AS/NZS 60335.2.25:2011 (IEC TEXT) PDF Download

A standard known as AS/NZS 60335.2.25:2011 (IEC Text) outlines the safety criteria for microwave ovens, including combination microwave ovens, designed for use in homes and other settings. It is based on IEC 60335-2-25's sixth edition, with adjustments made to it for Australian and New Zealand circumstances.

Together with AS/NZS 60335.1, which specifies general safety criteria for home electrical appliances, this standard must be applied. As/NZS 60335.2.25:2011's national modifications to the original IEC standard take into account the unique safety requirements for appliances used in Australia and New Zealand.

This standard aims to safeguard consumers from potential risks such as electric shock, fire, and mechanical injury by ensuring the safe operation of microwave ovens. It covers topics like heating elements, safety interlocks, mechanical strength, electrical insulation, and protective features. To guarantee that their products meet the essential safety requirements before they can be lawfully supplied in Australia and New Zealand, manufacturers and importers must comply with this standard.
