ÖVE/ÖNORM EN 60335-2-13

This European Standard deals with the safety of electric deep fat fryers having a recommended maximum quantity of oil not exceeding 5 l, frying pans, woks and other appliances in which oil is used for cooking, and intended for household use and similar use, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V. Appliances intended to be used by laymen in shops and other premises for normal housekeeping purposes, are within the scope of this European Standard. As far as is practicable, this European 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 young and very young children, – the use of the appliance by older children without supervision, – user maintenance by children, including the cleaning of the appliance. It is recognized that very vulnerable people may have needs beyond the level addressed in this European Standard. This European Standard does not apply to – deep fat fryers for commercial use (EN 60335-2-37), – commercial multi-purpose cooking pans (EN 60335-2-39), – 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).
