Overview

EN 60335-2-31:2014/A11:2023 is a critical European standard focused on the safety requirements for household and similar electrical appliances, specifically addressing range hoods and cooking fume extractors. Published by CLC and amended in 2023, this standard builds on the EN 60335-2-31:2014 base, introducing essential updates to enhance safety, marking, construction, and operational guidelines.

This amendment is part of a package alongside A1 and A2 amendments, ensuring harmonized and comprehensive regulatory compliance. It is intended for manufacturers, testing bodies, and regulatory authorities overseeing the safety of electrical kitchen appliances used in homes and similar environments.

Key Topics

• Marking and Instructions: The standard refines safety communications, mandating precise warnings such as "CAUTION: Do not use this appliance with gas hobs" to prevent misuse and associated risks.

• Heating Requirements: It specifies minimum distances between range hoods (or down-draft systems) and hob surfaces to ensure safe operation without hazards associated with heat exposure.

• Moisture Resistance: Testing protocols include controlled pouring of solutions over critical components to verify resistance to moisture infiltration, ensuring durability and electrical safety.

• Abnormal Operation Testing: Appliances must safely operate under abnormal conditions, such as partial hob use without cookware, confirming their stability and risk mitigation strategies.

• Mechanical Safety and Stability: Detailed requirements are provided for parts that can move automatically or manually. Safety tests include force limits, deceleration speeds, and probe tests (EN 61032 probe 32) to prevent entrapment, shear injuries, or other mechanical hazards.

• Construction and Lighting: The standard addresses the use of specific lamp types such as self-shielded tungsten halogen and metal halide lamps, outlining exemptions and construction mandates to ensure safety in appliance design.

• Annexes and Deviations: Includes normative references and national deviations (e.g., Germany’s specific warning requirements about negative pressure when using exhaust hoods with fire appliances) to accommodate localized safety regulations.

Applications

EN 60335-2-31:2014/A11:2023 applies directly to the design, manufacturing, and testing of:

• Range Hoods: Appliances installed above cooking surfaces that extract smoke, odors, and airborne grease.
• Down-Draft Extractors: Integrated ventilation systems that draw fumes downward from the cooktop.
• Cooking Fume Extractors: General devices designed to improve indoor air quality during cooking in residential and similar settings.

Compliance with this standard ensures appliances are safe for consumer use, reducing risks like fire, electric shock, mechanical injury, and operational failure. It informs manufacturers on required markings, installation clearances, mechanical safeguards, environmental resistance, and user instructions, promoting reliable and responsible product innovation.

Related Standards

EN 60335-2-31:2014/A11:2023 is closely linked with other parts of the EN 60335 family, particularly:

• EN 60335-1 (General Safety Requirements for Household Appliances): The foundational standard setting broad safety principles and test methodologies.
• EN 60335-2-31:2014/A1 and A2 Amendments: These amendments complement A11, collectively updating specific clauses and harmonizing requirements.
• IEC 61231 (International Lamp Coding System): Referenced for lamp safety and classification relevant to lighting components in range hoods.

Manufacturers and testers must integrate these harmonized standards to achieve full regulatory compliance and product safety certification across Europe.
