Part 2-13: Particular requirements for deep fat fryers,
frying pans 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) IEC draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a)
patent(s). IEC takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed patent rights in
respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, IEC had not received notice of (a) patent(s), which
may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are cautioned that this may not represent
the latest information, which may be obtained from the patent database available at https://patents.iec.ch shall
not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

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.
Guidance documents concerning the application of the safety requirements for appliances can
be accessed via TC 61 supporting documents on the IEC website
https://www.iec.ch/tc61/supportingdocuments
This information is given for the convenience of users of this International Standard and does
not constitute a replacement for the normative text in this standard.
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 publications, basic safety publications and group safety publications 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.
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.
NOTE 3 Standards dealing with non-safety aspects of household appliances are:
– IEC standards published by TC 59 concerning methods of measuring performance;
– CISPR 11, CISPR 14-1 and relevant IEC 61000-3 series standards concerning electromagnetic emissions;
– CISPR 14-2 concerning electromagnetic immunity;
– IEC standards published by TC 111 concerning environmental matters.

1 Scope
This clause of Part 1 is replaced by the following.
This part of IEC 60335 deals with the safety of electric deep fat fryers having a recommended
maximum quantity of oil not exceeding 5 l, frying pans, woks and other appliances in which oil
is used for cooking, and intended for household use and similar use, their rated voltage being
not more than 250 V including direct current (DC) supplied appliances and battery-operated
appliance.
Appliances intended for normal household and similar use and that may also be used by laymen
in shops, in light industry and on farms are within the scope of this standard. However, if the
appliance is intended to be used professionally to process food for commercial consumption,
the appliance is not considered to be for household and similar use only.
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.
Attention is drawn to the fact that
– for appliances intended to be used in vehicles or on board ships or aircraft, additional
requirements can 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.
This standard does not apply to
– deep fat fryers for commercial use (IEC 60335-2-37);
– commercial multi-purpose cooking pans (IEC 60335-2-39);
– 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);.
– battery-operated appliances.

This clause of Part 1 is applicable except as follows.
15.101 Appliances intended to be partially or completely immersed in water for cleaning shall
have adequate protection against the effects of immersion.
Compliance is checked by the following tests, which are carried out on three additional
appliances.
The appliances are operated under normal operation at 1,15 times the rated power input,
until the thermostat operates for the first time. Appliances without a thermostat are operated
until steady conditions are established. The appliances are disconnected from the supply, any
appliance connector being withdrawn. They are then completely immersed in water containing
approximately 1 % NaCl and having a temperature between 10 °C and 25 °C, unless they are
marked with the maximum level of immersion, in which case they are immersed 50 mm deeper
than this level.
After 1 h, the appliances are removed from the saline solution. They are then dried, taking care
that all moisture is removed from the insulation around the pins of appliance inlets and are then
subjected to the leakage current test of 16.2.
This test is carried out four more times, after which the appliances shall withstand the electric
strength test of 16.3, the voltage being as specified in Table 4.
The appliance having the highest leakage current after the fifth immersion is dismantled and
inspection shall show that there is no trace of liquid on insulation that could result in a reduction
of clearances and creepage distances below the values specified in Clause 29.
The remaining two appliances are operated under normal operation at 1,15 times the rated
power input for 240 h. After this period, the appliances are disconnected from the supply and
immersed again for 1 h. They are then dried and subjected to the electric strength test of 16.3,
the voltage being as specified in Table 4.
Inspection shall show that there is no trace of liquid on insulation that could result in a reduction
of clearances and creepage distances below the values specified in Clause 29.

Frying pans are not subjected to the tests of 19.4 and 19.5.
19.2 Addition:
Deep fat fryers are filled with oil to a height of 10 mm above the highest point of the bottom of
the container. If the heating element is located in the container, the appliance is filled to a height
of 10 mm above the highest point of the heating element. If the container has an inclined bottom
and a rotating basket, the quantity of oil is 60 % of that required to fill the appliance to the
minimum marked level.
Frying pans are operated without oil in the container.
19.3 Modification:
Frying pans are tested at 1,15 times the rated power input, the thermostat being adjusted to
its highest setting.
19.13 Addition:
The temperature of the oil in deep fat fryers and the temperature at the centre of the heated
surface of frying pans shall not exceed 295 °C. During the tests of 19.2 and 19.3, the
temperature of the oil in deep fat fryers, measured 5 mm below the oil level and at a distance
of not less than 5 mm from any surface inside the container, shall not exceed 265 °C. However,
a temperature of 280 °C is allowed for the first cycle of operation of the thermostat.
A temperature rise of 200 K is allowed for the floor and the walls of the test corner during the
first minute of the test of 19.102.
19.101 Deep fat fryers incorporating a thermal cut-out of the capillary type are tested as
specified in 19.4 but with the capillary tube ruptured.

HOUSEHOLD AND SIMILAR ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES –
SAFETY –
Part 2-13: Particular requirements for deep fat fryers,
frying pans 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.
IEC 60335-2-13 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 61: Safety of household and
similar electrical appliances. It is an International Standard.
This seventh edition cancels and replaces the sixth edition published in 2009 and
Amendment 1:2016. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition:
a) the text has been aligned with IEC 60335-1:2020;
b) some notes have been converted to normative text (Clause 1, 5.2, 5.101, 7.12, 15.101,
22.35, 24.1.5);
c) exclusion of battery-operated appliances (Clause 1);
d) an additional test has been introduced to limit the temperature rise of external accessible
surfaces including marking of hot surfaces (Clause 7, Clause 11).

