AS/NZS 60335.2.14:2017 PDF Download

The AS/NZS 60335.2.14:2017 standard is focused on ensuring the safety of electric kitchen appliances with a rated voltage of up to 250 volts used in homes and other comparable situations. For numerous kitchen appliances such as bean slicers, blenders, can openers, juicers, food processors, and more, the standard specifies specific specifications. Although these devices are designed for everyday household usage, average people can also use them in stores, light industry, and farms.

It is crucial to understand that an appliance is not just considered for household and similar uses when it is designed for professional use in food processing for commercial consumption. The guideline also recognizes that using kitchen appliances on a bed and breakfast property still counts as domestic use.

The standard aims to address the common risks connected with these appliances, but it does not fully take into account people, particularly children, whose physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, lack of experience, or lack of knowledge may prevent them from using the appliance safely without supervision or instruction. The usage of appliances in automobiles, ships, and aircraft, as well as certain laws enforced by national health and labor authorities, may necessitate additional requirements.
