FprEN IEC 60335-2-13:2026/FprAA:2026 is a CLC draft European amendment for the safety of household and similar electrical appliances covered by Part 2-13. It applies to electric deep fat fryers, frying pans, woks and similar appliances for cooking with oil, with a rated voltage not above 250 V and a recommended maximum oil quantity not exceeding 5 l.
What does FprEN IEC 60335-2-13:2026/FprAA:2026 specify?
FprEN IEC 60335-2-13:2026/FprAA:2026 sets particular safety requirements for oil-cooking appliances intended for household use and similar use. The document is read with Part 1 and with the base Part 2-13, and it uses the European Z-numbering system for added clauses, notes, tables, figures and annexes.
The scope is focused on appliances where hot oil is a normal part of the cooking process. In practice, that matters because the document addresses burn, spillage, marking and construction risks that are specific to these appliances.
| Annex | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Annex ZA | Normative references to international publications and their European publications |
| Annex ZE | Specific additional requirements for appliances and machines intended for commercial use - not applicable |
| Annex ZZA | Relationship with Directive 2014/35/EU |
| Annex ZZB | Relationship with Directive 2006/42/EC - not applicable |
| Annex ZZC | Relationship with Directive 2014/53/EU |
What are the key requirements of FprEN IEC 60335-2-13:2026/FprAA:2026?
FprEN IEC 60335-2-13:2026/FprAA:2026 tightens marking, instruction, heating-test and construction rules for deep fat fryers, frying pans and similar appliances. The main practical effect is to make the hot-surface risk, user instructions and prohibited functions easier to control during design and conformity assessment.
Scope and use conditions
Clause 1 adjusts the wording around household use and adds examples of household environments such as shops, farm houses, hotels, motels and bed and breakfast type environments. It also states that the standard addresses reasonably foreseeable hazards encountered by all persons and recognizes that people with disabilities may have needs beyond the level addressed here. For a manufacturer, that means the intended-use description and risk assessment need to reflect non-expert users in typical domestic settings.
Markings and instructions
Clause 7.1 requires the warning for externally accessible hot surfaces to be placed on the hottest surface and to remain visible during normal operation. Clause 7.12 adds instructions on child use, supervision, cleaning and user maintenance, plus a warning to position cooking appliances stably and arrange handles to avoid spillage of hot liquids. In practice, the manual and labels must be written for real use, not just laboratory conditions.
Symbol and warning size
Clause 7.14 sets minimum character heights for the IEC 60417-5041 symbol and for the wording “CAUTION. Hot surface”. This matters because the warning has to stay readable on the appliance itself, not only in the instructions.
Heating checks
Clause 11.8 updates Table 101 so that the vessel is treated as a hot functional surface, and it changes the underside check to probe 41 of EN 61032:1998. That gives test laboratories a defined way to assess surface temperature and access to hot parts.
Construction limits
Clause 22.40 says these appliances shall not be controlled by remote operation or include a delayed start timer. Clauses 22.49 to 22.51 are marked not applicable. For designers, that removes remote-start and delayed-start features from this product family.
Other clause changes
Clause 31 on resistance to rusting is not applicable here. That means corrosion testing is not used as a requirement in this part for these appliances.
What terms does FprEN IEC 60335-2-13:2026/FprAA:2026 define?
- Deep fat fryer - An electric appliance for cooking in oil, with a recommended maximum oil quantity not exceeding 5 l.
- Frying pan - A cooking appliance in this product family that uses oil for cooking and falls under the same safety rules.
- Wok - A similar oil-cooking appliance covered by the scope when intended for household or similar use.
- Household environment - The dwelling and its associated buildings, garden and similar places where typical housekeeping functions may also be carried out.
- Functional surface - A surface that is treated as hot during operation for the heating assessment in Clause 11.
- Remote operation - Control of the appliance from outside the appliance, which is prohibited for this product family.
- Delayed start timer - A timer function that postpones operation, which is also prohibited here.
Who uses FprEN IEC 60335-2-13:2026/FprAA:2026?
Manufacturers of deep fat fryers, frying pans, woks and similar appliances use this document when designing products and writing instructions. Test laboratories use it to set up heating, marking and construction checks. Quality managers and regulatory staff use it for conformity assessment, technical files and product review. Buyers and private-label owners use it when specifying safety expectations for this appliance category.
What changed in FprEN IEC 60335-2-13:2026/FprAA:2026 from the previous edition?
FprEN IEC 60335-2-13:2026/FprAA:2026 states that European amendment A11 supersedes EN 60335-2-13:2010+A11:2012+A1:2019. The amendment also aligns the document with EN IEC 60335-1:2023+A11:2023 and the current Part 2-13 base text.
The stated changes include:
- revised scope wording for household use
- added instructions for children, supervision and positioning
- minimum sizes for the hot-surface warning and symbol
- updated heating-test references, including probe 41
- a ban on remote operation and delayed start timers
- Annex updates for EU legal relationships and normative references
Which standards are used with FprEN IEC 60335-2-13:2026/FprAA:2026?
- EN IEC 60335-1:2023+A11:2023 - Part 1 general requirements, which provides the common safety baseline used with this part.
- EN IEC 60335-2-13:2024 - The base Part 2-13 text that this amendment modifies.
- EN IEC 60320-1:2021 / IEC 60320-1:2021 - Appliance couplers for household and similar general purposes, listed in Annex ZA.
- IEC 60417 - Graphical symbols used for the appliance symbol in Clause 7.14.
- EN 61032:1998 - Probe 41 is used in the heating assessment.
- EN 60584-1:2013 / IEC 60584-1 - Thermocouple reference used in Annex ZA.
What does the FprEN IEC 60335-2-13:2026/FprAA:2026 document contain?
The document combines clause-by-clause safety changes with legal and reference annexes. It includes marking and instruction requirements, heating-test wording, and construction restrictions, plus annexes that map the standard to the Low Voltage Directive and the Radio Equipment Directive.
It also contains tables that relate clauses to EU safety objectives and essential requirements, and a heating table with updated footnotes. For compliance work, those tables show which clauses support which regulatory objectives and where the testing and marking details sit in the text.
