Hi Durrer, Both IEC and EN 60335-2-24 were in the harmonised standard list of OJEU before they were removed. Regarding the national standard BS EN 60335-2-24 should be technically identical with EN 60335-2-24. Although it is still valid in BSI website, the HS removal is due to UK objection. It does not make sense using BS EN 60335-2-24 to declare the compliance with LVD.
It is good suggestion to take care this known issue in risk assessment required in LVD. As this issue is being discussed in IEC to EN standard conversion. For the time being, the latest IEC A2 amendment seems a reasonable reference to address the fire risk.

Actually, the nationally adopted versions of this standard are still valid (e.g. BS EN 60335-2-24, https://shop.bsigroup.com/ProductDetail/?pid=000000000030236214). As IEC 60335-2-24 is not listed as an international standard in the OJEU, I do not see any advantage in declaring CE compliance with the IEC version, especially as the objection raised by the UK against the use of highly flammable materials would also apply to fridges compliant with IEC 60335-2-24. As risk analysis (preferably according to CENELEC Guide 32) is a mandatory part of the technical documentation (LVD, Annex III, Module A, 2.), the manufacturer is bound to consider the findings in UK's objection and to avoid the use of such materials even if they are compliant with the IEC/EN standard. Please be aware that the obligations of the manufacturer (LVD, Art. 6) also include the monitoring of products already in the market and to take corrective measures if it is found that a product presents a risk. Regarding a new product, you may still refer to EN 60335-2-24, but it will not give you presumption of conformity. With the CE DoC you declare that your electrical equipment provides "a high level of protection of health and safety of persons, and of domestic animals and property" (LVD, Art. 1), using the standard as a technical means to demonstrate compliance, but considering also risks that are not adequately addressed in the standard.

Just because the EN is withdrawn doesn’t mean the IEC is no longer valid. Knowing now about the plastic issue, maybe you do some other evaluation method for it to ensure it’s safe to be used in that application.

The common compliance route of self-declaration of conformity to LVD using harmonised standard becomes lost. What are other options to demonstrating the compliance with LVD?
