Scope

This clause of Part 1 is applicable except as follows: 1.1 Replacement: This standard applies to cooking ranges, separate stationary ovens and grills, cooking tables, table cookers, hob elements, grills and griddles which form part of cooking ranges, and ovens and grills for building-in, all intended for household use. Self-cleaning ovens, including those of the pyrolytic type, separate ovens for building-in and cooking tables for building-in are within the scope of this standard. The electrical part of appliances supplied with energy other than electric is also within the scope of this standard. This standard does not take into account the special hazards which exist in nurseries and other places where there are young children or aged or infirm persons without supervision; in such cases, additional requirements may be necessary. This standard does not apply to: - portable ovens and portable grills, which are covered by a separate Part 2; - mains-operated electric toys, which are covered by a separate Part 2; - microwave cooking appliances, which are covered by a separate Part 2. For appliances intended to be used in vehicles or on board ships or aircraft, additional requirements may be necessary. For appliances intended to be used in tropical countries, special requirements may be necessary. Attention is drawn to the fact that in many countries additional requirements are specified by the national health authorities and the national authorities responsible for the protection of labour. For appliances having parts supplied with gas, the relevant safety requirements are specified in EN 30. Additional requirements for electric ignition devices are under consideration.
