Standards for machines involved in cooking, dishwashing, and other kitchen duties and activities are developed by IEC. The numerous standards address safety concerns and technical requirements in a number of kitchen machines, including, but not limited to, dishwashers, cookers, fryers, blenders, food mixers and processors, and so on. These standards address safety concerns and technical requirements for kitchen machines used in a commercial and household setting. The misuse of kitchen machines can result in various hazards and injuries, including cuts, severe burns, explosions, and etc. These hazards and injuries could lead to the destruction of personal property, casualties, as well as legal disputes.
IEC 60335-2-14:2025 deals with the safety of electric kitchen machines for household and similar purposes, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V including direct current (DC) supplied appliances and battery-operated appliances. Examples of appliances that are within the scope of this standard are – bean slicers; – auger juicers; – blenders; – can openers; – centrifugal juicers; – churns; – citrus-fruit squeezers; – coffee mills not exceeding a hopper rated capacity of 500 g; – cream whippers; – egg beaters; – food mixers; – food processors; – grain grinders not exceeding a hopper rated capacity of 3 l; – graters; – ice-cream machines, including those for use in refrigerators and freezers; – knife sharpeners; – knives; – mincers; – noodle makers; – peelers; – shredders; – sieving machines; – slicing machines. Appliances intended for normal household and similar use and that can also be used by laypersons in shops, in light industry, bed and breakfast and on farms, are within the scope of this standard. However, if the appliance is intended to be used professionally to process food for commercial consumption, the appliance is not considered to be for household and similar use only. As far as is practicable, this standard deals with the common hazards presented by appliances which 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. It does not take into account the use of the following appliances by children: – bean slicers; – blenders including hand-held blenders; – juicers other than citrus-fruit squeezers; – food mixers; – food processors; – knives; – mincers; – noodle makers; – lathe-type or hand-held peelers; – vegetable graters/shredders; – slicing machines. Attention is drawn to the fact that – for appliances intended to be used in vehicles or on board ships or aircraft, additional requirements can be necessary; – in many countries, additional requirements are specified by the national health authorities, the national authorities responsible for the protection of labour and similar authorities. This standard does not apply to – slicing machines having a circular knife the blade of which is inclined at an angle exceeding 45° to the vertical; – breadmakers (IEC 60335 2 9); – soy milk makers (IEC 60335 2 15); – food waste disposers (IEC 60335 2 16); – ice-cream appliances with incorporated motor compressors (IEC 60335-2 24); – kitchen machines intended for commercial purposes (IEC 60335 2 64); – kitchen machines intended for industrial purposes; – kitchen machines intended to be used in locations where special conditions prevail, such as the presence of a corrosive or explosive atmosphere (dust, vapour or gas).
