2022年2月7日，新加坡企业发展局 (ESG) 发布公告：消费品安全办公室 (CPSO) 将对《消费者保护 (安全要求) 条例》(CPSR) 中饮水机的检测与认证

要求进行澄清。

1、饮水机检测与认证要求：

可在1个大气压下将水加热到100℃的热水饮水机，应按照IEC 60335-2-15进行检测；

不可在1个大气压下将水加热到100℃的热水饮水机，应按照IEC 60335-2-21和/或IEC 60335-2-35进行检测；

如果饮水机配有用于分配冷水的压缩机，则须按照IEC 60335-2-24进行检测。

2、饮水机的注册：

现有已注册的饮水机：

-对于使用不适用的IEC标准进行注册的热水饮水机，宽限期推迟至2023年3月1日。

-自2023年3月1日起，所有已注册热水饮水机只能使用相应的IEC标准进行更新，其中：可在1个大气压下将水加热到100℃的热水饮水机，仅在提供有效的IEC 60335-2-15检测报告后方可更新；不可在1个大气压下将水加热到100℃的热水饮水机，仅在提供有效的IEC 60335-2-21和/或IEC 60335-2-35检测报告后方可更新。

新注册的饮水机：

-可在1个大气压下将水加热到100℃的热水饮水机，应按照IEC 60335-2-15进行检测；

-不可在1个大气压下将水加热到100℃的热水饮水机，应按照IEC 60335-2-21和/或IEC 60335-2-35进行检测。

This circular is to provide clarification regarding the testing and certification requirements for water dispensers under the Consumer Protection (Safety Requirements) Regulations (CPSR). 

A. Existing requirements in the CPSR information booklet 

I. The requirements for testing and certification of water dispensers under the CPSR as stated in our information booklet are as follows: a. Hot water dispenser which has below boiling temperature shall be tested to either IEC 60335-2-21 (storage type) or IEC 60335-2-35 (instantaneous type). 

b. Testing to IEC 60335-2-24 shall be required if the water dispenser is incorporated with compressor for dispensing cold water. 

B. Clarifications regarding the existing requirements 

I. The Consumer Product Safety Office (CPSO) is aware that there are misinterpretations regarding these requirements, and would like to clarify on the interpretations, in line with decisions laid down by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). 

II. IEC’s Committee of Testing Laboratories (CTL) decision sheet DSH 579 provides the following clarification on the use of IEC standards for testing and certification of water dispensers: a. IEC 60335-2-15 shall apply if hot water boils 

b. IEC 60335-2-21 shall apply if hot water does not boil 

c. IEC 60335-2-35 shall apply if the water heater is instantaneous, and the water does not boil 

III. IEC Technical Committee 61 (TC 61) has clarified in July 2021 that ‘water boiling’ as mentioned in DSH 579 refers to water reaching 100 °C at 1 atmosphere 

The Consumer Product Safety Office (CPSO) safeguards consumer safety by ensuring consumer products supplied in Singapore are safe for use and comply with applicable safety standards. The CPSO is an office under Enterprise Singapore. Visit www.consumerproductsafety.gov.sg for more information.

IV. The requirements for testing and certification of water dispensers under the CPSR should therefore be interpreted as follows: a. Hot water dispensers which can heat water to 100 °C at 1 atmosphere shall be tested to IEC 60335-2-15 

b. Hot water dispensers which cannot heat water to 100 °C at 1 atmosphere shall be tested to IEC 60335-2-21 and/or IEC 60335-2-35 

c. In addition, testing to IEC 60335-2-24 shall be required if the water dispenser is incorporated with compressor for dispensing cold water. 

C. Existing registered water dispensers 

I. A grace period will be extended until 1st March 2023 for renewal of hot water dispensers that were registered using a non-applicable IEC standard 

II. From 1st March 2023 onwards, all currently registered hot water dispensers may only be renewed using the appropriate IEC standard. 

a. Hot water dispensers which can heat water to 100 °C at 1 atmosphere may only be renewed upon providing valid IEC 60335-2-15 test report 

b. Hot water dispensers which cannot heat water to 100 °C at 1 atmosphere may only be renewed upon providing valid IEC 60335-2-21 and/or IEC 60335-2-35 test report 

D. New registrations of water dispensers 

I. Please be reminded that the following requirements shall continue to be in effect for all new registrations: 

a. Hot water dispensers which can heat water to 100 °C at 1 atmosphere shall be tested to IEC 60335-2-15. 

b. Hot water dispensers which cannot heat water to 100 °C at 1 atmosphere shall be tested to IEC 60335-2-21 and/or IEC 60335-2-35.
