FprEN IEC 60335-2-13:2026 is a draft European Standard from CENELEC for the safety of household and similar electric deep fat fryers, frying pans, woks and similar appliances. It sets particular safety requirements for appliances used for cooking in oil, with a rated voltage not more than 250 V and a recommended maximum oil quantity not exceeding 5 l. It is intended to be used together with the Part 1 safety standard for household and similar electrical appliances.

What does FprEN IEC 60335-2-13:2026 specify?

FprEN IEC 60335-2-13:2026 specifies the particular safety requirements for electric oil-cooking appliances in household and similar use. The document applies to deep fat fryers, frying pans, woks and similar appliances, and it sets out how they are marked, tested and constructed.

The scope includes appliances that may also be used by lay users in shops, light industry and farms, as long as they are still intended for household and similar use. It excludes commercial deep fat fryers, commercial multi-purpose cooking pans, appliances for special conditions such as corrosive or explosive atmospheres, and battery-operated appliances.

The document is organized as a Part 2 to IEC 60335-1, so it supplements and modifies the general Part 1 requirements. Its structure follows the usual safety standard layout: scope, references, terms, general requirements, test conditions, marking, heating, moisture resistance, abnormal operation, construction, cords and connectors, insulation, heat and fire, rusting, and radiation, plus Annex B and a bibliography.

AnnexWhat it covers
Annex BBattery-operated appliances, separable batteries and detachable batteries for battery-operated appliances

What are the key requirements of FprEN IEC 60335-2-13:2026?

FprEN IEC 60335-2-13:2026 focuses on the hazards that matter most for hot oil appliances: overheating, hot surfaces, splashing, moisture ingress, and unsafe connectors or controls. In practice, the standard tells manufacturers what to mark, what to measure, and which worst-case operating conditions to use in type testing.

  • Clause 1 - Scope limits. The appliance must be an electric deep fat fryer, frying pan, wok or similar oil-cooking appliance for household and similar use, with rated voltage not above 250 V and a recommended maximum oil quantity not above 5 l. This matters because products outside those limits need a different standard.

  • Clause 3 - Test conditions for use. The document defines the operating condition for each appliance type: deep fat fryers are filled to the minimum oil level, frying pans are tested with oil above the heated surface, and woks are tested in the same way as frying pans. This matters because the test setup reflects how the appliance is actually heated in use.

  • Clause 7 - Marking and instructions. Appliances with specified hot external surfaces need a hot-surface warning or symbol, deep fat fryers need maximum oil level marking and sometimes minimum oil level marking, and appliances intended for immersion cleaning need immersion-limit marking. The instructions must also cover cleaning, safe use around young children, the correct connector where relevant, and the fact that the appliance is not to be operated by an external timer or separate remote-control system.

  • Clause 11 - Heating and surface temperatures. The standard adds a probe in Figure 101 for measuring accessible hot surfaces and Table 101 for the allowable temperature rise of external surfaces. It also limits oil temperature in deep fat fryers and sets conditions for repeat testing, which helps control burn risk and overheating during normal use.

  • Clause 15 - Moisture resistance. Appliances intended for partial or complete immersion cleaning are subjected to repeated immersion, drying, leakage current checks and electric strength checks. This matters because moisture can create electric shock or insulation problems after cleaning.

  • Clause 19 - Abnormal operation. The standard tests deep fat fryers with capillary thermal cut-outs and detachable heating elements under fault-like conditions, and frying pans are tested in a way that reflects operation without oil. This ensures the appliance remains acceptably safe if controls fail or if it is used under unusual but foreseeable conditions.

  • Clause 22 and Clause 24 - Construction and components. Handles on deep fat fryers are checked under load at operating temperature, thermal controls are not allowed to be built into certain connectors, and thermal cut-outs used for some protection functions shall not be self-resetting. These requirements matter for mechanical safety and for preventing unsafe reconnection or restart behavior.

  • Clause 29 and Clause 30 - Insulation and fire resistance. The document treats the microenvironment as pollution degree 3 unless insulation is protected, and it applies different fire-resistance subclauses depending on whether the appliance is a frying pan or a deep fat fryer. This matters because hot grease and cooking vapors can stress insulation and materials.

What terms does FprEN IEC 60335-2-13:2026 define?

FprEN IEC 60335-2-13:2026 defines a small set of terms that drive the test methods and safety checks.

