Foreword
This document (EN 60335-2-25:2012) consists of the text of IEC 60335-2-25:2010 prepared by IEC/SC 61B
"Safety of microwave appliances for household and commercial use", together with the common modifications
prepared by CLC/TC 61, "Safety of household and similar electrical appliances".
The following dates are fixed:
• latest date by which this document has to be
(dop) 2012-11-28
implemented
at national level by publication of an identical
national standard or by endorsement
• latest date by which the national standards conflicting
(dow) 2014-11-28
with this document have to be withdrawn
This document supersedes EN 60335-2-25:2002 + A1:2005 + A2:2006 + A11:2010.
– the scope is extended by microwave ovens on board ships and Annex BB contains requirements and test
specifications for microwave ovens on board ships;
– the scope and the requirements for the instructions are modified for better separation between “household
and similar use” and “commercial use”;
– the scope is modified by so that this International Standard does not take into account persons whose
capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge prevents them from using the appliance safely without
supervision or instruction and children playing with the appliance;
– the intended use is defined for clarification;
– the door endurance test is rationalised;
– the replacement of 22.103, 22.104 and 22.105 allows interlock systems with at least one concealed door
interlock as well as alternative interlock systems without concealed door interlock;
– the tests on electronic door interlock systems and similar are defined for clarification;
– the pollution degree of combination microwave ovens is defined for clarification;
– the thickness requirement for sheaths of visibly glowing heating elements of combination microwave ovens
is defined for clarification;
– there is an editorial correction of Clause 19 of Annex AA.
This standard is to be used in conjunction with the latest edition of EN 60335-1 and its amendments. When
“Part 1” is mentioned in this standard, it refers to EN 60335-1.
This part 2 supplements or modifies the corresponding clauses in EN 60335-1, so as to convert that
publication into the European standard: Particular requirements for microwave ovens, including combination
microwave ovens.
When a particular subclause of Part 1 is not mentioned in this part 2, that subclause applies 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 1 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 2 The following print types are used:
– requirements: in roman type;
– test specifications: in italic type ;
– notes: in small roman type.
Words in bold in the text are defined in Clause 3. When a definition concerns an adjective, the adjective and the associated noun are also
in bold.
Clauses, subclauses, notes, tables, figures and annexes which are additional to those in IEC 60335-2-
25:2010 are prefixed “Z”.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. CENELEC [and/or CEN] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
Endorsement notice
The text of the International Standard IEC 60335-2-25:2010 was approved by CENELEC as a European
Standard with common modifications.
COMMON MODIFICATIONS
1 Scope
Replacement
This European Standard deals with the safety of microwave ovens for household and similar use, their rated
voltage being not more than 250 V.
This European Standard also deals with combination microwave ovens, for which Annex AA is applicable.
This standard also deals with microwave ovens intended to be used on board ships, for which Annex BB is
applicable.
As far as is practicable, this European Standard deals with the common hazards presented by appliances that
are encountered by all persons in household and similar environments.

However, in general, it does not take into account:
• children playing with the appliance;
• the use of the appliance by very young children;
• the use of the appliance by young children without supervision.

It is recognized that very vulnerable people may have needs beyond the level addressed in this European
Standard.
NOTE Z101 Examples of appliance for household environment are appliances for typical housekeeping functions used in the
household environment that may also be used by non expert users for typical housekeeping functions:
– in shops and other similar working environments;
– in farm houses;
– by clients in hotels, motels and other residential type environments;
– in bed and breakfast type environments.

NOTE Z102 Household environments include the dwelling and its associated buildings, the garden, etc.
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 Z103 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 and similar authorities.
NOTE Z104 This standard does not apply to
- commercial microwave ovens (EN 60335-2-90)
- industrial microwave heating equipment (EN 60519-6)
- appliances for medical purposes (EN 60601)
- 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).
