Part 2-6: Particular requirements
for stationary cooking ranges, hobs,
ovens and similar appliances
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.
This part of International Standard IEC 60335 has been prepared by IEC technical committee
61: Safety of household and similar electrical appliances.
This sixth edition cancels and replaces the fifth edition published in 2002 including its
Amendment 1 (2004) and its Amendment 2 (2008). It constitutes a technical revision.
The principal changes in this edition as compared with the fifth edition of IEC 60335-2-6 are
as follows (minor changes are not listed):
• introduction of requirements for steam ovens;
• introduction of requirements for ovens intended for use on ships;
• clarified requirements for oven shelve construction and test;
• introduction of optional values for the accessible surface temperatures of ovens;

60335-2-6 © IEC:2014 – 5 –
• introduction of stabilising means including warnings;
• clarified representative periods for various appliances (Clause 10);
• introduction of a spillage test for built-in under-bench ovens.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
61/4668/FDIS 61/4708/RVD
Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on
voting indicated in the above table.
This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
This part 2 is to be used in conjunction with the latest edition of IEC 60335-1 and its
amendments. It was established on the basis of the fifth edition (2010) of that standard.
NOTE 1 When “Part 1” is mentioned in this standard, it refers to IEC 60335-1.
This part 2 supplements or modifies the corresponding clauses in IEC 60335-1, so as to
convert that publication into the IEC standard: Safety requirements for stationary electric
cooking ranges, hobs, ovens and similar appliances.

as far as is reasonable. When this standard states “addition”, “modification” or “replacement”,
the relevant text in Part 1 is to be adapted accordingly.
NOTE 2 The following numbering system is used:
– subclauses, tables and figures that are numbered starting from 101 are additional to those in Part 1;
– unless notes are in a new subclause or involve notes in Part 1, they are numbered starting from 101, including
those in a replaced clause or subclause;
– additional annexes are lettered AA, BB, etc.
NOTE 3 The following print types are used:
– requirements: in roman type;
– test specifications: in italic type;

The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until
the stability date indicated on the IEC web site under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data
related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.
NOTE 4 The attention of National Committees is drawn to the fact that equipment manufacturers and testing
organizations may need a transitional period following publication of a new, amended or revised IEC publication in
which to make products in accordance with the new requirements and to equip themselves for conducting new or
revised tests.
It is the recommendation of the committee that the content of this publication be adopted for implementation
nationally not earlier than 12 months or later than 36 months from the date of publication.
A list of all parts of the IEC 60335 series, under the general title: Household and similar

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.
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
requirements.
This standard is a product family standard dealing with the safety of appliances and takes
precedence over horizontal and generic standards covering the same subject.
NOTE 2 Horizontal and generic standards covering a hazard are not applicable since they have been taken into
consideration when developing the general and particular requirements for the IEC 60335 series of standards. For
example, in the case of temperature requirements for surfaces on many appliances, generic standards, such as
ISO 13732-1 for hot surfaces, are not applicable in addition to Part 1 or part 2 standards.
An appliance that complies with the text of this standard will not necessarily be considered to
comply with the safety principles of the standard if, when examined and tested, it is found to
have other features that impair the level of safety covered by these requirements.
An appliance employing materials or having forms of construction differing from those detailed
in the requirements of this standard may be examined and tested according to the intent of
the requirements and, if found to be substantially equivalent, may be considered to comply
with the standard.

SAFETY –
Part 2-6: Particular requirements
for stationary cooking ranges, hobs,
ovens and similar appliances
1 Scope
This clause of Part 1 is replaced by the following.
This International Standard deals with the safety of stationary electric cooking ranges,
hobs, ovens and similar appliances for household use, their rated voltage being not more
than 250 V for single-phase appliances connected between one phase and neutral, and 480 V
for other appliances.
This International Standard also includes some requirements for ovens that are intended to
be used on board ships.
NOTE 101 Examples of appliances that are within the scope of this standard are
– griddles;
– grills;
– induction hobs;
– induction wok elements;
– pyrolytic self-cleaning ovens;
– steam ovens.
As far as is practicable, this standard deals with the common hazards presented by
appliances that 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.
NOTE 102 Attention is drawn to the fact that
– for appliances intended to be used in vehicles or on board ships or aircraft, additional requirements may be
necessary;
– in many countries, additional requirements are specified by the national health authorities, the national
authorities responsible for the protection of labour, the national water supply authorities and similar
authorities.
NOTE 103 This standard does not apply to
– appliances intended for commercial catering;
– 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);

60335-2-6 © IEC:2014 – 9 –
– grills, toasters and similar portable cooking appliances (IEC 60335-2-9);
– microwave ovens (IEC 60335-2-25).

