Overview

EN IEC 60335-2-14:2023/A11:2023 is a CENELEC European amendment to the safety standard for household and similar electrical kitchen machines (rated voltage ≤ 250 V). This Amendment A11 (approved 2023‑11‑22) updates Part 2‑14 of the EN IEC 60335 series with additional and modified requirements that supplement EN IEC 60335-2-14:2023 and Part 1 (EN IEC 60335‑1). The amendment targets common hazards for appliances such as blenders, food processors, juicers, grinders and similar small kitchen appliances.

Key topics and technical requirements

• Scope and user considerations
  • Clarifies which appliances and user groups (children, very young users, vulnerable persons) are or are not covered for safe use without supervision.
• Marking and instructions
  • New instruction requirements warning about unintended use and child safety.
  • Lid/guard marking requirement for blenders, slicers and centrifugal juicers (symbol ISO 7000‑0790).
• Mechanical safety and stability
  • Enhanced provisions for lid interlocks and guards: lids that comply with specific test specs or require two separate movements to open are accepted; lids must prevent accidental operation.
  • Specific tests and exclusions for test probes (probe dimensions and where probes are not applied to certain appliances or feed openings).
  • Blender jar dimensions and clearances: examples include maximum jar opening cross-section (125 mm) and minimum distance from upper jar edge to blade edge (125 mm).
• Operational control requirements
  • Actuator protection: recessed/guarded actuating members; actuator test with a 40 mm diameter rod at ≤5 N or 0.2 N·m torque for rotating types.
  • Two-step start logic where single-action start would be unsafe, with timing rules for reactivation (e.g., 30 s, 10 s thresholds).
• Heating and temperature limits
  • Continuous temperature-rise monitoring during tests; Table Z101 sets maximum temperature rises for external enclosures (e.g., bare metal 45 K, coated metal 55 K, glass/ceramic 60 K, plastic >0.3 mm 65 K).
• Mechanical strength and drop tests
  • Hand-held appliances undergo drop tests from 700 mm onto hardwood; appliances must retain compliance with Clauses 8 and 29 after three drops.

Applications and who uses it

• Appliance manufacturers (design & compliance teams): to design safe kitchen machines and ensure CE marking readiness.
• Test laboratories and certification bodies: to perform conformity tests and apply amendment A11 test specifications.
• Product safety engineers and R&D: to implement lid interlocks, control logic and temperature/ mechanical safeguards.
• Regulators and standards committees: to align national rules and withdraw conflicting standards per CENELEC timelines.

Related standards

• EN IEC 60335-1 (Part 1 - general requirements) - referenced and supplemented
• EN IEC 60335-2-14:2023 and EN IEC 60335-2-14:2023/A1:2023 - base Part 2 documents modified by A11

Keywords: EN IEC 60335-2-14, kitchen machines safety, household appliances safety, CENELEC Amendment A11, blender safety, lid interlock, temperature-rise limits.
