EN 50615:2015/prA2:2026

Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety - Particular requirements for devices for fire prevention and suppression for electric hobs, and gas hobs having automatic burner control systems (cooktops)

This European standard deals with the safety of electric devices used for detection, prevention and suppression of fire originated: - from a cooking process, or - from flammable material left on the hob. NOTE The provisions of this document, duly adapted to the specific installation and conditions of use, may be taken into consideration as guidance also for the protection from fire originated from the use of portable cooking appliances or from grills in the oven cavity. The devices covered by this European Standard may operate by interaction with, or integration of, other devices such as smoke detectors, fire detectors, motion detectors, CO detectors and fire extinguishers that are covered by their specific applicable standards.

Ta evropski standard obravnava varnost električnih naprav, ki se uporabljajo za zaznavanje, preprečevanje in gašenje požara, ki izvira:
- iz kuhalnega procesa, ali
- iz vnetljivega materiala, ki je ostal na kuhalni plošči.
OPOMBA Določbe tega dokumenta, ustrezno prilagojene specifični namestitvi in pogojem uporabe, se lahko upoštevajo kot smernice tudi za zaščito pred požarom, ki izvira iz uporabe prenosnih kuhalnih naprav ali iz žarov v pečici.
Naprave, ki jih pokriva ta evropski standard, lahko delujejo z interakcijo z drugimi napravami ali z njihovo integracijo, kot so detektorji dima, detektorji požara, detektorji gibanja, detektorji CO (ogljikovega monoksida) in gasilni aparati, ki so zajeti v svojih specifičnih veljavnih standardih.

16 Commission. The Standing Committee of the EFTA States subsequently approves these requests for its
17 Member States.
18 For the relationship with EU Legislation, see informative Annex ZZA, which is an integral part of
19 EN 50615:2015/prA1:2026.
20 Secretary’s note: The text contained in the Secretary’s notes will be removed from the standard before
21 publication, as it is provided solely to inform stakeholders about the reasons for introducing the European
22 common modifications.
24 Secretary’s note
25 EN 60335 series of standards covers different typologies of domestic surface cooking appliances, as electric
26 hobs in prEN IEC 60335-2-6:2025+prA11:2026, and gas hobs having electrical connections in
27 EN IEC 60335-2-102:2023+A11:2023. However, the standard EN 50615, which is dedicated to the safe
28 disconnection of electric hobs in case of a hazardous situation only considers the electric ones, disregarding
29 the ones using gas. Gas hobs having automatic burner control systems can also be disconnected in case of a
30 hazardous situation detected by a fire prevention / suppression device covered by EN 50615. The safety of
31 those domestic cooking appliances burning gas is covered by the standards EN 30-1-4 and
32 EN IEC 60335-2-102. Other gas hobs having mechanical controls shall not be considered suitable for the safety
33 devices covered by EN 50615.
34 The objective of this proposal is to align the different technologies for domestic cooking hobs (domestic electric
35 or gas cooktops having electrical connections and automatic burner control systems) with similar safety systems
36 to prevent hazardous situations in case of a foreseeable misuse, by using already existing and recognized fire
37 prevention and / or suppression devices.
38 It is necessary to consider that the safety level for both type of appliances shall be similar in terms of detection
39 or prevention, to avoid a hazardous situation.
40 This standard shall be used in conjunction with
41 EN IEC 60335-2-102
42 EN 30-1-1
43 EN 30-1-4
44 1 Modification to the title
45 Replace the title of the standard with the following:
46 “Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety - Particular requirements for devices for fire prevention
47 and suppression for electric hobs, and gas hobs having automatic burner control systems (cooktops).”
48 2 Modification to Clause 1, “Scope”
49 Addition:
50 This European Amendment A2 supplements or modifies the corresponding clauses of the standards below:
51 — EN IEC 60335-1:2023+A11:2023+prA12:2026 (Part 1)
52 — EN 50615:2015+prA1:2026 (Part 2)
53 The appliance can be combined with a fuel burning function, in which case EN IEC 60335-2-102 is also
54 applicable. All safety aspects related to the use of fuel-burning gas are covered by the relevant product standard
55 for fuel-burning appliances.
56 3 Modification to Clause 2, “Normative references”
57 Addition:
58 EN 30-1-4:2012, Domestic cooking appliances burning gas - Safety - Part 1-4: Appliances having one or more
59 burners with an automatic burner control system
60 Justification for proposal:
61 It’s necessary to include this normative reference for gas hobs, as they cover the general safety of those
62 products.
63 4 Modification to Clause 11, “Heating”
64 11.101 Add the following paragraphs between the second and third paragraph:
65 “Protective devices shall not react while uncovered plates or burners are operated. For electric hobs, the
66 protective device shall not be operated by the heat or radiation arising from the uncovered plates. In the case
67 of gas burning hobs, flame coming from the natural combustion of the uncovered gas burners shall not trigger
68 the fire prevention or suppression system.
69 Protective device shall not react to the flame, heat or radiation arising from the burner, even if the pan is removed
70 from the plate or the burner during a cooking process.”
71 Secretary’s Note
72 The natural process to cook with a gas hob is to have a flame in the burner. The system shall not consider that
73 this is an undesired situation, but a natural process. Therefore, the system shall be able to distinguish a flame
74 used to cook from other possible unexpected fires arising from the cooking process.
