Kitchens and electric appliances in the household are prone to fire or short circuits at any time. The safety requirements need to be studied for a safer surrounding.
BS EN 50615 has been prepared to provide a means of conforming to essential safety requirements of the Low Voltage Directive 2006/95/EC. Other requirements and other EU Directives may apply to the devices within the scope of BS EN 50615. BS EN 50615 applies in conjunction with EN 60335-1:2012 and its amendments, which are referred to in this text as “Part 1”. BS EN 50615 supplements or modifies the corresponding clauses of Part 1 as indicated in the text.
BS EN 50615 on Particular requirements for devices for fire prevention and suppression for cooktops is useful for:
BS EN 50615 is a product family standard dealing with the safety of devices for fire prevention and suppression for hobs (cooktops).
BS EN 50615 recognizes the level of protection against fire hazards of stationary cooking ranges, hobs, and similar appliances.
A device for fire prevention and suppression for hobs (cooktops) that complies with the text of BS EN 50615 will not necessarily be considered to comply with the safety principles of the standard if, when examined and tested, it is found to have other features that impair the level of safety covered by these requirements. BS EN 50615 takes into account the requirements of the HD 384 Series as far as possible so that there is compatibility with the wiring rules when the device is connected to the supply mains. However, national wiring rules may differ.
BS EN 50615 guidelines help you in providing better quality products with better safety measures.
