Part 2-14: Particular requirements for kitchen machines

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. IEC
shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
IEC 60335-2-14 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 61: Safety of household and
similar electrical appliances. It is an International Standard.

Draft Report on voting
61/7347/FDIS 61/7384/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/publications.
A list of all parts of the IEC 60335 series, 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
amendments unless that edition precludes it; in that case, the latest edition that does not
preclude it is used. It was established on the basis of the sixth edition (2020) of that standard.
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: Safety requirements for kitchen machines.

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
associated noun are also in bold.
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, or
• revised.
NOTE 4 The attention of National Committees is drawn to the fact that equipment manufacturers and testing
organizations can 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 can 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 2-14: Particular requirements for kitchen machines

1 Scope
This clause of Part 1 is replaced with the following.
This part of IEC 60335 deals with the safety of electric kitchen machines for household and
similar purposes, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V including direct current (DC)
supplied appliances and battery-operated appliances.
Examples of appliances that are within the scope of this standard are
– bean slicers;
– auger juicers;
– blenders;
– can openers;
– centrifugal juicers;
– churns;
– citrus-fruit squeezers;
– coffee mills not exceeding a hopper rated capacity of 500 g;
– cream whippers;
– egg beaters;
– food mixers;
– food processors;
– grain grinders not exceeding a hopper rated capacity of 3 l;
– graters;
– ice-cream machines, including those for use in refrigerators and freezers;
– knife sharpeners;
– knives;
– mincers;
– noodle makers;
– peelers;
– shredders;
– sieving machines;
– slicing machines.
Appliances intended for normal household and similar use and that can also be used by
laypersons in shops, in light industry, bed and breakfast 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
which 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.
It does not take into account the use of the following appliances by children:
– bean slicers;
– blenders including hand-held blenders;
– juicers other than citrus-fruit squeezers;
– food mixers;
– food processors;
– knives;
– mincers;
– noodle makers;
– lathe-type or hand-held peelers;
– vegetable graters/shredders;
– slicing machines.
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
– slicing machines having a circular knife the blade of which is inclined at an angle exceeding
45° to the vertical;
– breadmakers (IEC 60335-2-9);
– soy milk makers (IEC 60335-2-15);
– food waste disposers (IEC 60335-2-16);
– ice-cream appliances with incorporated motor compressors (IEC 60335-2-24);
– kitchen machines intended for commercial purposes (IEC 60335-2-64);
– kitchen machines intended for industrial purposes;
– kitchen machines intended to be used in locations where special conditions prevail, such as
the presence of a corrosive or explosive atmosphere (dust, vapour or gas).

3.1.9 Modification:
Replace the first paragraph with the following:
operation of the appliance under the conditions specified in 3.1.9.101 to 3.1.9.119 and operation
with the most unfavourable load indicated in the instructions
Note 101 to entry: Operation per the instructions is not necessary for appliances operated without load in
accordance with 3.1.9.119.
Note 102 to entry: A guidance document (61/6234/INF) concerning the application of 3.1.9, Clause 10 and
Clause 11 can be accessed via TC 61 supporting documents on the IEC website.
3.1.9.101 Auger juicers are fed with 1 kg of berries, such as currants, gooseberries or grapes.
Pushers are pressed with a force of 5 N against the berries.
3.1.9.102 Food blenders are operated with the bowl filled to the rated capacity with a mixture
comprising two parts by mass of soaked carrots and three parts water. If the rated capacity is
not specified, the bowl is filled to two-thirds of its total capacity. The carrots are soaked in
water for 24 h and cut so that the dimensions of the pieces do not exceed 15 mm. If the bowl is
not provided, a cylindrical bowl is used which has a total capacity of approximately 1 l and an
inner diameter of approximately 110 mm.
Liquid blenders are operated with water instead of the mixture.
3.1.9.103 Can openers are operated with cans of tinned steel having a diameter of
approximately 100 mm.
3.1.9.104 Juicers are operated with carrots that have been soaked in water for approximately
24 h. 5 kg of soaked carrots are gradually fed into juicers having separate outlets for the juice
and residue. Other juicers are fed with batches of 0,5 kg of carrots, unless otherwise indicated
in the instructions. Pushers are pressed with a force of 5 N against the carrots.
3.1.9.105 Cheese graters are operated with a 250 g piece of hard Parmesan cheese selected
from a block of cheese about 16 months old and which has at least one plane surface. A force
of 10 N is applied to the cheese unless the force is applied automatically.

