Update: EN IEC 60335-2-9 Cooking Appliances Test Standard

In the new consumption era where the Internet is booming, small household appliances are deeply loved by foreign users due to their advantages such as small size, exquisite appearance and unique functions, and portable cooking utensils are especially popular products.

60335-2-9 New version released

In March 2023, the European Technical Committee issued the new standard EN IEC 60335-2-9:2023+A11:2023. Its permitted use date is tentatively set as 2024-01-12, and the mandatory implementation date is tentatively set as 2026-01-12. In CE-LVD certification, you still need to wait for the official implementation date given in the EU official announcement (OJ), and the OJ document shall prevail.

EN IEC 60335-2-9:2023 is a synchronous update based on the international standard IEC 60335-2-9:2019 without any modification; however, the new amendment EN IEC 60335-2-9:2023/A11:2023 makes supplementary deviation requirements. The important changes are briefly described below.

Main additional requirements

Logo and nameplate:

The scope of use of the hot surface warning label and warning statement is applicable to the following two situations:

⑴External surfaces evaluated using footnote b of Table 102 (where double the temperature rise limit is used) ;

⑵External surfaces evaluated using Table 102+40K (case of single temperature rise limit +40K) .

Surface temperature rise:

If the total area of the vents and the surfaces within 25 mm of the vents does not exceed 20% of the total accessible surface area , the vents and the surfaces within 25 mm of the vents are exempted from the unlimited temperature rise requirement and can be tested;

If the total area of the ventilation opening and the surface within 25mm around it exceeds 20% of the total accessible surface area , the excess surface within 25mm around the ventilation opening shall comply with the temperature limit requirements in Table 102 .

The total accessible surface area of the enclosure is calculated as follows: The area of the accessible surface of the appliance in accordance with EN 61032 Type B test means minus the following area (i.e. the total accessible surface area of the enclosure) :

⑴External thermally functional surfaces;

⑵handles, knobs, controls and similar devices;

⑶The bottom surface cannot be reached by the test probe 41 of EN 61032 .

However, vents and surfaces within 25 mm of the area covered above are not taken into account in the calculation of the 20% accessible enclosure surface.

During the test, EN 61032  Type B test means that the temperature rise of the accessible external front, top and rear surfaces shall not exceed the values specified in Table 102 + 40K , and the temperature rise of other external surfaces shall not exceed the values specified in Table 102 , except for non-measurement surfaces.

4.structure:

-Products with sandwich grill attachment.

22.Z102 For raclette appliances

The position of the handle should be clearly identifiable by tactile means to avoid accidental contact with the hot surface of the appliance.
