The International Electrotechnical Commission has released the 7th edition of IEC 60335-2-14:2025, Safety of Household and Similar Electrical Appliances Part 2: Special Requirements for Kitchen Machinery.

In February 2025, the International Electrotechnical Commission released the 7th edition of IEC 60335-2-14:2025, Safety of Household and Similar Electrical Appliances Part 2: Special Requirements for Kitchen Machinery.

Compared with the previous version, the newly released 7th edition of IEC 60335-2-14: 2025 has added, changed, and replaced many key technical points. This time, only the technical points with significant changes were compared.

The main technical additions and changes to this standard are as follows:

1. The standard version has been changed to be used in conjunction with the 6th edition of IEC 60335-1:2020.

2. The standard scope specifies products that are not suitable for children's use, and adds battery powered appliances that do not exceed 250VDC.

3. Add TC 61 guidance document 61/6234/INF usage, guide power and normal temperature rise load, testing time, testing cycle.

4. The product Berry juice extractors have been changed to Auger juicers, adding a definition of Auger juicer utensil types.

5. Add instruction manual requirements:

Products that are not suitable for children's use should be accompanied by warning messages stating that they cannot be used by children.
For appliances with rated capacity, unless marked on the appliance, their rated capacity should be stated in the instructions for use.
For multifunctional appliances, the nominal rated power can be based on the corresponding function or the most severe power.

6. The standard specifies the product categories that are not suitable for children's use, and the assessment of live and moving parts does not need to consider the use of test finger 18.

7. Except for the product categories specified in section 7.12 that are not suitable for children, the standard usage test refers to the condition of B inspection, and all test refers to 18 rechecks.

8. Increase the assessment of surface temperature rise in Table 101.

9. Add requirements for the normal temperature rise test time of programs, clocks, and remote control products, and increase the normal temperature rise test conditions for battery powered appliances.

10. Increase the Chopping function and the normal temperature rise time and cycle requirements for latte type peekers products.

11. Increase the charging requirements for metal ion batteries.

12. Clarify that the overflow test of Cordless blenders is conducted using 1% NaCl and 0.6% rinse solution.

13. Add overflow testing requirements for products with detachable gaskets.

14. The motor stalling test requires additional testing time for battery powered products with remote control and manual switch status.

15. Electronic interlock switches require additional component open/short circuit abnormality testing, electromagnetic compatibility testing, and software evaluation if they are controlled by programmable chips.

16. Add bias switch requirements for Knives appliances.

17. The special requirements for the structure of Food processors have been changed to products with accessible moving parts.

18. Handheld products, products with touchable moving parts, and products that require further user interaction cannot use remote control or delayed start.

19. Remote control requirements:

The Off switch on the product has a higher priority than the remote switch.
The working hours must be set before the product is launched.
The product requires operation to enter remote control mode, and there should be visual display on the product in remote control mode.

20. Add the measurement method for the feeding port size in Figure 104.

Kind reminder:

At present, only the IEC version of IEC 60335-2-14 has been updated, and other countries such as Europe, Australia, Japan, and South Korea have deviations that have not been synchronized with IEC 60335-2-14: 2025. Therefore, products that have been certified still need to be assessed according to the old version, 6th edition. If CB is issued and subsequent consideration is given to certificate transfer, two versions of assessment are required.
