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 provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
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.

International Standard IEC 60335-2-14 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 61:
Safety of household and similar electrical appliances.
This consolidated version of IEC 60335-2-14 consists of the fifth edition (2006) [documents
61/2995/FDIS and 61/3050/RVD] and its amendment 1 (2008) [documents 61/3649/FDIS and
61/3689/RVD].
The technical content is therefore identical to the base edition and its amendment and has
been prepared for user convenience.
It bears the edition number 5.1.
A vertical line in the margin shows where the base publication has been modified by
amendment 1.
– 4 – 60335-2-14 © IEC:2006+A1:2008
The principal changes in this edition as compared with the fourth edition of IEC 60335-2-14
are as follows (minor changes are not listed):
– clarifies criteria for determining "normal household and similar use" (Scope);
– adds definitions, marking and test criteria for blenders and cordless blenders (3.105,
3.106, 7.1, 7.12, 11.7.103, 15.2, 15.101, 20.103, 20.104, 20.118, 20.119, 22.103,
Figure 103)
– clarifies the "class" rating for hand-held kitchen machines (6.1);
– adds tests for sieves of centrifugal juicers (20.117, Annex AA);
– clarifies criteria for determining "accidental operation" (20.103, 20.109, 20.115).
This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
This part 2 is to be used in conjunction with the latest edition of IEC 60335-1 and its
amendments. It was established on the basis of the fourth edition (2001) 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 electric 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 following differences exist in the countries indicated below.
– 3.1.9: Different loads are used (USA).
– 6.1: Hand-held kitchen machines shall be class II or class III. Other machines shall be class I, class II or
class III (France, Netherlands and Norway).

The committee has decided that the contents of the base publication and its amendments will
remain unchanged until the maintenance result date indicated on the IEC web site under
"http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data related to the specific publication. At this date,
the publication 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 the amendment 1 be adopted for implementation
nationally not earlier than 12 months or later than 36 months from the date of publication.

– 6 – 60335-2-14 © IEC:2006+A1:2008
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.
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 and generic standards 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. For
example, in the case of temperature requirements for surfaces on many appliances, generic standards, such as
ISO 13732-1 for hot surfaces, are not applicable in addition to Part 1 or part 2 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.

commercial consumption, the appliance is not considered to be for household and similar use
only.
NOTE 102 Use of a kitchen machine in a bed and breakfast premises, for example, is considered to be household
use.
– 8 – 60335-2-14 © IEC:2006+A1:2008
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.
NOTE 103 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 104 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;
– 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);

during the test of 10.1 differs from the rated power input by more than
• –20 % for appliances having a rated power input not exceeding 300 W;
• –15 % (or –60 W if greater) for appliances having a rated power input exceeding 300 W.
3.1.9.101 Berry-juice extractors 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 its maximum indicated level
with a mixture comprising two parts by mass of soaked carrots and three parts water. If this
level is not indicated, 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 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 Centrifugal 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 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.

– 10 – 60335-2-14 © IEC:2006+A1:2008
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 The flour has a protein content of (10 ± 1) %, based on a negligible water content of the flour and without
chemical additives.
NOTE 2 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 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 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 kneaders are to touch the wall of the bowl at opposite
points and be 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 as specified for food mixers with kneaders for
mixing yeast dough. However, the 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 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 If instructions for mixing yeast dough are not provided, the food processor is operated using the recipe
which results in the most unfavourable conditions.
3.1.9.112 Grain grinders are operated with the hopper filled with wheat, controls being set to
the position resulting in the smallest grain size.
NOTE 1 If necessary, the wheat is conditioned for 24 h at a temperature of 30 °C ± 2 °C and a relative humidity of
(60 ± 2) %.
NOTE 2 Corn is used instead of wheat when instructions state that it can be ground.
3.1.9.113 Ice-cream machines are operated with a mixture of 60 % water, 30 % sugar, 5 %
lemon juice and 5 % beaten egg white by mass. The quantity of the mixture is the maximum
stated in the instructions. If there is no stated maximum, the container will be filled up to the
maximum capacity.
Removable elements for cooling ice cream are pre-cooled for 24 h at –20 °C ± 5 °C.
For appliances cooled by ice, the cooling container is filled with ice in accordance with the
instructions, 200 g of salt being added for each kg of ice.
Ice-cream machines for use in refrigerators and freezers are placed on thermal insulating
material approximately 20 mm thick. They are operated without load at an ambient
temperature of –4 °C ± 1 °C.
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.

60335-2-14 © IEC:2006+A1:2008 – 11 –
NOTE Salami is a suitable hard sausage.
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 x 20 mm x 60 mm. Pushers are pressed with a force of 5 N
against the meat.
NOTE 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 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.
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 potato 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

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) 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.

