As far as is practicable, this European Standard deals with the common hazards presented by appliances
that are encountered by all persons in household and similar environments.
However, in general, it does not take into account
– children playing with the appliance,
– the use of the appliance by very young children without supervision,
– user maintenance by children, including the cleaning of the appliance.
It is recognized that very vulnerable people may have needs beyond the level addressed in this
European Standard.
