Electrical Appliances - Safety - Part 1: General Requirements.
The “applicable” part in this Part indicates that the corresponding provisions in GB
4706.1-2005 are applicable to this Part; the part that states “replacement” or
“modification” in this Part shall prevail; the part that states “addition” in this Part
indicates that in addition to complying with the corresponding provisions in GB 4706.1-
2005, it shall also comply with the additional provisions in this Part.
For ease of use, this Part makes the following editorial modifications to IEC 60335-2-
35:
a) The phrase “Part 1” is modified into “GB 4706.1-2005”;
b) Decimal point “.” is used to replace comma “,”, which is used as decimal point.
This Part serves as a replacement of GB 4706.11-2004 Household and Similar
Electrical Appliances - Safety - Particular Requirements for Instantaneous Water
Heaters.
In comparison with GB 4706.11-2004, the main differences are as follows:
1) Added in 7.12.1: if it complies with the requirements mentioned in 13.2 and
24.101 for connection by a power cord with a plug, this clause is not
mandatory.
2) Added in 13.2: for bare water heaters that are connected to the power source
by a power cord with a plug, the leakage current test must be repeated. During
the test, the current measurement between the earthing terminal of the
appliance and the neutral conductor is shown in Figure 103. Test in each
position of selector switch; the leakage current shall not exceed 2.75 mA.
3) Added in 24.101: for bare water heaters that are connected to the power
source by a power cord with a non-polar plug, the internal thermal circuit
breaker or other protective devices must be disconnected at all poles.
4) Added in 27.1:
For class I appliances, the enclosure of the heating elements must be
permanently and reliably connected to the earthing terminal, unless:
---The containers that provide metal water inlet and outlet pipes must be
permanently and reliably connected to the earthing terminal, and
---Other easily accessible metal parts of the container that are in contact with
water are permanently and reliably connected to the earthing terminal.
Deleted in 27.1:
For class I appliances, metal containers and other metal parts which are in
contact with the water shall be permanently and reliably connected to the
earthing terminal.
5) Added in 30.2.2: this test is not applicable to electric heating elements that
support bare water heaters, and insulating materials of the connecting parts.
This Part was proposed by China Light Industry Council.
This Part shall be under the jurisdiction of National Technical Committee 46 on
Household Appliances Condenser of Standardization Administration of China.

Household and Similar Electrical Appliances - Safety -
Particular Requirements for Instantaneous Water
Heaters
1 Scope
This clause of GB 4706.1-2005 applies, except as follows:
This Part deals with the safety of electric instantaneous water heaters for household
and similar purposes and intended for heating water below boiling temperature, their
rated voltage being not more than 250 V for single-phase appliances and 480 V for
other appliances.
NOTE 101: Instantaneous water heaters incorporating bare heating elements are within
the scope of this Part.
Appliances not intended for normal household use but which nevertheless may be a
source of danger to the public, such as appliances intended for use in shops, in light
industry and on farms, are within the scope of this Part.
As far as is practicable, this Part deals with the common hazards presented by
appliances which are encountered by all persons in and around the home. However,
in general, it does not consider:
---the use of appliances by young children or infirm persons without supervision;
---playing with the appliance by young children.
NOTE 102: Attention is drawn to the fact that
---for appliances intended to be used in vehicles or on board ships or aircraft,
additional requirements may be necessary;
---in many countries, additional requirements authorities responsible for the
protection of labor and similar authorities;
---in many countries, regulations exist for the installation of equipment
connected to the water mains.
NOTE 103: This Part does not apply to
---appliances for boiling water (GB 4706.19);
---storage water heaters (GB 4706.12);
