IEC 60335-2-15:2024 EXV-CMV

This pack contains IEC 60335-2-15:2024 EXV and IEC 60355-2-15:2024 CMV. IEC 60335-2-15:2024 deals with the safety of electrical appliances for heating liquids for household and similar purposes, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V including direct current (DC) supplied appliances and battery-operated appliances. Some appliances in this standard are used for heating food. Examples of appliances that are within the scope of this standard are: – coffee-makers; – cooking pans; – egg boilers; – feeding-bottle heaters; – kettles and other appliances for boiling water, having a rated capacity not exceeding 10 l; – milk heaters; – pressure cookers having a rated cooking pressure not exceeding 140 kPa and a rated capacity not exceeding 10 l; – rice cookers; – slow cookers; – steam cookers; – soy milk makers; – tea maker; – wash boilers; – yoghurt makers. Appliances can have more than one function. Appliances intended for normal household and similar use and that can also be used by laypersons in shops, in light industry and on farms, are within the scope of this standard. Examples of such appliances are glue pots with a water jacket, livestock feed boilers and sterilizers. If the appliance is intended to be used professionally to process food for commercial consumption, the appliance is not considered to be for household and similar use only. 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 authorities responsible for the protection of labour, the national water supply authorities and similar authorities and additional national requirements for pressure vessels are specified for pressure cookers. This standard does not apply to – frying pans and deep fat fryers (IEC 60335-2-13); – storage water heaters (IEC 60335-2-21); – instantaneous water heaters (IEC 60335-2-35); – surface-cleaning appliances employing liquids or steam (IEC 60335-2-54); – portable immersion heaters (IEC 60335-2-74); – commercial dispensing appliances and vending machines (IEC 60335-2-75); – appliances for medical purposes (IEC 60601); – appliances intended exclusively for industrial purposes; – appliances intended to be used in locations where special conditions prevail, such as the presence of a corrosive or explosive atmosphere (dust, vapour or gas); – appliances for high-frequency heating; – pressure sterilizers; – humidifiers for household and similar use (IEC 60335-2-98). This seventh edition cancels and replaces the sixth edition published in 2012, Amendment 1:2016 and Amendment 2:2018. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a) alignment with IEC 60335-1:2020; b) conversion of some notes to normative text (Clause 1, 8.1.2, 11.7.104, 15.2, 15.101); c) introduction of surface temperature limits (3.6.102, 7.1, 7.6, 7.12, 7.14, 7.15, 11.1, 11.3, 11.101); d) addition of instructions for appliances with liquid containers made from polycarbonate material and kettles (7.12); e) introduction of test probe 18 and clarification of the application force for test probes in 20.103; f) improvement of spillage test for coffee-makers with a removable coffee pot and addition of test for appliances with a surface that will support a cup of vessel (15.2); g) specified that kettles are to be tested with NaCl instead of the spillage solution (15.2); h) addition of spillage tests for built-in appliances (15.104, 15.105); i) addition of compliance criteria for impact testing on glass containers of kettles, coffee-makers and tea makers (21.1); j) addition of requirements for the strength of kettle handles (21.101, 21.102); k) clarification of requirements for drain holes (22.6); l) added requirements for remote operation (22.49, 22.51); m) clarification of test method evaluation of appliance couplers for cordless appliances (22.103); n) clarification of requirements for pressure cookers (22.108, 22.108.1, 22.108.2, 22.109); o) revision of requirements for the maximum rotation angle of a frothing or hot water nozzle (22.115, R.2.2.5, R.2.2.9); p) addition of requirements for programmable electronic circuits that limit the number of heating elements and motors able to operate at the same time (22.116, R.2.2.5, R.2.2.9). This part 2 is to be used in conjunction with the latest edition of IEC 60335-1 and its amendments unless that edition precludes it; in that case, the latest edition that does not preclude it is used. It was established on the basis of the sixth edition (2020) of that standard.
