IEC 60335-2-6:2024

Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety - Part 2-6: Particular requirements for stationary cooking ranges, hobs, ovens and similar appliances

IEC 60335-2-6:2024 deals with the safety of stationary electric cooking appliances, such as cooking ranges, hobs, and ovens, for household use, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V for single-phase appliances connected between one phase and neutral, and 480 V for other appliances including direct current (DC) supplied appliances and battery-operated appliances.
This standard also includes some requirements for ovens that are intended to be used on board ships.
Examples of appliances that are within the scope of this standard are:
– griddles;
– grills;
– induction hobs;
– induction wok elements;
– pyrolytic self-cleaning ovens;
– steam ovens.
As far as is practicable, this standard deals with the common hazards presented by appliances that are encountered by all persons in and around the home. However, in general, it does not take into account:
– persons (including children) whose physical, sensory or mental capabilities; or lack of experience and knowledge prevents them from using the appliance safely without supervision or instruction;
– children playing with the appliance.
Attention is drawn to the fact that:
– for appliances intended to be used in vehicles or on board ships or aircraft, additional requirements can be necessary;
– in many countries, additional requirements are specified by the national health authorities, the national authorities responsible for the protection of labour, the national water supply authorities and similar authorities.
This standard does not apply to:
– appliances intended for commercial catering;
– appliances intended to be used in locations where special conditions prevail, such as the presence of a corrosive or explosive atmosphere (dust, vapour or gas);
– grills, toasters and similar portable cooking appliances (IEC 60335-2-9);
– microwave ovens (IEC 60335-2-25).
This seventh edition cancels and replaces the sixth edition published in 2014 and Amendment 1:2018. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) alignment with IEC 60335-1:2020;
b) deletion of notes (15.2) and conversion of notes to normative text (Clause 1, 3.1.9.101, 7.103, 11.7, 15.2, 16.2, 22.109, 22.120, 22.132, 22.124, Figure 103);
c) application of test probe 19 (8.1.1, 20.2);
d) alignment of limits on the temperature rise of external accessible surfaces (Clause 11);
e) addition of requirements for automatic regulation systems and remote automatic regulation systems for induction hobs (3.7.103, 3.11.4, 3.11.5, 3.11.101, 7.12, 19.102, 22.40, 22.62, Annex AA);
f) addition of requirements for remote operation of ovens (22.51).
This part 2 is to be used in conjunction with the latest edition of IEC 60335-1 and its amendments unless that edition precludes it; in that case, the latest edition that does not preclude it is used. It was established on the basis of the sixth edition (2020) of that standard.

Appareils électrodomestiques et analogues - Sécurité - Partie 2-6: Exigences particulières pour les cuisinières, les tables de cuisson, les fours et les appareils fixes analogues

L'IEC 60335-2-6:2024 traite de la sécurité des appareils de cuisson électriques fixes, tels que les cuisinières, les tables de cuisson, les fours, à usage domestique, dont la tension assignée est inférieure ou égale à 250 V pour les appareils monophasés raccordés entre un conducteur de phase et le conducteur de neutre, et à 480 V pour les autres appareils, y compris les appareils alimentés en courant continu et les appareils alimentés par batteries.
La présente norme inclut également des exigences relatives aux fours destinés à être utilisés à bord de navires.
La liste suivante répertorie les exemples d'appareils qui relèvent du domaine d'application de la présente norme:
– grils par contact;
– grils;
– tables de cuisson à induction;
– éléments woks à induction;
– fours autonettoyants par pyrolyse;
– fours à vapeur.
Dans la mesure du possible, la présente norme traite des dangers courants que présentent les appareils et auxquels sont exposés tous les individus situés à l'intérieur et autour de l'habitation. Cependant, il ne tient en général pas compte:
– des personnes (y compris des enfants); dont les capacités physiques, sensorielles ou mentales; ou le manque d'expérience et de connaissance les empêchent d'utiliser l'appareil en toute sécurité sans surveillance ou instruction;
– des enfants qui jouent avec l'appareil.
L'attention est attirée sur le fait que:
– pour les appareils destinés à être utilisés dans des véhicules ou à bord de navires ou d'avions, des exigences supplémentaires peuvent être nécessaires;
– dans de nombreux pays, des exigences supplémentaires sont spécifiées par les organismes nationaux de la santé, par les organismes nationaux responsables de la protection des travailleurs, par les organismes nationaux responsables de l'alimentation en eau et par des organismes similaires.
La présente norme ne s'applique pas:
– aux appareils prévus pour la restauration à usage commercial;
– aux appareils destinés à être utilisés dans des locaux qui présentent des conditions particulières, telles que la présence d'une atmosphère corrosive ou explosive (poussière, vapeur ou gaz);
– aux grils, aux grille-pain et aux appareils de cuisson mobiles analogues (IEC 60335-2 9);
– aux fours à micro-ondes (IEC 60335-2-25).
Cette septième édition annule et remplace la sixième édition parue en 2014 et l'Amendement 1:2018. Cette édition constitue une révision technique.
Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente:
a) le texte a été aligné sur l'IEC 60335-1:2020;
b) des notes ont été supprimées (15.2) et d'autres ont été converties en texte normatif (Article 1, 3.1.9.101, 7.103, 11.7, 15.2, 16.2, 22.109, 22.120, 22.132, 22.124, Figure 103);
c) le calibre d'essai 19 est désormais employé (8.1.1, 20.2);
d) les limites d'échauffement des surfaces accessibles extérieures ont été alignées (Article 11);
e) des exigences concernant les systèmes de régulation automatique et les systèmes de régulation automatique à distance pour les tables de cuisson à induction ont été ajoutées (3.7.103, 3.11.4, 3.11.5, 3.11.101, 7.12, 19.102, 22.40, 22.62, Annexe AA);
f) des exigences concernant la commande à distance des fours ont été ajoutées (22.51).
La présente partie 2 doit être utilisée conjointement avec la dernière édition de l'IEC 60335-1 et ses amendements sauf si cette édition l'exclut. Dans ce cas, la dernière édition qui n'exclut pas la présente partie 2 est utilisée. Elle a été établie sur la base de la sixième édition (2020) de cette norme.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as "IEC Publication(s)"). Their
preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) IEC draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a)
patent(s). IEC takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed patent rights in
respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, IEC had received notice of (a) patent(s), which
may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are cautioned that this may not represent
the latest information, which may be obtained from the patent database available at ht

INTRODUCTION
Edition 6 of IEC 60335-1:2020 defines and introduces requirements for a detachable
power supply part of an appliance. In the document, 24.2 prohibits the use of a power
supply in a flexible cord.
QUESTION:
Does Subclause 24.2 prohibit the use of a detachable power supply part?
ANSWER
No, a "detachable power supply part" is a defined term and is not captured by the term
"power supply" as used in Subclause 24.2.
NOTE A detachable power supply part is captured by the defined term when the output of the power supply
part is detachable from the class III construction part of the appliance at:
– the power supply part, or
– the class III construction part of the appliance.
However, the supply cord (if any) does not have to be detachable from the detachable power supply part.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as "IEC Publication(s)"). Their
preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
with the IEC also participate
