NOTE 3 This mode may be simulated by disconnecting the electronic power switching device gate terminal and
connecting an external adjustable power supply between the gate and source terminal of the electronic power

component cease to operate, whichever occurs first. This value of supply voltage is recorded.
The appliance is supplied at rated voltage and operated under normal operation. The
voltage is then reduced to a value of approximately 10 % less than the recorded voltage. It is
held at this value for approximately 60 s and then increased to rated voltage.
The appliance shall then continue to operate normally from the same point in its operating
cycle at which the voltage decrease occurred, or a manual operation shall be required to

- if becoming operational, not result in a dangerous malfunction during or after the tests of
19.11.4.
22 Construction
22.2 Replace the second paragraph of the requirement by the following:
For single-phase, permanently connected class 0I appliances and class I appliances,
single-pole switches and single-pole protective devices that disconnect tubular sheathed or
embedded heating elements from the supply mains shall be connected to the phase
conductor.
NOTE OF THE SECRETARY: Although there was agreement to delete “single-pole switches”
in the discussions of this subclause, there is concern that such deletion could result in a
reduction in safety for permanently connected appliances. Given a situation where a hob
element has a ground fault that shorts out only a portion of the element resulting in an unsafe
operating condition, with the switch located in the non-live phase, there would be no way to
readily disconnect the element. In the Brisbane discussion, it was stated as part of the
rationale to delete single-pole switches that the switch location should not be more onerous
than for a cord connected appliance. However, for a cord connected appliance, the cord can
always be disconnected from the supply by pulling the plug, but one cannot accomplish the
same result for a permanently connected appliance. One must rely on the proper location of
the single-pole switch to safely disconnect such an appliance.
Therefore, “single-pole switches” have been reinstated in the subclause as they originally
appeared in standard. This ensures that a properly located switch can be relied upon to
provide some measure of safety.
National committees are invited to comment if they disagree.
22.5 In the requirement, after “charged capacitors” add “having a rated capacitance
exceeding 0,1µF”.
Delete the note.
22.21 Add the following to the requirement.
This requirement does not apply to magnesium oxide and mineral ceramic fibres used for the
electrical insulation of heating elements.
Delete Note 2.
22.35 Replace the first paragraph of the requirement by the following:
For constructions other than those of class II and class III, handles, levers and knobs that
are held or actuated in normal use shall not become live in the event of a failure of basic
insulation. If these handles, levers and knobs are of metal and if their shafts or fixings are
likely to become live in the event of a failure of basic insulation, they shall be adequately
covered by insulating material or their accessible parts shall be separated from their shafts
or fixings by supplementary insulation.
22.40 Add the following:

remote operation shall be fitted with a switch for stopping the operation of the appliance. The
actuating member of this switch shall be easily vi
