Overview

SIST EN 60335-2-15:2016/A2:2021 is a European Standard published by CLC that specifies safety requirements for household and similar electrical appliances designed to heat liquids. Applicable to appliances with a rated voltage not exceeding 250 V, this standard provides particular guidelines to ensure user safety, appliance reliability, and compliance with relevant legislation. As an amendment to EN 60335-2-15:2016, this document incorporates updated technical provisions and corrective measures for enhancing appliance safety features.

This standard targets manufacturers, testing organizations, and regulatory bodies involved in the design, production, and certification of electrical appliances such as kettles, water boilers, and feeding-bottle heaters for domestic and comparable environments.

Key Topics

• Scope and Application
  The standard covers electrical appliances for heating liquids used in households or similar settings. It is intended for appliances operating at voltages up to 250 V, emphasizing protection against electrical hazards, mechanical risks, and abnormal operation scenarios.

• Safety Requirements
  Includes essential provisions on:

  • Electrical insulation and dielectric strength, ensuring no live parts are accessible post-abnormal operation tests
  • Construction requirements addressing safe materials and design features to prevent hazards
  • Marking and instructions specifying clear user guidelines, including warnings and operational instructions, especially for feeding-bottle heaters

• Feeding-Bottle Heaters Specifics
  Introduces requirements such as:

  • Control mechanisms allowing temperature or time preset
  • Audible or visible signals indicating when the preset condition is reached
  • Mandatory user instructions to switch off the heater manually if no automatic shutoff is present

• Testing Protocols
  Defines test methods for abnormal operating conditions, including dielectric strength testing with specific parameters, and protocols for self-resetting thermal cut-outs in components, guaranteeing appliance safety under fault conditions.

Applications

SIST EN 60335-2-15:2016/A2:2021 is essential for the design, manufacture, and certification of electrical appliances used for heating liquids. Key applications include:

• Electric Kettles and Water Boilers
  Ensuring products conform to safety parameters for domestic use to prevent electrical shock, overheating, or mechanical failure.

• Feeding-Bottle Heaters
  Providing safe and reliable operation features, such as temperature control, logical user instructions, and effective signaling mechanisms to enhance infant care safety.

• Small Kitchen Appliances
  Any appliance heating liquids within households or similar environments can reference this standard to comply with European safety requirements.

Compliance with SIST EN 60335-2-15:2016/A2:2021 aids manufacturers in delivering safer heating liquid appliances, fostering consumer confidence and fulfilling CE marking mandates under EU directives.

Related Standards

SIST EN 60335-2-15:2016/A2:2021 forms part of the broader EN 60335 series which addresses household electrical appliance safety, including but not limited to:

• EN 60335-1: General requirements for household and similar electrical appliances
• EN 60335-2-X: Particular requirements for diverse appliance categories such as vacuum cleaners, kitchen machines, or refrigeration units
• IEC 60335-2-15: The international equivalent base standard closely aligned with the European amendment

Additionally, manufacturers should be aware of supporting documentation such as:

• EU Directive 2014/35/EU (Low Voltage Directive) relating to electrical equipment safety
• CENELEC internal regulations on national adoption and harmonization of the standard

Conclusion

SIST EN 60335-2-15:2016/A2:2021 provides a comprehensive framework for ensuring the safety of household electrical appliances intended for heating liquids. By following the stringent and updated requirements detailed in this standard, manufacturers can enhance product safety, ensure regulatory compliance, and deliver reliable appliances suited for everyday domestic use. This standard is a critical reference for stakeholders aiming to uphold safety, efficiency, and quality within the small kitchen appliance sector.
