Overview
EN 60335-2-6:2015/A11:2020 is a CENELEC amendment to the European safety standard for household and similar electrical appliances - specifically stationary cooking ranges, hobs, ovens and similar appliances. Amendment A11 (approved 2019-05-27, published April 2020) updates Part 2‑6 of EN 60335‑2‑6 to clarify hazards, modify construction and marking requirements, and add normative references. It supports conformity to the EU Low Voltage Directive (2014/35/EU) when used together with Part 1.
Key Topics
- Scope clarification: the standard addresses common hazards in household environments but does not generally take into account:
- children playing with the appliance,
- use by very young children,
- use by young children without supervision.
- It acknowledges that very vulnerable people may require protections beyond the standard.
- Marking and Instructions (Clause 7.12): updated to state that hobs are not intended to be operated by external timers or separate remote-control systems, with an exception for shut‑off devices covered by EN 50615.
- Construction (Clause 22.40): reinforces that remote control of hobs is not allowed, except for switching off hob elements by devices compliant with EN 50615 in hazardous situations.
- Mechanical Strength (Clause 21.101): procedural clarification - measure initial shelf inclination with the shelf fully inserted and without mass; inclination difference shall not exceed 6°.
- Normative references: addition of EN 50615:2015 (fire prevention/suppression devices for electric hobs) and updates to referenced environmental and thermocouple standards (e.g., IEC/EN 60068 series, IEC 60584‑1).
- Regulatory linkage: Annex ZZA provides the correspondence between this standard and the safety objectives of the Low Voltage Directive, offering a route to presumption of conformity once cited in the OJ.
Applications
- Product design and engineering for stoves, cooktops, ovens, ensuring safe construction and user information.
- Compliance and certification: used by manufacturers, testing laboratories, notified bodies and conformity assessors for CE marking and market access in Europe.

La norme SIST EN 60335-2-6:2015/A11:2020 offre une approche exhaustive et rigoureuse de la sécurité des appareils électroménagers et similaires, plus particulièrement conçue pour les cuisinières fixes, les plaques de cuisson, les fours et des appareils similaires. Le document traite des dangers courants que ces appareils peuvent présenter dans un environnement domestique, garantissant ainsi une protection adéquate pour les utilisateurs. Parmi les points forts de cette norme, il convient de souligner sa capacité à cibler les risques spécifiques associés à l'utilisation de ces appareils par une population générale. En effet, la norme aborde les préoccupations de sécurité qui émergent lors de l'interaction avec les appareils de cuisson dans des contextes domestiques. Cependant, l'une de ses limites reconnues est qu'elle n'intègre pas certains scénarios d'utilisation, dont ceux impliquant des enfants, qu'ils soient en train de jouer avec l'appareil ou utilisés sans supervision. Cette exclusion est importante à noter, car elle souligne la nécessité d'une vigilance accrue lors de l'utilisation des cuisinières et des fours dans des foyers où des enfants sont présents. De plus, la norme admet que des personnes particulièrement vulnérables peuvent avoir des besoins qui dépassent largement les attentes de sécurité établies dans ce document, ce qui lui confère une dimension de responsabilité sociale. La norme SIST EN 60335-2-6:2015/A11:2020 est donc pertinente dans le contexte de la sécurité des appareils de cuisine modernes, tout en laissant percevoir la nécessité d'une évaluation des risques plus approfondie pour certains groupes. Sa capacité à établir des exigences techniques précises tout en reconnaissant des limites dans son application pratique en fait un document essentiel pour les fabricants et les utilisateurs d'appareils électroménagers.
