Overview

kSIST FprEN IEC 60335-2-74:2026/kFprAA:2026 is a draft European Standard developed by SIST, focusing on the safety of portable electric immersion heaters used in households and similar settings. Specified for appliances with a rated voltage not exceeding 250 V, the standard encompasses immersion heaters intended not only for domestic use but also for applications in shops, light industry, and on farms. The document outlines particular safety requirements to minimize risks for users, including children, people with disabilities, and domestic animals.

Key Topics

• Scope of Application

  • Applies to portable immersion heaters intended for household and similar purposes.
  • Encompasses appliances used by non-professionals in non-domestic environments such as shops and light industrial locations.

• Safety Requirements

  • Addresses reasonably foreseeable hazards during intended use by all users and domestic animals in or around the home.
  • Includes clear marking and instructions, reinforcing safe use by individuals with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities.
  • Specifies that:
    • The appliance cannot be used by children.
    • The heater should be kept out of reach of domestic animals and children.
    • Cleaning and user maintenance must not be performed by children.

• Documentation and User Instructions

  • Mandates detailed instructions to ensure safe operation.
  • Ensures conformity with general electrical safety principles as defined in EN IEC 60335-1:2023 and its amendments.

• Normative References

  • The standard incorporates and references EN IEC 60335-1:2023, which outlines general safety requirements for electrical appliances.

Applications

Portable immersion heaters are commonly used for rapid heating of liquids in containers for various applications:

• Residential Use

  • Boiling water for beverages and cooking.
  • Heating water for cleaning or bathing.

• Commercial and Light Industrial Use

  • Use in shops to prepare hot beverages or cleaning solutions.
  • Farmers heating water for feeding livestock or for facility maintenance.

• General Considerations

  • Suitable for use by laypersons in controlled environments.
  • Especially useful in settings without permanent water heating infrastructure.

By adhering to this standard, manufacturers and operators can minimize electrical hazards, burns, or accidental misuse, ensuring broader public and animal safety.

Related Standards

• EN IEC 60335-1:2023

  • General safety requirements for household and similar electrical appliances.

• EN IEC 60335-2-15
