The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) has recently published the standard IEC 60335-2-31-EXV-CMV:2024, titled "Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety - Part 2-31: Specific requirements for range hoods and other grease extractors". This standard serves as a crucial guideline for manufacturers, designers, and users of such appliances to ensure safety and compliance with international standards. It provides detailed specifications and tests for the design, manufacture, and operation of these devices to prevent electrical hazards and mechanical injuries.
The document covers various aspects including insulation requirements, heating and live parts protection, motor circuit integrity, and environmental considerations. Additionally, it outlines specific testing procedures to validate the appliance's compliance with safety norms set by IEC 60335-1:2018, which is the primary standard for household appliances.
Manufacturers are advised to review this document thoroughly as they develop or modify products that fall under its scope. Compliance not only ensures product safety but also helps in gaining market acceptance and trust among consumers globally.