  • Functional surface - a surface intentionally heated by an internal heat source and required to be hot for the appliance to perform its function.
  • Operation - the specified test condition for each appliance type, such as the oil fill level for deep fat fryers or the oil depth and temperature for frying pans and woks.
  • Deep fat fryer - the appliance type covered by the document when it is used for cooking in oil and the recommended maximum oil quantity is not more than 5 l.
  • Frying pan - an oil-cooking appliance covered by the document and tested differently from a deep fat fryer, especially in abnormal-operation and heating tests.
  • Wok - an appliance covered alongside frying pans, with the same operating and test approach for oil depth and temperature.
  • Appliance connector - the detachable connection used with some appliances, with special cleaning and instruction requirements when it includes a thermostat or is removed for washing.

Who uses FprEN IEC 60335-2-13:2026?

FprEN IEC 60335-2-13:2026 is used by appliance manufacturers, electrical safety engineers, test laboratories, certification bodies and conformity assessment teams. It is also useful for quality managers and buyers who need to check whether a product is designed for household and similar use and whether the correct safety tests and markings have been applied.

The document is especially relevant for companies making deep fat fryers, frying pans, woks and similar oil-heating appliances. It also supports product reviews, type testing, instruction drafting, and checks on handles, connectors, immersion cleaning, temperature rise and abnormal operation.

What changed in FprEN IEC 60335-2-13:2026 from the previous edition?

FprEN IEC 60335-2-13:2026 will supersede EN 60335-2-13:2010, EN 60335-2-13:2010/A11:2012 and EN 60335-2-13:2010/A1:2019. The text is based on IEC 60335-2-13:2021 and aligns the European draft with that edition.

The IEC edition identifies these main technical changes from the previous IEC edition: alignment with IEC 60335-1:2020, conversion of selected notes into normative text, exclusion of battery-operated appliances, and an additional test for external accessible surfaces together with hot-surface marking.

Which standards are used with FprEN IEC 60335-2-13:2026?

FprEN IEC 60335-2-13:2026 is used with IEC 60335-1, which provides the general safety requirements for household and similar electrical appliances. This Part 2 modifies and supplements Part 1 rather than replacing it.

The document names two normative references:

  • IEC 60320-1:2021 - relevant to appliance couplers and their general requirements.
  • IEC 60584-1 - provides thermocouple EMF specifications and tolerances, which are used in the temperature test methods.

The bibliography also names related parts for other appliance types:

  • IEC 60335-2-37 - commercial electric doughnut fryers and deep fat fryers.
  • IEC 60335-2-39 - commercial electric multi-purpose cooking pans.

What does the FprEN IEC 60335-2-13:2026 document contain?

FprEN IEC 60335-2-13:2026 contains the clause structure, test conditions, marking rules and construction checks needed to assess the safety of oil-cooking appliances. It includes a specific operating definition for deep fat fryers, frying pans and woks, plus temperature-rise methods and a dedicated probe in Figure 101 for accessible surfaces.

Table 101 sets out the temperature-rise limits for specified external surfaces, and the notes below it explain where those measurements are not taken. The immersion-cleaning procedure in Clause 15 gives a full test sequence for leakage current, electric strength and post-test inspection.

The document also contains abnormal-operation tests for capillary thermal cut-outs and detachable heating elements, handle-strength testing for deep fat fryers, and material and insulation checks for cords, connectors and clearances. In practice, these clauses support design verification, type testing and conformity assessment for products that heat oil in normal household and similar use.

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.
IEC 60335-2-13 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 61: Safety of household and
similar electrical appliances. It is an International Standard.
This seventh edition cancels and replaces the sixth edition published in 2009 and
Amendment 1:2016. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition:
a) the text has been aligned with IEC 60335-1:2020;
b) some notes have been converted to normative text (Clause 1, 5.2, 5.101, 7.12, 15.101,
22.35, 24.1.5);
c) exclusion of battery-operated appliances (Clause 1);
d) an additional test has been introduced to limit the temperature rise of external accessible
surfaces including marking of hot surfaces (Clause 7, Clause 11).

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.
Guidance documents concerning the application of the safety requirements for appliances can
be accessed via TC 61 supporting documents on the IEC website
https://www.iec.ch/tc61/supportingdocuments
This information is given for the convenience of users of this International Standard and does
not constitute a replacement for the normative text in this standard.
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
