This European Standard deals with the safety of electric deep fat fryers having a recommended
maximum quantity of oil not exceeding 5 l, frying pans, woks and other appliances in which oil is used
for cooking, and intended for household use and similar use, their rated voltage being not more than
250 V.

Appliances intended to be used by laymen in shops and other premises for normal housekeeping
purposes, are within the scope of this European Standard.

– 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
