Overview

EN 60335-2-12:2003/A1:2008 is the CENELEC/IEC amendment (A1) to the European product safety standard for warming plates and similar household electrical appliances. Approved 2008-05-01, this amendment updates EN 60335-2-12:2003 and clarifies scope, safety coverage (including abnormal situations and electromagnetic effects), marking and user instructions, and the relationship between Part 1 and Part 2 requirements. It is intended for household and similar use and may also apply to laymen use in shops, light industry and farms - but excludes professional appliances intended for commercial food processing.

Key topics and requirements

• Scope clarification: Appliances for normal household and similar use are covered; professional/commercial food-processing appliances are excluded.
• Safety coverage: The amendment explicitly covers expected abnormal situations and how electromagnetic phenomena can affect safe operation.
• Part 1 precedence: If a Part 2 standard does not add requirements for hazards dealt with in Part 1, Part 1 applies. The standard is a product-family standard and takes precedence over generic/horizontal standards when overlapping.
• Marking and instructions: Manufacturers must include specific intended-use statements in instructions (e.g., staff kitchens in shops/offices, farmhouses, hotels, B&Bs). If use is to be limited, this must be clearly stated.
• Users and vulnerable persons: The standard recognises persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience who may require supervision or instruction.
• Bibliography and related guidance: References include ISO 13732-1 (hot surface contact ergonomics) and other Part 1 bibliography items as applicable.
• Implementation timeline: CENELEC set national implementation and withdrawal dates for conflicting standards (dop/dow) and recommends transitional adoption periods.

Practical applications and who uses this standard

• Manufacturers and product designers of warming plates, buffet warmers, chafing-stand warmers and similar household hotplate appliances - to design safe products and prepare compliant user manuals and markings.
• Test laboratories and conformity assessors - for type testing, safety verification, and CE/national compliance.
• Regulatory authorities and market surveillance bodies - to assess product compliance and safety claims.
• Technical committees and procurement teams - when specifying product safety requirements for domestic and light-commercial environments.

Related standards

• EN/IEC 60335-1 (Part 1: General requirements) - applies when Part 2 is silent.
• ISO 13732-1 - ergonomics guidance for assessing human contact with hot surfaces (referenced in the amendment).
