Overview
This document deals with the electrical safety of portable heated carpets. This document recognizes the internationally accepted level of protection against hazards, such as electrical, mechanical, and thermal hazards, as well as fire and radiation hazards posed by electrical equipment properly operated in accordance with the instructions for use. It also covers unusual situations that may nevertheless occur in practice and takes the ways in which electromagnetic phenomena can impact the safe operation of appliances into consideration.

These are heating units to heat the room in which they are located and that are intended to be installed directly under materials used as a removable floor covering such as carpet, cushion vinyl, or loose laid laminate.
