Overview
EN 60335-2-31:2014/A2:2023 is the CENELEC amendment (A2) to the European safety standard for household and similar electric range hoods and other cooking fume extractors. It applies to appliances intended for installation above, beside, behind or under household cooking ranges, hobs and similar appliances, with a rated voltage not exceeding 250 V. This amendment adopts IEC 60335-2-31:2012/A2:2018 and updates specific requirements (notably on resistance to heat and fire and testing of fans and filters). The amendment was approved by CENELEC (2022-09-05) and had implementation/withdrawal timelines defined by the committee.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope and application: Safety requirements for domestic range hoods and cooking fume extractors at rated voltages ≤ 250 V and installed in typical kitchen positions.
- Electrical safety: Protection against shock, correct electrical construction and insulation consistent with household appliance safety principles.
- Mechanical and installation safety: Mechanical strength, secure mounting for overhead or built-in installations, and safe clearances to cooking surfaces.
- Resistance to heat and fire: Amendment A2 clarifies that appliances must not incorporate combustible materials likely to propagate a fire originating from a cooking surface. The amendment updates test specifications to include odour extraction filters in fan-related tests and references the needle-flame test of Annex E for flame-resistance verification.
- Fans and filters: Specific testing requirements for fans and odour extraction filters to ensure safe operation under fault and elevated-temperature conditions.
- Harmonization: The European text endorses the corresponding IEC document and should be read together with EN 60335-2-31:2014/A11:2023 where applicable.
Practical applications - who uses this standard
- Manufacturers and product designers of range hoods and cooking fume extractors - to design compliant products and select appropriate non-combustible materials.
- Test laboratories and certification bodies - to execute conformity testing (including needle-flame and heat/fire tests) and issue CE/UKCA declarations.
- Compliance officers, procurement teams and specifiers - to verify safety compliance in tendering and product selection.
- Regulators and national standards committees - for adoption, enforcement and withdrawal of conflicting national standards.
