Overview

EN 60335-2-78:2003/A1:2008 is the CENELEC amendment (A1) to the European safety standard for household and similar electrical appliances - Part 2-78: Particular requirements for outdoor barbecues. It aligns with IEC 60335-2-78:2002/A1:2008 and was approved by CENELEC on 2008-05-01. The amendment supplements and modifies the 2003 Part 2‑78 clauses and clarifies scope, applicability and safety considerations specific to electrically powered outdoor barbecue appliances.

Key topics and requirements

• Scope and applicability
  • Particular safety rules for electrically powered outdoor barbecue appliances, as a product family standard.
  • When the Part 2 standard does not add requirements for hazards already covered in Part 1, Part 1 applies.
• Hazard coverage
  • Includes both normal and abnormal situations that can be expected in practice.
  • Takes into account how electromagnetic phenomena can affect safe operation.
• User safety considerations
  • Explicit recognition of vulnerable users: children and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge.
• Thermal safety
  • Bibliography and referenced standards include ISO 13732-1 (methods for assessment of human responses to contact with hot surfaces), indicating attention to hot-surface risk assessment and surface-temperature considerations.
• Standards status and implementation
  • The amendment was issued by CENELEC and national electrotechnical committees are required to adopt it without alteration. Implementation and withdrawal dates were specified for national adoption and for removal of conflicting standards.

Practical applications - who uses this standard

• Manufacturers and product designers of electrically powered outdoor barbecues - to design compliant, safe products for the European market.
• Test laboratories and conformity assessors - to develop test programs and verify compliance with Part 2‑78 requirements (in conjunction with Part 1).
• Regulators and market surveillance authorities - to assess product safety and decide on enforcement actions.
• Safety engineers and product compliance managers - for risk assessments covering abnormal conditions, electromagnetic effects and vulnerable user protection.
• Standards committees and technical experts - for maintenance, interpretation and future revisions.

Related standards

• EN 60335-1 (Household and similar electrical appliances - General requirements) - applies where Part 2 does not add requirements.
• ISO 13732-1 - referenced for methods assessing human response to hot surfaces.

Keywords: EN 60335-2-78, outdoor barbecue safety, IEC 60335-2-78, electrical appliance safety, ISO 13732-1, CENELEC, hot surfaces, electromagnetic phenomena.
