EN 60335-1 is the easiest of the appliance/equipment safety standards to use, IMO. However, if you are already familiar with EN 61010-1 it may not offer you any benefits (other than the fact that 60335 is listed in the OJ under 98/37/EC whereas 61010 is not, which raises some 'interesting' questions about the use of EN 61010 at all in these circumstances...).
EN 60204-1 is aimed primarily at panel builders making up control systems from discrete modules (PSU's, motor drives, MCB's, etc) and doesn't work very well for very simple machinery. Nick.