International Standard IEC 60335-2-14 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 61:
Safety of household and similar electrical appliances.
This consolidated version of IEC 60335-2-14 consists of the fifth edition (2006) [documents
61/2995/FDIS and 61/3050/RVD], its amendment 1 (2008) [documents 61/3649/FDIS and
61/3689/RVD] and its amendment 2 (2012) [documents 61/4449/FDIS and 61/4502/RVD].
The technical content is therefore identical to the base edition and its amendments and has
been prepared for user convenience.
It bears the edition number 5.2.
A vertical line in the margin shows where the base publication has been modified by
amendments 1 and 2.
– 4 – 60335-2-14  IEC:2006+A1:2008
+A2:2012
The principal changes in this edition as compared with the fourth edition of IEC 60335-2-14
are as follows (minor changes are not listed):
– clarifies criteria for determining "normal household and similar use" (Scope);
– adds definitions, marking and test criteria for blenders and cordless blenders (3.105,
3.106, 7.1, 7.12, 11.7.103, 15.2, 15.101, 20.103, 20.104, 20.118, 20.119, 22.103,
Figure 103)
– clarifies the "class" rating for hand-held kitchen machines (6.1);
– adds tests for sieves of centrifugal juicers (20.117, Annex AA);
– clarifies criteria for determining "accidental operation" (20.103, 20.109, 20.115).
This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
This part 2 is to be used in conjunction with the latest edition of IEC 60335-1 and its
amendments. It was established on the basis of the fourth edition (2001) 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 electric 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 following differences exist in the countries indicated below.
– 3.1.9: Different loads are used (USA).
– 6.1: Hand-held kitchen machines shall be class II or class III. Other machines shall be class I, class II or
class III (France, Netherlands and Norway).
– 11.7: The operating times are different (USA).
– 19.7: The test is applicable to all appliances and the tests of 19.101 and 19.102 are not applicable (USA).
– 20.108: The guarding requirements are different and warnings may be marked on the appliance instead
(USA).
– 20.110 Larger openings are allowed but the cutting blades shall be located further away from the openings
(USA).
– 20.112: The stopping time allowed is 4 s (Brazil, Canada and USA).
– 25.5: Type Z attachment is allowed for all appliances (USA).
– 25.7: PVC cords are not allowed for ice-cream machines in refrigerators (Norway).

The committee has decided that the contents of the base publication and its amendments will
remain unchanged until the stability date indicated on the IEC web site under
"http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data related to the specific publication. At this date, the
publication 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.
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 and generic standards 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. For
example, in the case of temperature requirements for surfaces on many appliances, generic standards, such as
ISO 13732-1 for hot surfaces, are not applicable in addition to Part 1 or part 2 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.

use.
– 8 – 60335-2-14  IEC:2006+A1:2008
+A2:2012
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.
NOTE 103 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 104 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;
– food waste disposers (IEC 60335-2-16);

3.1.9. For example
• the period in 11.7.104 is obtained using the load in 3.1.9.103;
• the period in 11.7.106 is obtained using the load in 3.1.9.105;
• the period in 11.7.108 is obtained using the load in 3.1.9.108;
• the period in 11.7.111 is obtained using the load in 3.1.9.111 (for food processors when instructions for
mixing yeast dough are not provided);
• the period in 11.7.112 is obtained using the load in 3.1.9.112;
• the period in 11.7.116 is obtained using the load in 3.1.9.117 (for other than hand-held potatoe peelers);
• the period in 11.7.117 is obtained using the load in 3.1.9.118.
NOTE 2 When using rated power input as the load (as per 3.1.9 Note 103) and if instructions for mixing yeast
dough are provided, the number of cycles to be applied in 11.7.111 is found by first ascertaining the number of
cycles necessary to process at least 1 kg of flour using the load in 3.1.9.111.
If this period exceeds that stated in the instructions and if the temperature rise limits of
Table 3 are exceeded, then an alternative test is carried out as follows:
The test is carried out for the number of cycles specified in this clause and using the
maximum quantity of the load to be processed stated in the instructions
– for operating periods specified in this clause not exceeding 7 min, the maximum period
stated in the instructions plus 1 min or 7 min whichever is less;
– for operating periods specified in this clause exceeding 7 min, the maximum period stated
in the instructions or 7 min whichever is greater.
This procedure only applies if the power input measured in 10.1 using the maximum quantity
of the load to be processed stated in the instructions is not less than that obtained when using
the appropriate load specified in 3.1.9.101 to 3.1.9.119.
