1 Scope
This clause of Part 1 is replaced by the following. This International Standard deals with the safety of electrical appliances for heating liquids for household and similar purposes, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V. NOTE 1 01 Some appliances can be used for heating food. NOTE 1 02 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 1 0 l; – milk heaters; – pressure cookers having a rated cooking pressure not exceeding 1 40 kPa and a rated capacity not exceeding 1 0 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 may also be used by laymen in shops, in light industry and on farms, are within the scope of this standard. NOTE 1 03 Examples of such appliances are – glue pots with a water jacket; – livestock feed boilers; – 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. NOTE 1 04 Attention is drawn to the fact that – for appliances intended to be used in vehicles or on board ships or aircraft, additional requirements may 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. NOTE 1 05 This standard does not apply to – frying pans and deep fat fryers (IEC 60335-2-1 3); – 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). NOTE 1 06 Attention is drawn to the fact that in many countries requirements for pressure vessels are applied to pressure cookers.

The quantity of water in slow cookers is maintained above 50 % of their rated capacity. Coffee makers are operated in accordance with their instructions with the water container filled to its rated capacity and bean container, if any, filled with coffee beans. The warming plate and all other energy consuming functions, if any, are switched on. Appliances with a heated surface intended to keep the liquid warm are operated with or without the container, whichever is the more unfavourable. 3.1 .9.1 02 Egg boilers and steam cookers are operated with their containers filled with the maximum quantity of water specified in the instructions. 3.1 .9.1 03 Feeding-bottle heaters are operated with a bottle of heat-resistant glass, round or hexagonal in shape, having a mass between 1 90 g and 200 g and a capacity of approximately 225 ml, unless a particular bottle is specified, in which case that bottle is used. The bottle is filled to approximately its rated capacity of water or 200 ml, whichever is less, and is placed in the feeding-bottle heater. The heater is filled with water to the level specified in the instructions or, in the absence of instructions, to the maximum level. 3.1 .9.1 04 Livestock feed boilers are operated with the lid closed, the container being filled with half its rated capacity of water. 3.1 .9.1 05 Pressure cookers are operated in accordance with the instructions but with the container filled with water to a depth of 25 mm. 3.1 .9.1 06 Rice cookers are operated with the rice container filled with water to the level of maximum rated capacity.
