Overview
EN IEC 60335-2-25:2021/prAB:2023 is a CENELEC draft amendment (prAB, April 2023) to the European safety standard for microwave ovens and combination microwave ovens for household and similar use. The standard covers electrical and mechanical safety for appliances with rated voltage not more than 250 V and supplements EN IEC 60335‑2‑25:2021 and EN 60335‑1 series requirements. Note: prAB is a draft amendment submitted for enquiry and may be updated before final publication.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope clarification: Appliances intended for non‑professional use in shops, light industry and farms are explicitly within scope; professional food‑processing equipment for commercial purposes is excluded.
- Marking and instructions (Clause 7 additions):
- Mandatory hot‑surface warning: either the text “CAUTION: Hot surface” or symbol IEC 60417‑5041.
- Minimum text height: 4 mm (capital letters). Minimum symbol size: 12 mm.
- Visibility: hot‑surface marking must be visible during normal operation and not placed on functional surfaces.
- Guidance reference for legibility: EN IEC/IEEE 82079‑1:2020.
- Heating requirements (Clause 11 modifications):
- Continuous monitoring of temperature rises during tests, which must not exceed values in Table 3 and Table Z101.
- Footnote clarifications: footnote k expanded to specify that similar short‑held parts include handles, grips, vents and air shutters. Wording in Table Z101 footnote a adjusted for clarity.
- Clause and annex edits:
- Removal of certain prior additions in Clauses 8 and Annex AA.
- Updates to normative references in Annex ZC mapping several IEC publications to their EN equivalents.
- Draft status and compliance: As a CENELEC draft amendment, it is distributed for review and comments and is not yet a final European Standard.
