General Information
Relations
Overview
EN 60335-2-16:2003/A11:2018 is a CENELEC (CLC) amendment that specifies safety requirements for electric food waste disposers intended for household and similar use with a rated voltage of not more than 250 V. This Part 2 standard supplements EN 60335-1 and addresses the reasonably foreseeable hazards associated with food waste disposers used by the general public. It does not apply to portable disposers, incinerator-type units, appliances exclusively for industrial/commercial use, or appliances for special locations (e.g., corrosive or explosive atmospheres).
Key Topics
- Scope and exclusions: Clear definition of appliance voltage limits and excluded appliance types (portable, incinerator-type, industrial/commercial, and special-location units).
- Hazard coverage: Focus on foreseeable hazards encountered by the general population; the standard explicitly notes it generally does not account for children playing with appliances or unsupervised very young children.
- Relationship to Part 1: This amendment modifies or supplements clauses of EN 60335-1:2012 and earlier editions of EN 60335-2-16 (2003 with A1:2008 and A2:2012).
- Regulatory linkage: Includes informative Annex ZZ that maps the standard’s clauses to the safety objectives of the EU Low Voltage Directive (2014/35/EU); when cited in the Official Journal, compliance with the normative clauses confers a presumption of conformity with the Directive within the standard’s scope.
- Standardization context: Prepared by CLC/TC 61 “Safety of household and similar electrical appliances” and approved by CENELEC (Amendment A11 approved 2018-04-18).
Applications
- Manufacturers and product designers use the standard to design and verify electrical safety for household food waste disposers rated ≤250 V.
- Testing laboratories and conformity assessors apply the normative clauses to evaluate product safety and produce test reports supporting market entry.
- Compliance and certification teams rely on this standard (together with EN 60335-1) as a harmonized route to demonstrate conformity with the Low Voltage Directive when the standard is cited in the Official Journal.
- Procurement specialists and regulators reference the standard when specifying safety requirements for domestic waste-disposal appliances.
Related Standards
- EN 60335-1:2012 (General requirements for household and similar electrical appliances)
- EN 60335-2-16:2003 and its amendments A1:2008, A2:2012
- Directive 2014/35/EU (Low Voltage Directive)
This standard is essential reading for professionals involved in the design, testing, and regulatory compliance of household food waste disposers seeking to meet recognized European electrical safety requirements.
