EN IEC 60335-2-13:2026/A11:2026 is a CENELEC amendment for the safety of deep fat fryers, frying pans, woks and similar appliances that cook with oil for household and similar use. It applies to appliances with a rated voltage not more than 250 V, and to deep fat fryers with a recommended maximum oil quantity not exceeding 5 l. The amendment is used with the Part 1 general requirements and the Part 2-13 base standard, so it is relevant to manufacturers, test laboratories, compliance teams and buyers of small kitchen appliances.

What does EN IEC 60335-2-13:2026/A11:2026 specify?

EN IEC 60335-2-13:2026/A11:2026 specifies European safety changes for electric cooking appliances that use oil, especially deep fat fryers, frying pans and woks. It updates selected clauses of the base standard rather than standing alone, so users need it together with Part 1 and the Part 2-13 document it amends.

The amendment follows the safety structure of the household-appliance series and adjusts the wording for household and similar environments, markings, instructions, heating checks, construction rules and EU-law annexes. In practice, that means it affects how the appliance is designed, labelled, tested and documented.

Annex	What it covers
Annex ZA	Normative references to international publications and their European publications
Annex ZE	Specific additional requirements for appliances and machines intended for commercial use
Annex ZZA	Relationship with the Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU
Annex ZZB	Relationship with Directive 2006/42/EC
Annex ZZC	Relationship with Directive 2014/53/EU

What are the key requirements of EN IEC 60335-2-13:2026/A11:2026?

EN IEC 60335-2-13:2026/A11:2026 focuses on a few practical safety points: who the appliance is for, how it is marked, how hot surfaces are handled, and what controls are allowed. These are the clauses that most directly affect product design and conformity assessment.

Scope and intended use

Clause 1 keeps the focus on household and similar use, including appliances for typical housekeeping functions used by non-expert users in settings such as shops, farm houses, hotels, motels and bed and breakfast type environments. That matters because the standard is written for realistic consumer-style use, not only for private homes.

The clause also uses the standard's broad view of foreseeable hazards and notes that people with disabilities may have needs beyond the level addressed in the standard. For a manufacturer, this guides the risk assessment and the user instructions.

Markings and instructions

Clause 7 requires the hot-surface warning to be placed on the surface with the highest temperature and to remain visible during normal operation. That helps users see the warning where the risk is greatest.

The instructions must cover child safety, supervision, keeping the appliance and cord out of reach of children under 8, and no cleaning or user maintenance by children. They also must tell the user to place cooking appliances stably and position handles to avoid spillage of hot liquids. The amendment also sets minimum heights for symbol IEC 60417-5041 and for the warning text "CAUTION. Hot surface," which matters for label legibility.

Heating and construction

Clause 11 treats the vessel as a hot functional surface in the heating assessment, and it changes the underside check to use probe 41 of EN 61032:1998. That changes the test setup a laboratory uses to judge access to hot parts.

Clause 22 forbids remote operation and delayed start timers for deep fat fryers, frying pans and similar appliances. In practice, this removes control functions that could leave hot oil unattended or start heating unexpectedly.

Clause 31 is not applied in this amendment, so rusting resistance is not part of the safety evaluation here.

What terms does EN IEC 60335-2-13:2026/A11:2026 define?

• Household environment - Typical housekeeping settings and similar places where non-expert users may operate the appliance, including homes and home-like locations such as hotels or bed and breakfast environments.
• Part 1 - EN IEC 60335-1:2023+A11:2023, the general safety standard that provides the base requirements for this series.
• IEC 60417 - The international symbol catalogue used for equipment markings; this amendment uses symbol IEC 60417-5041.
• Probe 41 - The test probe from EN 61032:1998 used to check access at the underside of the appliance.
• LVD - The Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU, which is linked to the standard in Annex ZZA.
• RED - The Radio Equipment Directive 2014/53/EU, which is linked to the standard in Annex ZZC.
• CLC/TC 61 - The CENELEC technical committee responsible for household and similar electrical appliances safety.

Who uses EN IEC 60335-2-13:2026/A11:2026?

Manufacturers of deep fat fryers, frying pans, woks and similar oil-cooking appliances use EN IEC 60335-2-13:2026/A11:2026 to design products and prepare technical documentation. Test laboratories use it to set up heating, marking and construction checks. Certification bodies, conformity assessment teams and regulatory specialists use it to judge whether a product matches the European safety wording. Buyers and quality managers use it to compare appliances and to confirm that the expected safety clauses are covered.

What changed in EN IEC 60335-2-13:2026/A11:2026 from the previous edition?

EN IEC 60335-2-13:2026/A11:2026 supersedes EN 60335-2-13:2010+A11:2012+A1:2019.

The amendment adds or changes these points:

• It revises the Scope wording for household and similar use.
• It adds EN IEC 60335-1:2023 to the normative references.
• It strengthens the marking and instruction rules for hot surfaces, child safety and stable positioning.
• It changes the minimum text height for the hot-surface symbol and warning.
• It updates the heating test wording, including the treatment of the vessel as a hot functional surface and the use of probe 41.
• It forbids remote operation and delayed start timers.
• It marks Clause 31 as not applicable and updates the annexes and bibliography references.

Which standards are used with EN IEC 60335-2-13:2026/A11:2026?

EN IEC 60335-2-13:2026/A11:2026 is used with the following referenced and companion standards:

• EN IEC 60335-1:2023+A11:2023 - the general requirements for household and similar electrical appliances.
• EN IEC 60335-2-13:2024 - the base Part 2 document that this amendment modifies.
• IEC 60320-1:2021 - appliance couplers for household and similar general purposes.
• IEC 60417:2002 - graphical symbols for use on equipment.
• IEC 60584-1 - thermocouples, including EMF specifications and tolerances.
• EN 61032:1998 - the probe standard used in the heating test.

What does the EN IEC 60335-2-13:2026/A11:2026 document contain?

The document contains clause-by-clause amendments to the base safety standard, including changes to the Scope, normative references, markings and instructions, heating, construction and resistance to rusting. It also contains the EU-law correspondence tables in Annex ZZA and Annex ZZC, which link the normative clauses to the safety objectives of the Low Voltage Directive and the essential requirements of the Radio Equipment Directive.

For testing and conformity work, the most useful technical content is the revised warning language, the label-size rule, the heating test detail for the vessel and underside, and the construction rule that bans remote operation and delayed start timers. The annexes and bibliography updates support legal alignment and reference checking.
