Foreword

This Standard was drafted in accordance with the rules in GB/T 1.1-2009.

This Standard serves as a replacement of GB/T 23107-2008 Household and Similar

Electrical Blankets - Methods for Measuring Performance. In comparison with GB/T

23107-2008, the main technical changes are as follows:

---The scope "household and similar electric blankets, wraps and duvets" is added

(see Chapter 1);

---Normative references "GB 4706.8 Household and Similar Electrical Appliances

- Safety - Particular Requirements for Blankets, Pads and Similar Flexible

Heating Appliances" and "GB/T 35758-2017 Household Electrical Appliances -

Measurement of Standby Power" are added (see Chapter 2);

---The terms "wrap", "duvet", "blanket with non-uniform temperature", "blanket with

a high temperature zone" and "blanket with ambient temperature compensation"

are added; the term "multi-temperature electric blanket" is deleted (see Chapter

3);

---The classification by "heated area", "adjustment mode" and "mode of fixing

underblanket on the mattress" is added (see 4.3, 4.6 and 4.9);

---The method of dimensional measurement is modified (see 7.1.1 and 7.1.2; 7.1.1

and 7.1.2 of Version 2008);

---The requirements for "textile composition" are added (see 7.3);

---"Heating time" is modified into "heating time and energy consumption" (see

Chapter 9; Chapter 9 of Version 2008);

---The requirements for "controller settings" are added (see Chapter 12).

This Standard uses the re-drafting method in the modification and adoption of IEC

60299:2014 Household Electric Blankets - Methods for Measuring Performance.

In comparison with IEC 60299:2014, the technical differences and the causes for these

differences are as follows:

---In terms of Normative References, this Standard adjusts the technical

differences to adapt to the technical conditions of China. The adjustment is

intensively reflected in Chapter 2 "Normative References". See the specific

adjustments below:

 GB 4706.8, which equivalently adopts the international standard, is used

to replace IEC 60335-2-17:2012 (see Chapter 6);

3 Terms and Definitions

The following terms and definitions are applicable to this document.

3.1 Blanket

Blanket refers to a basically flat and soft electric heating appliance intended to form

part of the bedding for bed heating.

3.2 Flexible Part

Flexible part refers to the various layers of materials that contain heating element,

temperature controller and all other current-carrying components to form the

permanent outer cover of the appliance.

NOTE: this flexible part may be contained in a detachable outer cover.

3.3 Underblanket

Underblanket refers to an electric blanket used to spread under the person lying on the

bed.

3.4 Overblanket

Overblanket refers to an electric blanket used to cover the person lying on the bed.

3.5 Wrap

Wrap refers to an electric blanket (with a flexible part) that is put on the human body to

keep warm.

3.6 Duvet

Duvet refers to a type of blanket-shaped overblanket that can be put on the person

lying on the bed without adding additional bedding; the heating element can provide

supplementary heat.

3.7 Blanket with Uniform Temperature

Blanket with uniform temperature refers to an electric blanket with a uniform

temperature in the entire heated area.

3.8 Blanket with Non-uniform Temperature

Blanket with non-uniform temperature refers to an electric blanket whose temperature

gradually increases from the upper end to the lower end of the heated area.

3.9 Blanket with a High Temperature Zone

Blanket with a high temperature zone refers to an electric blanket which has a uniform

temperature at the main part and usually a relatively high temperature zone at the

lower end of the heated area.

3.10 Blanket with Ambient Temperature Compensation

Blanket with ambient temperature compensation refers to an electric blanket whose

input power significantly changes in the opposite direction with the change of the

ambient temperature.

3.11 Heated Area
