determining the current used to establish the size of the terminals and the nominal cross-sectional area of the
supply cord. The diversity factor F is calculated from the following formula, where N is the number of heating
units per phase that can be energized together:

15.2 Replace the existing text by the following:
Cooking ranges and hobs are positioned so that the hob surface is horizontal. A vessel
having the largest diameter shown in Figure 101,that does not exceed the diameter of the
cooking zone, is completely filled with the spillage solution and positioned centrally over the
cooking zone. A further quantity of 0,5 l of the spillage solution is poured steadily into the
vessel over a period of 15 s. The test is carried out on each cooking zone in turn, after
removing any residual spillage solution from the appliance.
For hob elements incorporating a switch or a thermal control, 0,02 l of the spillage solution is
poured over the hob element so that it flows over the switch or control. A vessel is then
placed on the hob element to depress any movable part. If controls are mounted in the hob
surface, 0,5 l of the spillage solution is poured over them in a period of 15 s.
For hobs having ventilating openings in the hob surface, 0,2 l of the spillage solution is
poured steadily through a funnel onto the ventilating openings. The funnel has an outlet
diameter of 8 mm and is positioned vertically with the outlet 200 mm above the hob surface.
The funnel is positioned above the ventilating openings so that the spillage solution enters the
appliance in the most unfavourable way.

– 4 – IEC 60335-2-6:2014/AMD1:2018
 IEC 2018
If the opening is protected, the funnel is positioned so that the spillage solution falls onto the
hob surface as close as possible to the opening.
Care is to be taken to ensure that the spillage solution is not poured over controls located
close to ventilating openings.
For ovens and grills, 0,5 l of the spillage solution is poured over the floor of the oven or
grilling compartment.
For appliances having a drip tray or similar receptacle, the receptacle is filled with the spillage
solution. A further quantity of the spillage solution, equal to 0,01 l per 100 cm of the area of
the top surface of the receptacle, is poured onto the receptacle through openings in the hob
surface. However, the total quantity of spillage solution shall not exceed 3 l.
For hobs having a lid, 0,5 l of the spillage solution is poured uniformly over the closed lid.
When the spillage solution has run off, the surface is dried and a further 0,125 l of the spillage
solution is poured steadily from a height of approximately 50 mm onto the centre of the lid
over a period of 15 s. The lid is then opened as in normal use.
Hobs with controls mounted below the hob surface and built-in ovens that are intended for
use installed under work surfaces shall be subjected to a spillage test with 0,5 l of the spillage
solution. They shall be installed according to the manufacturer’s instructions except that the
front surface of the oven (excluding control knobs, handles) shall align with front edge of a
30 mm thick wooden work surface with a square front edge, see Figure 105. The spillage
solution shall be poured on the work surface at the area which gives the most unfavourable
conditions representing the pouring likely to occur, so that the spillage solution flows down
the front surface of the oven over controls, joints, vents and similar openings. If necessary,
the test is repeated until all different controls or gaps are covered by the spillage
test. The appliance is dried between each test.
The test is performed as follows:
A bottle with a shape similar to the one in Figure 107 and a cap is filled with 0,5 l of the
spillage solution.
The cap of the bottle shall have a hole of 8 mm diameter, placed off-centre according to
Figure 106. The bottle shall also have a hole of 8 mm diameter near the bottle base
(see Figure 107) to equalize the liquid pressure.
Other suitable containers may be used provided the spillage solution amount is poured over
the appliance under test in the same manner.
The hole in the cap of the bottle is put on the horizontal work surface at approximately
80 mm horizontal distance with respect to the front of the oven. The inclination of the bottle
shall be higher than 30º and lower than 45º. The lower part of the bottle hole in the cap shall
be in contact with the work surface, with the hole in the cap placed down closest to the
surface. See Figure 108.
