Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety - Part 2-31: Particular requirements for range hoods and other cooking fume extractors

EN-IEC 60335-2-31 is replaced by the following. This International Standard deals with the safety of electric range hoods and other cooking fume extractors intended for installing above, beside, behind or under household cooking ranges, hobs and similar cooking appliances, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V. Appliances not intended for normal household use but that nevertheless may be a source of danger to the public, such as appliances intended to be used by laymen in shops, in light industry and on farms, are within the scope of this standard. 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.

L'article de la Partie 2 est applicable avec les exceptions suivantes:
Remplacer le quatrième alinéa par le suivant:
Dans la mesure du possible, la présente norme traite des dangers ordinaires que présentent les appareils et qui sont encourus par toutes les personnes à l'intérieur des habitations et dans des environnements similaires.
Cependant, cette norme ne tient, en général, pas compte:
•   de l’utilisation de l’appareil comme jouet par des enfants,
•   de l'utilisation de l'appareil par de très jeunes enfants et de jeunes enfants;
•   de l'entretien par l'usager réalisé par des enfants, y compris le nettoyage de l'appareil.
Il est admis que les personnes très vulnérables peuvent avoir des besoins dépassant le cadre de la présente norme.

Gospodinjski in podobni električni aparati - Varnost - 2-31. del: Posebne zahteve za kuhinjske nape

Standard EN-IEC 60335-2-31 nadomešča naslednje besedilo. Ta mednarodni standard obravnava varnost električnih kuhinjskih nap, namenjenih vgradnji nad, poleg, za ali pod gospodinjske vgradne štedilnike, kuhalnike in podobne kuhalne aparate, katerih nazivna napetost ne presega 250 V. Področje uporabe tega standarda zajema aparate, ki niso namenjeni za običajno gospodinjsko uporabo, vendar so lahko vir nevarnosti za javnost, kot so aparati, namenjeni za laično uporabo v trgovinah, lahki industriji in na kmetijah. Ta standard v največji možni meri obravnava splošne nevarnosti, ki jih predstavljajo aparati ter s katerimi se srečujejo osebe doma in v okolici doma. Vendar na splošno ne upošteva: – oseb (vključno z otroki), ki zaradi – fizičnih, čutilnih ali duševnih zmožnosti ali – neizkušenosti in neznanja aparata ne morejo varno uporabljati brez nadzora ali navodil; – otrok, ki se igrajo z aparatom.

COMMON MODIFICATIONS
Introduction
Add:

An investigation by CENELEC TC 61 has shown that all risks from products within the scope of this
standard are fully covered by the Low Voltage Directive, 2006/95/EC. For products having mechanical
moving parts, a risk assessment in accordance with the Machinery Directive, 2006/42/EC, has shown
that the risks are mainly of electrical origin and consequently this directive is not applicable. However,
the relevant essential safety requirements of the Machinery Directive are covered by this standard
together with the principal objectives of the Low Voltage Directive.
1 Scope
This clause of Part 2 is applicable except as follows:
Replace the fourth paragraph by the following:
As far as is practicable, this standard deals with the common hazards presented by appliances that
are encountered by all persons in household and similar environments.
However, in general, it does not take into account:
• children playing with the appliance,
• the use of the appliance by very young children and young children,
• user maintenance by children, including the necessary cleaning the appliance.
It is recognized that very vulnerable people may have needs beyond the level addressed in this
standard.
7 Markings
7.10 Modification.
In Part 1, replace the fourth paragraph with the following:
Devices used to stop operational functions of the appliance, if any, shall be distinguished from other
manual devices by means of shape, or size, or surface texture, or position, etc.
7.12 Addition:
The instructions shall include details of the types of lamps that can be used, including pictures
of the relevant types and indicating the ILCOS D code (standard version code) according to

Part 2-31: Particular requirements for range hoods
and other cooking fume extractors


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) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This part of International Standard IEC 60335 has been prepared by IEC technical committee
61: Safety of household and similar electrical appliances.
This fifth edition cancels and replaces the fourth edition published in 2002, including its
Amendment 1 (2006) and its Amendment 2 (2008). It constitutes a technical revision.
The principal changes in this edition as compared with the fourth edition of IEC 60335-2-31
are as follows (minor changes are not listed):
• added requirements to address range hood installation (7.12.1 and 22.103);
• added construction requirement to address risk of entrapment in rangehoods or down-draft
system (20.101);
• deleted reference to ISO 13732-1 from Bibliography.

INTRODUCTION
It has been assumed in the drafting of this International Standard that the execution of its
provisions is entrusted to appropriately qualified and experienced persons.
This standard recognizes the internationally accepted level of protection against hazards such
as electrical, mechanical, thermal, fire and radiation of appliances when operated as in
normal use taking into account the manufacturer's instructions. It also covers abnormal
situations that can be expected in practice and takes into account the way in which
electromagnetic phenomena can affect the safe operation of appliances.
This standard takes into account the requirements of IEC 60364 as far as possible so that
there is compatibility with the wiring rules when the appliance is connected to the supply
mains. However, national wiring rules may differ.
If an appliance within the scope of this standard also incorporates functions that are covered
by another part 2 of IEC 60335, the relevant part 2 is applied to each function separately, as
far as is reasonable. If applicable, the influence of one function on the other is taken into
account.
When a part 2 standard does not include additional requirements to cover hazards dealt with
in Part 1, Part 1 applies.
NOTE 1 This means that the technical committees responsible for the part 2 standards have determined that it is
not necessary to specify particular requirements for the appliance in question over and above the general
requirements.
This standard is a product family standard dealing with the safety of appliances and takes
precedence over horizontal and generic standards covering the same subject.
NOTE 2 Horizontal and generic standards covering a hazard are not applicable since they have been taken into
consideration when developing the general and particular requirements for the IEC 60335 series of standards. For
example, in the case of temperature requirements for surfaces on many appliances, generic standards, such as
ISO 13732-1 for hot surfaces, are not applicable in addition to Part 1 or part 2 standards.
An appliance that complies with the text of this standard will not necessarily be considered to
comply with the safety principles of the standard if, when examined and tested, it is found to
have other features that impair the level of safety covered by these requirements.
An appliance employing materials or having forms of construction differing from those detailed
in the requirements of this standard may be examined and tested according to the intent of
the requirements and, if found to be substantially equivalent, may be considered to comply
with the standard.

HOUSEHOLD AND SIMILAR ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES –
SAFETY –

Part 2-31: Particular requirements for range hoods
and other cooking fume extractors



1 Scope
This clause of Part 1 is replaced by the following.
This International Standard deals with the safety of electric range hoods and other cooking
fume extractors intended for installing above, beside, behind or under household cooking
ranges, hobs and similar cooking appliances, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V.
NOTE 101 The cooking appliance can be supplied by electricity or other fuels, such as gas.
Appliances not intended for normal household use but that nevertheless may be a source of
danger to the public, such as appliances intended to be used by laymen in shops, in light
industry and on farms, are within the scope of this standard.
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.
NOTE 102 Attention is drawn to the fact that
– for appliances incorporating electrostatic air filters, IEC 60335-2-65 also applies;
– for appliances intended to be used in vehicles or on board ships or aircraft, additional requirements could 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 authorities responsible for buildings and similar
authorities.
NOTE 103 This standard does not apply to
– appliances intended for commercial purposes (IEC 60335-2-99);
– 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).
