Such facilities include: theatres, multi-purpose halls, exhibition halls; film, television and radio studios; concert halls, schools, bars, discotheques, open-air stages and other rooms for shows and events.
This document is applicable to all UAS used in the entertainment industry, indoors and outdoors. This document includes UAS that are excluded from the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/1058 and (EU) 2019/945 specifically Article 2, 4 which excludes “UAS intended to be exclusively operated indoors”.
This document deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations or hazardous events relevant to UAS, when they are used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer.
The document specifies the additional hazards and safety requirements for UAS categorized under the “open” category, the “specific” category, and the “certified” category, in particular, those that occur from the specific characteristics of the payload and the environment in the entertainment industry.
The principles in this document are also applicable to UAS based on new technologies or specially designed UAS which are not expressly mentioned here but which nevertheless operate in a similar manner or are meant for similar purposes to the equipment listed above.

Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety - Part 2-53: Particular requirements for sauna heating appliances and infrared cabins
Scope: IEC 60335-2-53:2011 deals with the safety of electric sauna heating appliances and infrared emitting units having a rated power input not exceeding 20 kW, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V for single-phase appliances and 480 V for other appliances. The appliances covered by this standard are intended for use in the home and in public saunas located in blocks of flats, hotels and similar locations. This standard also deals with the safety of electric sauna heating appliances provided with a humidifier unit, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V for single-phase appliances and 480 V for other appliances. The room air is humidified by evaporating or atomising water. This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition published in 2002 and its Amendment 1 (2007). It constitutes a technical revision. The principal changes in this edition as compared with the third edition of IEC 60335-2-53 are as follows:
- the scope is changed to cover infrared cabins;
- additional requirements for recessed sauna heaters are added;
- requirements of electronic interlocks are added (22.108).
The attention of National Committees is drawn to the fact that equipment organizations may need a transitional period following publication of a new, amended or revised IEC publication in which to make products in accordance with the new requirements and to equip themselves for conducting new or revised tests. It is the recommendation of the committee that the content of this publication be adopted for implementation nationally not earlier than 12 months or later than 36 months from the date of publication.
This publication is to be read in conjunction with IEC 60335-1:2010.

Scope: This clause of Part 1 is replaced by the following.
This part of IEC 60335 deals with the safety of electric multifunctional shower cabinets and electric separate multifunctional shower units for household and similar purposes, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V for single-phase appliances and 480 V for other appliances including DC supplied appliances.
Appliances not intended for normal household use but which nevertheless can be a source of danger to the public, such as appliances intended to be used by laymen in hotels, fitness centres and similar locations, are within the scope of this standard.
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
– persons (including children) whose
• physical, sensory or mental capabilities; or
• lack of experience and knowledge prevents them from using the appliance safely without supervision or instruction;
– children playing with the appliance.
Attention is drawn to the fact that
– for appliances intended to be used in vehicles or on board ships or aircraft, additional requirements can be necessary;
– in many countries, additional requirements are specified by the national health authorities, the national water supply authorities, the national authorities responsible for the protection of labour and similar authorities;
– in many countries, mechanical strength, impact resistance and shattering properties of shower enclosures can be covered by national regulations
If an appliance incorporates a part that is within the scope of IEC 60598 series or IEC 62368 series, the part is tested in accordance with the relevant standard as far as reasonable.
This standard does not apply to
– instantaneous water heaters used for showering (IEC 60335-2-35);
– shower-boost pumps (IEC 60335-2-41);

– appliances for storing whipping cream mix in a refrigerated tank and for whipping the cream for the delivery process;
– freezers designed to produce soft ice cream and dispense it directly into containers;
– machines for soft-serve ice cream;
– batch dispensing freezers.
Attention is drawn to the fact that:
– countries can have additional requirements for appliances incorporating pressure vessels;
– 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;
– for appliances or parts of appliances intended to be used outdoors, additional requirements can be necessary.  
This standard does not apply to:
– split systems having a refrigerant charge of flammable refrigerant exceeding 150 g in any refrigerating circuit;