3.1.9.106 Churns are filled with a mixture of eight parts by mass of heavy cream and one part
of buttermilk. The quantity of the mixture is the maximum that allows the churn to operate
without spillage.
3.1.9.107 Citrus-fruit squeezers are operated with orange halves pressed against the reamer
with a force of 50 N.
3.1.9.108 Coffee mills having a separate container for collecting the ground coffee are
operated with the hopper filled with roasted coffee beans.
Other coffee mills are operated with the hopper filled with the maximum quantity of roasted
coffee beans stated in the instructions.
Note 1 to entry: If necessary, the coffee beans are conditioned for 24 h at a temperature of 30 °C ± 2 °C and a
relative humidity of 60 % ± 2 %.
Controls are set to the position resulting in the smallest grain size.
3.1.9.109 Cream whippers and egg beaters are operated in water with 80 % of the length of
the effective part immersed in a bowl of water.
3.1.9.110 Food mixers with beaters for mixing cake batter are operated with the beater blades
as close as possible to the bottom of a bowl containing dry sand having a grain size between
170 μm and 250 μm. The height of the sand in the bowl is approximately 80 % of the length of
the effective part of the beater.
Food mixers with kneaders for mixing yeast dough are operated with the kneaders in a bowl
filled with a mixture of flour and water.
Note 1 to entry: The flour has a protein content of 10 % ± 1 %, based on a negligible water content of the flour and
without chemical additives.
Note 2 to entry: In case of doubt, the flour is more than two weeks but less than four months old. It is stored in
plastic bags with as little air as possible.
The bowl is filled with a mass of flour in grams equal to 35 % of its total capacity in cm , 72 g
of water at a temperature of 25 °C ± 1 °C being added for each 100 g of flour.
Note 3 to entry: In case of doubt, the quantity of water is 1,2 times that necessary for the consistency of the mixture
to be 500 Brabender units at 29 °C ± 1 °C, measured using a farinograph.
For hand-held food mixers, the kneaders are moved in a figure-of-eight movement at a rate
of 10 to 15 movements per minute. The food mixer is held so that the kneaders touch the wall
of the bowl at opposite points and are in contact with the bottom of the bowl. If a bowl is not
provided, a bowl is used that has a height of approximately 130 mm and an inner diameter of
approximately 170 mm at the top, tapering down to approximately 150 mm at the bottom. Its
inner surface is smooth and the wall and bottom blend smoothly.
3.1.9.111 Food processors are operated using the load which results in the most
unfavourable conditions as follows:
– If provided with grating, slicing or shredding blades, they are operated as specified for
vegetable graters and shredders (3.1.9.118) and cheese graters (3.1.9.105);
– If provided with chopping blades, they are operated with each of the following loads filled to
the rated capacity or the maximum quantity recommended in the instructions for the
specified food load, whichever is less:
• raw sinewless, boneless and fatless beef;
• hard Parmesan cheese selected from a block of cheese about 16 months old;

– 12 – IEC 60335-2-14:2025 © IEC 2025
– If provided with mixing blades, they are operated as specified for:
• food mixers for mixing cake batter (3.1.9.110) when the food processor is not intended
to mix yeast dough. However, the sand is filled to the rated capacity or the maximum
quantity recommended in the instructions for the mixing blade, whichever is less;
• food mixers with kneaders for mixing yeast dough when the food processor is intended
to mix yeast dough. However, the setting of the control and quantity of the mixture is the
maximum stated in the instructions. If an accessory rotating at high speed is used to
prepare the dough, only 60 g of water is used for each 100 g of flour.
Note 1 to entry: In case of doubt when using an accessory rotating at high speed, the quantity of water is that
necessary for the consistency of the mixture to be 500 Brabender units at 29 °C ± 1 °C, measured using a
farinograph.
Note 2 to entry: The maximum quantity of the mixture may be specified by the maximum amount of flour.
Food loads are prepared prior to processing as recommended in the instruction manual,
including cutting to a specified size, peeling, and chilling in the refrigerator or freezer. If no
preparation instructions are provided, the foods are cut into pieces as needed to fit within the
bowl or feed opening.
For a multispeed appliance, if the instructions recommend processing of certain food loads at
other than the highest speed, they are processed at the recommended speed.
3.1.9.112 Grain grinders are operated with the hopper filled with wheat and controls being set

3.1.9.114 Knives are operated by slicing a length of hard sausage when measuring the power
input. The sausage is approximately 55 mm in diameter and cut into slices approximately 5 mm
thick, a force of approximately 10 N being applied to the knife. The sausage is stored for at
least 4 h at a temperature of 23 °C ± 2 °C before slicing.
Note 1 to entry: An example of a hard sausage is salami.
For the other tests, knives are operated with the cutting edge of the blade pressed against a
length of soft wood having a cross-section approximately 50 mm × 100 mm. A force is gradually
applied to the knife until the power input measured when cutting the sausage is obtained.
3.1.9.115 Mincers are fed with sinewless, boneless and fatless beef that has been cut into
pieces approximately 20 mm × 20 mm × 60 mm. Pushers are pressed with a force of 5 N
against the meat.
A brake may be used to apply the mean value of the load that is determined by mincing the
meat for 2 min.
3.1.9.116 Noodle makers without a mixing function are fed with dough prepared from 225 g
wheat flour, 1 egg (approximately 55 g), 15 ml cooking oil and 45 ml water. Pushers are pressed
with a force of 5 N against the dough.
Noodle makers with a mixing function are fed with wheat flour and water in turn, 32 g water
being used for each 100 g of wheat flour unless the instructions specify a more severe mixture.
The quantity of the mixture is the maximum stated in the instructions.
3.1.9.117 Potato peelers of the container type are operated filled with water and potatoes.
5 kg of approximately spherical potatoes are used, each kilogram containing 12 to 15 potatoes.
Hand-held peelers and lathe-type peelers are operated by peeling potatoes.
3.1.9.118 Vegetable graters and shredders are operated with carrots that have been soaked
in water for approximately 24 h and cut into suitable pieces. Five batches, each containing
0,5 kg of soaked carrots, are used. Pushers are pressed with a force of 5 N against the carrots.
3.1.9.119 Bean slicers, knife sharpeners, sieving machines and slicing machines are operated
without load.