The text of this International Standard is based on the following documents:
Draft Report on voting
61/6381/FDIS 61/6431/RVD
Full information on the voting for its approval can be found in the report on voting indicated in
the above table.
The language used for the development of this International Standard is English.
This document was drafted in accordance with ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2, and developed in
accordance with ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1 and ISO/IEC Directives, IEC Supplement, available
at www.iec.ch/members_experts/refdocs. The main document types developed by IEC are
described in greater detail at www.iec.ch/standardsdev/publications.
A list of all parts in the IEC 60335 series, published under the general title Household and
similar electrical appliances – Safety, can be found on the IEC website.
This Part 2 is to be used in conjunction with the latest edition of IEC 60335-1 and its

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: Particular requirements for deep fat fryers, frying pans
and similar appliances.
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 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;
− 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

The committee has decided that the contents of this document will remain unchanged until the
stability date indicated on the IEC website under webstore.iec.ch in the data related to the
specific document. At this date, the document 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.

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.
Guidance documents concerning the application of the safety requirements for appliances can
be accessed via TC 61 supporting documents on the IEC website
https://www.iec.ch/tc61/supportingdocuments
This information is given for the convenience of users of this International Standard and does
not constitute a replacement for the normative text in this standard.
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 publications, basic safety publications and group safety publications 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.
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.
NOTE 3 Standards dealing with non-safety aspects of household appliances are:
– IEC standards published by TC 59 concerning methods of measuring performance;
– CISPR 11, CISPR 14-1 and relevant IEC 61000-3 series standards concerning electromagnetic emissions;
– CISPR 14-2 concerning electromagnetic immunity;
– IEC standards published by TC 111 concerning environmental matters.

HOUSEHOLD AND SIMILAR ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES –
SAFETY –
Part 2-13: Particular requirements for deep fat fryers,
frying pans and similar appliances

1 Scope
This clause of Part 1 is replaced by the following.
This part of IEC 60335 deals with the safety of electric deep fat fryers having a recommended
maximum quantity of oil not exceeding 5 l, frying pans, woks and other appliances in which oil
is used for cooking, and intended for household use and similar use, their rated voltage being
not more than 250 V.
Appliances intended for normal household and similar use and that may also be used by laymen
in shops, in light industry and on farms are within the scope of this standard. However, if the
appliance is intended to be used professionally to process food for commercial consumption,
the appliance is not considered to be for household and similar use only.
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.
Attention is drawn to the fact that
– for appliances intended to be used in vehicles or on board ships or aircraft, additional
requirements can 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.
This standard does not apply to
– deep fat fryers for commercial use (IEC 60335-2-37);
– commercial multi-purpose cooking pans (IEC 60335-2-39);
– 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);
– battery-operated appliances.

11.3 Addition:
Where the external accessible surfaces are suitably flat and access permits, then the test
probe of Figure 101 is used to measure the temperature rises of external accessible surfaces
specified in Table 101. The probe is applied with a force of 4 N ± 1 N to the surface in such a
way that the best possible contact between the probe and the surface is ensured. The
measurement is performed after a contact period of 30 s.
The probe may be held in place using a laboratory stand clamp or similar device. Any measuring
instrument giving the same results as the probe may be used.
The temperature rise of the oil in deep fat fryers is determined by means of thermocouples
attached to disks of copper or brass, 15 mm in diameter and 1 mm thick.
11.7 Replacement:
Appliances are operated until steady conditions are established.
11.8 Addition:
The temperature of the oil in deep fat fryers and similar appliances is measured at least 10 mm
from the wall of the container and 10 mm above the bottom. However, the temperature is
measured 10 mm above the highest point of heating elements if they are located in the
container. The temperature shall not exceed 225 °C, except that a temperature of 243 °C is
allowed for the first cycle of operation of the thermostat.
The temperature rise of parts of deep fat fryers likely to be contacted by spilt oil shall not exceed
275 K.
When an appliance connector incorporates a thermostat, the temperature rise limit for the pins
of the inlet does not apply.
After the appliance has cooled down to room temperature, the test is repeated with the
appliance supplied at rated power input.
During this repeat test, the temperature rise of surfaces shall not exceed the values specified
in Table 101.

– 14 – IEC 60335-2-13:2021 © IEC 2021
The appliances are operated under normal operation at 1,15 times the rated power input,
until the thermostat operates for the first time. Appliances without a thermostat are operated
until steady conditions are established. The appliances are disconnected from the supply, any
appliance connector being withdrawn. They are then completely immersed in water containing
approximately 1 % NaCl and having a temperature between 10 °C and 25 °C, unless they are
marked with the maximum level of immersion, in which case they are immersed 50 mm deeper
than this level.
After 1 h, the appliances are removed from the saline solution. They are then dried, taking care
that all moisture is removed from the insulation around the pins of appliance inlets and are then
subjected to the leakage current test of 16.2.
This test is carried out four more times, after which the appliances shall withstand the electric
strength test of 16.3, the voltage being as specified in Table 4.
The appliance having the highest leakage current after the fifth immersion is dismantled and
inspection shall show that there is no trace of liquid on insulation that could result in a reduction
of clearances and creepage distances below the values specified in Clause 29.
The remaining two appliances are operated under normal operation at 1,15 times the rated
power input for 240 h. After this period, the appliances are disconnected from the supply and
immersed again for 1 h. They are then dried and subjected to the electric strength test of 16.3,
the voltage being as specified in Table 4.
Inspection shall show that there is no trace of liquid on insulation that could result in a reduction
of clearances and creepage distances below the values specified in Clause 29.
