FOREWORD
This amendment has been prepared by IEC technical committee 61: Safety of household and
similar electrical appliances.
The text of this amendment is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
61/5320/FDIS 61/5372/RVD
Full information on the voting for the approval of this amendment can be found in the report
on voting indicated in the above table.
The committee has decided that the contents of this amendment and the base publication will
remain unchanged until the stability date indicated on the IEC website under
"http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data related to the specific publication. At this date, the
publication will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,

NOTE The attention of National Committees is drawn to the fact that equipment manufacturers and testing
organizations may need a transitional period following publication of a new, amended or revised IEC publication in
which to make products in accordance with the new requirements and to equip themselves for conducting new or
revised tests.
It is the recommendation of the committee that the content of this publication be adopted for implementation
nationally not earlier than 12 months or later than 36 months from the date of publication.

11 Heating
Add the following new subclause:
11.3 Addition:
Where the external accessible surfaces are suitably flat and access permits, then the test
probe of Figure 103 is used to measure the temperature rises of external accessible
surfaces specified in Table 101. The probe is applied with a force of 4 N ± 1 N to the surface
in such a way that the best possible contact between the probe and the surface is ensured.
The measurement is performed after a contact period of 30 s.
The probe may be held in place using a laboratory stand clamp or similar device. Any
measuring instrument giving the same results as the probe may be used.
11.7 Add the following new text before Note 101:
Steady conditions are considered to exist 60 min after reaching the temperatures defined for
