Foreword
All the technical contents of this Part of GB 4706 are mandatory.
This Part revised GB 4706.20-2000 Safety of Household and Similar Electrical
Appliances - Particular Requirements for Tumbler Dryers.
This Part equivalently adopted IEC 60335-2-11:2002 Household and Similar Electrical
Appliances - Safety – Part 2: Particular Requirements for Tumble Dryers. This Part is
used in conjunction with GB 4706.1-2005 (equivalently adopts IEC 60335-1:2001,
Amendment 1, namely, Edition 4.1). If the version difference may cause problems in
the use of this Part, the corresponding version of the IEC original text standard shall
be referred to.
The “applicable” part of this Part indicates that the corresponding clauses in GB 4706.1
is applicable to this Part. The part that says “replacement” or “modification” in this Part
shall be subject to this Part. The part that says "addition" means that in addition to

clauses added in this Part.
This Part replaced GB 4706.20-2000.The major differences between this Part and GB
4706.20-2000 are as follows:
1. Change Clause 2 "Definition" into Clause 2 "Normative References"; change
Clause 3 "General Requirements" into Clause 3 "Definition"; change Clause 4
"General Conditions of Tests" into Clause 4 "General Requirements"; change
Clause 5 "Void" into Clause 5 "General Conditions of Tests".
2. In Clause 3, add the definition of tumble dryer; and the definition of exhaust type
tumble dryer is limited to condensing tumble dryer.
3. In Clause 7, add the content of 7.6; and add the requirement for the description
of 7.6 symbols in 7.12; add the requirements of “it is not allowed to emit gas to
the flue of the burning gas or appliances of other materials” in 7.12.1; add the
content of 7.102.
4. Add Clause14 "Transient Overvoltage".
5. In Clause 19, add the requirements of “it is a more unfavourable working condition
for the appliance connected to the water source, if it works without water. The
test is carried out with the water inlet valve closed. This Water inlet valve shall
not be closed after the appliance starts to operate” in 19.1. Add the requirements
of “for the condensing tumble dryer, repeat the test; but 75% of the condenser
air outlet are shall be blocked, then carry out the blocking test of all air outlet” in
19.4. Change the content of 19.102 into "The Test C in IEC 61032 refers to the
Household and Similar Electrical Appliances
– Safety - Particular Requirements for Tumble Dryers
1 Scope
This clause of GB 4706.1 is replaced by the following.
This International Standard deals with the safety of electric tumble dryers intended for
household and similar purposes, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V for
single-phase appliances and 480 V for other appliances.
NOTE 101: This Part applies to the drying function of washing machines having a drying cycle.
Appliances not intended for normal household use but which nevertheless may be a
source of danger to the public, such as appliances intended to be used by laymen in
shops, in light industry and on farms are within the scope of this Part.
NOTE 102: Examples of such appliances are tumble dryers for communal use in blocks of flats
or in launderettes.
As far as is practicable, this standard deals with the common hazards presented by
appliances that are encountered by all persons in and around the home.
However, in general, it does not take into account
– the use of appliances by young children or infirm persons without supervision;
– playing with the appliance by young children.
NOTE 103: 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 the national health authorities,
the national authorities responsible for the protection of labour, the national water supply
authorities and similar authorities.
NOTE 104: This standard does not apply to
– appliances intended exclusively for industrial purposes;
– appliances intended to be used in locations where special conditions prevail, such as the
