Overview

The European Standard oSIST prEN IEC 60335-2-16:2024/oprAA:2024 focuses on the safety requirements for household and similar electrical appliances, specifically food waste disposers. This standard is developed by CLC/TC 61 (Safety of household and similar electrical appliances) to address the particular hazards and operational aspects of food waste disposers commonly used in domestic kitchens.

This draft amendment supplements the Part 2-16 requirements of the IEC 60335 series and harmonizes safety guidelines under European legislation, including the Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU. It ensures manufacturers and stakeholders comply with stringent safety, construction, and operational criteria to minimize risks.

Key Topics

  • Safety Scope: Covers reasonably foreseeable hazards for all users, while recognizing additional needs for people with disabilities which may not be fully addressed.
  • Markings and Instructions: Emphasizes clear labeling and detailed operating and maintenance instructions, including safe repair guidelines to be performed only by competent persons.
  • Construction Requirements: Prohibits features like remote operation or delayed start timers to eliminate potential hazards. Appliances must not operate continuously in a way that could lead to unsafe conditions.
  • Resistance to Rusting: Specific clauses from Part 1 are modified to reflect this amendment's applicability.
  • National Variations: Highlights installation permissions and restrictions by country, such as bans in Germany and special sewage considerations in Finland and the Netherlands.
  • Compliance with EU Directives: Provides presumption of conformity with the Low Voltage Directive and radio equipment regulation within the scope of the appliance.
  • Amendment Processing: Open for member comments until August 2024 with intended implementation timelines.

Applications

This standard is vital for manufacturers, importers, and distributors of food waste disposers used in residential and similar settings. It guides product design, testing, and documentation to ensure:

  • Enhanced user safety, preventing electrical, mechanical, and operational hazards.
  • Clear user guidance on appliance use, maintenance, accident procedures, and safe repairs.
  • Regulatory compliance with European Union safety laws and harmonized standards.
  • Risk mitigation specific to food waste disposal systems in kitchens, promoting safety in both typical and foreseeable misuse scenarios.

By adhering to these requirements, stakeholders can confidently place food waste disposers on the European market and protect consumers from injury or appliance malfunction.

Related Standards

  • EN IEC 60335-1:2023 +A11:2023: General safety requirements for household and similar electrical appliances.
  • EN 60584-1:2013: Thermocouples electromotive force specifications relevant to appliance temperature monitoring.
  • Directive 2014/35/EU (Low Voltage Directive): Governs electrical safety compliance within the EU market.
  • Directive 2014/53/EU (Radio Equipment Directive): Applies where appliance radio features exist.
  • National Standards and Regulations: Country-specific regulations impacting installation and use, notably within Austria, Germany, Finland, and others.

Practical Value

Compliance with oSIST prEN IEC 60335-2-16:2024/oprAA:2024 ensures food waste disposers are designed and manufactured to meet the highest safety standards, addressing:

  • Operational safety to reduce electrical hazards and mechanical failures.
  • Clear operational instructions and maintenance procedures for end-users and professionals.
  • National and European regulations alignment, minimizing market entry barriers.
  • Adaptability to user diversity, with special recognition of people with disabilities’ needs.

This evolving standard plays a crucial role in enhancing domestic safety concerning food waste disposal technology, fostering innovation, and regulatory trust across European markets.
