Overview

EN 60335-2-25:2002/prAA (CLC) is a committee draft for vote that addresses safety aspects specific to microwave ovens, including combination microwave ovens. The amendment focuses on the temperature limit of the outer enclosure of combination appliances and clarifies how limits from related parts should be applied when ovens operate in combination modes. The document is harmonized alongside IEC 60335 series activity (merged into IEC 60335-2-25:2002/A1:2005 and referenced as pr=15957) and is listed under ICS 97.040.20.

This draft is part of the ongoing process to consolidate particular safety requirements for household and similar electrical appliances. As a CDV, it is subject to change and intended for review by national committees and stakeholders.

Key Topics

• Scope and focus: Particular safety requirements for microwave ovens and combination microwave ovens, emphasizing outer-enclosure temperature limits.
• Amendment content: Includes addition AA.11.8 and the explanatory Note 101, which provides guidance for applying related IEC part limits when appliances operate in combination mode.
• Compliance context: Harmonization and cross-references to related IEC parts to ensure consistent application across stationary and portable appliance categories.

Key excerpt (Note 101):

• When combination microwave ovens are operated under the combination mode:
  • Apply the limit values in IEC 60335-2-6 for stationary appliances.
  • Apply the limit values in IEC 60335-2-9 for portable appliances.

This clarification helps manufacturers and test labs determine which temperature limits and test criteria are appropriate depending on the appliance type and intended use.

Applications

• Manufacturers designing combination microwave ovens can use this amendment to align thermal safety and enclosure-temperature controls with the wider IEC 60335 framework.
• Test laboratories and conformity assessment bodies will reference the cross-references (IEC 60335-2-6 and IEC 60335-2-9) to select applicable temperature limits and test procedures for stationary versus portable products.
• Regulatory and standardization committees can use the document during harmonization and national adoption processes to ensure consistent consumer safety outcomes.

Related Standards

• IEC 60335-2-25 (parent standard) - Particular requirements for microwave ovens
• IEC 60335-2-6 - Limits applicable to stationary appliances (referenced by Note 101)
• IEC 60335-2-9 - Limits applicable to portable appliances (referenced by Note 101)

Note: This CDV is subject to change. Recipients are invited to submit comments and notify any relevant patent rights. For authoritative requirements and definitive specifications, consult the finalized standard text and national adoptions.