This clause of Part 1 is applicable except as follows.
3.1.6 Addition:
Note 101 to entry: For appliances having more than three heating units per phase, a diversity factor is applied to
the rated current or rated power input when determining the current used to establish the size of the terminals
and the nominal cross-sectional area of the supply cord. The diversity factor F is calculated from the following
formula, where N is the number of heating units per phase that can be energized together:
0,65
F = 0,35 +

3.1.9 Replacement:
normal operation
operation of the appliance as specified in 3.1.9.101 to 3.1.9.107
3.1.9.101 Hob elements, other than induction hob elements and induction wok
elements, are operated with vessels containing cold water. The vessel is made of unpolished
commercial quality aluminium, has a flat bottom and is covered with a lid that is positioned so
that steam does not affect the tests. Thermal controls are adjusted to their highest setting
until the water boils and then adjusted so that the water boils gently. Water is added to
maintain the level during boiling.
In case of doubt, vessels as specified in Figure 101 are used.
Induction hob elements are operated with vessels as specified in Figure 102 that contain
cooking oil at room temperature. Thermal controls are adjusted to their highest setting until
the oil temperature reaches 180 °C ± 4 °C and then adjusted so that this temperature is
maintained. The oil temperature is measured 10 mm above the centre of the bottom of the
vessel.
Induction wok elements are operated with a wok having an equivalent sphere diameter that
does not differ from the equivalent sphere diameter of the induction wok element cavity by
more than %. This wok may be supplied by the manufacturer.

The wok is made of low carbon steel having a maximum carbon content of 0,08 % and a
thickness of 2 mm ± 0,5 mm. The height of the wok shall be approximately twice the depth of
the induction wok element cavity.
The wok is filled to approximately half of its height with cooking oil at room temperature.
Thermal controls are adjusted to their highest setting until the oil temperature reaches 180 °C
± 4 °C and then adjusted so that this temperature is maintained. The oil temperature is
measured 10 mm above the centre of the bottom of the vessel.
For all hob elements other than induction wok elements, the diameter of the bottom of the
vessel is approximately equal to the diameter of the cooking zone and the quantity of liquid
is specified in Table 101. The vessel is positioned centrally on the cooking zone.
If several cooking zones are marked for one hob element, the most unfavourable cooking
zone is used for the test.
For non-circular cooking zones, the smallest non-circular vessel is used which will cover the
cooking zone as far as possible, taking into account the hob rim and the other vessels. The
quantity of liquid is determined on the basis of the minor diameter of the cooking zone.

3.1.9.102 Ovens and steam convection ovens are operated empty with the door closed.
Thermal controls are adjusted so that the mean temperature in the centre of the oven is
maintained at
• 220 °C ± 4 °C for ovens with forced air circulation;
• 240 °C ± 4 °C for other ovens.
If the temperature cannot be attained, the thermal control is adjusted to its highest setting.
Ovens without thermal controls are switched on and off so that the temperature in the centre
of the oven is maintained at 240 °C ± 15 °C.
Atmospheric steam ovens and pressure steam ovens are operated in accordance with the
instructions. Lids, doors and covers are in position and closed. Controls are adjusted to their
highest setting until the cooking temperature is reached and then adjusted to the lowest
setting that maintains this temperature.
Steam generators intended to be filled by hand are filled according to the instructions, water
being added to maintain the steam generation.
Steam generators intended to be filled automatically are connected to a water supply, the
pressure of which is set according to the instructions.
The supply water has a temperature of
• 15 °C ± 5 °C for appliances to be connected to a cold water supply;
• 60 °C ± 5 °C or the temperature indicated in the instructions, whichever is the higher, for
appliances to be connected to a hot water supply.

Steam convection ovens are also operated while generating steam but with the thermal
controls adjusted as for operation without steam.
3.1.9.103 Grills are operated empty with the grill pan and food supports in the most
unfavourable position for normal use, the door and any other accessories being positioned in
accordance with the instructions. In the absence of such instructions, the door and other
accessories are placed in the most unfavourable position in which they may be left. Thermal
controls are adjusted to their highest setting. However, if the instructions for grills
incorporated in ovens specify a lower setting, this setting is used. Any reflectors intended to
be placed above heating elements are in position.
3.1.9.104 Rotating spits in ovens or grills are operated with the load on the rotating spit as
shown in Figure 103. The appliance is operated taking into account the instructions with
regard to
– the heating elements to be operated;
– the setting of the thermal control;
– the position of the door and grill pan.
In the absence of such instructions, the control is adjusted to its highest setting and the door
is fully open or is placed in the most unfavourable intermediate position in which it may be
left.
Any grill pan is placed in its lowest position.
3.1.9.105 Warming drawers and similar compartments are operated in the closed position
with their controls adjusted to the highest setting.
3.1.9.106 Griddles are operated so that the temperature at the centre of the heated surface
is maintained at 275 °C ± 15 °C by adjusting their thermal controls or by switching the supply
on or off.
3.1.9.107 Cooking ranges are operated with their individual heating units being operated
under their stated conditions of normal operation.
