BS EN 13750:2002 PDF Download

A home water kettle that is used on top of a stove, cooker, or hob must comply with the standards and testing procedures specified in the European standard known as BS EN 13750:2002. The safety and performance qualities of these kettles are the main concerns of the standard. It applies to all kettle types, regardless of the components or production process.

It's crucial to remember that electric kettles are expressly not included in this standard. In order to ensure the use of these kettles in a safe and effective manner, the standard specifies the requirements and criteria that they must satisfy. The requirements of the standard address a number of topics, including the kettle's capacity, thermal performance, materials, and stability when placed on a stove or other cooking surface.

Additionally, BS EN 13750:2002 contains test procedures that enable producers and regulatory bodies to judge whether kettles adhere to the standard. These testing procedures evaluate the kettle's ability to handle mechanical stresses, its resistance to heat and pressure, and its general ability to boil water effectively and safely.
