Overview

FprEN IEC 60335-2-13:2025/FprAA:2025 is a European standard developed by CLC addressing the safety of household and similar electrical appliances. This specific part focuses on deep fat fryers, frying pans, woks, and other kitchen appliances using oil for cooking, with a maximum oil quantity of 5 liters and a rated voltage not exceeding 250 V. The standard is intended for appliances meant for domestic use and similar settings, covering essential safety requirements to protect users from hazards during normal operation.

Key Topics

• Scope of Application: Applies to electric appliances intended for frying or cooking with oil, including deep fat fryers, woks, and frying pans. Covers both household and similar environments such as shops, hotels, and bed-and-breakfast type accommodations.
• User Safety: Addresses hazards to all persons, explicitly considering the needs of individuals with reduced capabilities, such as children (with specific instructions on supervision and maintenance restrictions).
• Markings and Instructions: Specifies requirements for product labeling, including placement and size of warnings such as "CAUTION. Hot surface", and use of international safety symbols.
• Construction and Operation: Sets out prohibited features for safety reasons, such as remote operation or delayed start timers, addressing requirements related to EU directives like the Low Voltage Directive (2014/35/EU).
• Foreseeable Hazards: Focuses on mitigating risks such as hot oil spillage and contact with hot surfaces through requirements on appliance stability, handle placement, and visible warnings during operation.
• Compliance and Harmonization: Aligns with broader safety objectives and harmonized European requirements, referencing related standards (e.g., EN IEC 60335-1:2023 and others).

Applications

The practical value of FprEN IEC 60335-2-13:2025/FprAA:2025 lies in its use by:

• Manufacturers: Ensuring new deep fat fryers, frying pans, and similar appliances meet current European safety requirements before being placed on the market.
• Certification Bodies: Assessing conformity for CE marking under the Low Voltage Directive and Radio Equipment Directive, supporting market access in EU and EFTA countries.
• Importers and Distributors: Verifying that appliances for household and similar uses comply with EU safety standards, reducing liability and increasing consumer confidence.
• Standardization Organizations: Providing a basis for national standards harmonization across Europe.
• End Users: Enhancing consumer safety when using small kitchen appliances that operate with hot oil, by ensuring clear warnings and appropriate product instructions.

• EN IEC 60335-2-37 - Safety requirements for commercial electric fryers.
• EN IEC 60335-2-39 - Particular requirements for commercial electric multi-purpose cooking pans.

Conclusion

FprEN IEC 60335-2-13:2025/FprAA:2025 is a crucial standard ensuring the safety of household kitchen appliances used for frying and cooking with oil. By addressing foreseeable hazards, labeling, and clear instructions, it helps manufacturers, suppliers, and users maintain safe practices while supporting regulatory compliance across Europe. This standard also enables presumption of conformity with key European directives, facilitating seamless market entry and protecting end-users. For anyone involved in the production, certification, or operation of deep fat fryers and similar appliances, adherence to this standard is essential.
