This clause of Part 1 is replaced by the following.
This International Standard deals with the safety of the following appliances, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V for single-phase appliances, 480 V for other appliances and 24 V d.c. for appliances when battery operated.

It also deals with compression-type appliances for household and similar use, which use flammable refrigerants.
This standard does not cover features of the construction and operation of those refrigerating appliances which are dealt with in other IEC standards.
Refrigerating appliances not intended for normal household use but which nevertheless may be a source of danger to the public, such as

refrigerating appliances used in farm houses and by clients in hotels, motels and other residential type environments,
refrigerating appliances used in bed and breakfast type environments, and
refrigerating appliances used in catering and similar non-retail applications
are within the scope of this standard.
This standard deals with the reasonably foreseeable hazards presented by appliances and machines that are encountered by all persons. However, in general, it does not take into account
children playing with the appliance,
the use of the refrigerating appliances by very young children,
the use of ice-cream appliances and separated ice-makers by young children and by very young children.
It is recognized that very vulnerable people may have needs beyond the level addressed in this standard.
NOTE 1 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 are specified by national health authorities, the national authorities responsible for the protection of labour, the national water supply authorities and similar authorities.
in some countries, specific legislation covers surfaces and mat rials in contact with food.
NOTE 2 This standard does not apply to
appliances intended to be used in the open air;
appliances designed exclusively for industrial purposes;
appliances intended to be used in locations where special conditions prevail, such as the presence of a corrosive or explosive atmosphere (dust, vapour or gas);
appliances incorporating a battery intended as a power supply for the refrigerating function;
appliances assembled on site by the installer;
appliances with remote motor-compressors;
motor-compressors (IEC 60335-2-34);
commercial dispensing appliances and vending appliances (IEC 60335-2-75);
