In modern domestic and commercial kitchens, blenders have become an essential kitchen tool. Whether you're making pastries, stirring soups, or whipping cream, the role of a blender is not to be overlooked. However, when buying agitators, do we know about their quality standards and safety certifications.
CE certification is a necessary certification for the circulation of electrical products such as agitators in the EU market, which ensures that agitators meet European safety, health and environmental protection requirements. So, according to which EN standards are agitators tested?
First of all, according to the EN 60335-1:2012+A11 standard, agitators must meet the safety requirements for household and similar electrical appliances. This standard specifies in detail the design requirements of electrical products, the requirements for use, the safety of power connections and leads, anti-static protection, and the fire performance of housing materials. When conducting the test, the agitator will be subjected to electrical performance tests, mechanical property tests and fire performance tests, etc.
Secondly, according to EN 60335-2-14, agitators must also meet the safety requirements for appliances for specific purposes. This standard mainly focuses on the safety performance of kitchen equipment and kitchen machinery. The agitator will be tested for electrical properties, mechanical properties, and fire performance of coatings and housings.
In addition to these two main standards, agitators are also subject to electromagnetic compatibility testing according to EN 55014-1. This standard mainly focuses on the electromagnetic radiation and immunity generated by electrical and electronic equipment, ensuring that the agitator will not interfere with other equipment during use.
During the test, the agitator also needs to comply with the EN 62233 standard, which specifies the measurement method of electromagnetic radiation generated by electrical and electronic equipment to ensure that the agitator is not harmful to humans when used.
In addition, agitators need to comply with EN 55014-2, which specifies radiation, radiation resistance requirements and test methods for household and similar electrical equipment. The agitator needs to meet this standard in the test to ensure that its radiation dose and radiation resistance meet the requirements of the European Union.
Through these EN standard tests, agitators can obtain CE marking, proving that they meet the requirements of the European Union in terms of safety, health and environmental protection. Investing in a blender with CE certification ensures that it is safe to use in both domestic and commercial kitchens.
Therefore, when choosing a agitator, we should pay attention to whether the product complies with CE certification and understand whether it has been tested in accordance with the above EN standards to ensure the quality and safety of the product.
To summarize, agitators must be tested in accordance with standards such as EN 60335-1, EN 60335-2-14, EN 55014-1, EN 62233 and EN 55014-2 in order to obtain CE certification. These standards focus on the safety performance, electromagnetic compatibility, and radiation performance of agitators. Only by passing these tests can the agitator officially enter the EU market and gain the trust of consumers.
CE mark is a safety certification mark, regarded as a door card for manufacturers to open and enter the European market, CE stands for European unity, all products affixed with the CE mark can be sold in the EU member states, without meeting the sales of each member state, so as to achieve the circulation of goods within the EU member states.
The standards for CE certification of mixers include the following:
Machinery safety performance: The mixer should meet the safety performance standards required by the European Machinery Directive 2006 42 EC to ensure that the product will not pose a danger to the user.
Electromagnetic compatibility: The electromagnetic compatibility of the mixer should meet the standards required by the European Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive 2014 30 EU to ensure that it will not interfere with other electrical equipment under normal use conditions.
Materials and chemical substances: The materials and chemical substances used in the mixer shall meet the standards required by the European Chemicals Regulation REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals).
Electrical safety: The electrical safety of the mixer should comply with the standards required by the European Low Voltage Directive 2014 35 EU to ensure that the product will not cause a risk of electric shock to the user under normal conditions of use.
Acoustic performance: The acoustic performance of the mixer should meet the standards required by the European Environmental Noise Directive 2000 14 EC to ensure that the noise level of the product under normal use conditions will not cause discomfort and harm to the user and the surrounding environment.
Packaging and labeling: The packaging and labelling of the mixer shall comply with the standards required by the European Product Packaging and Labelling Directive 94 62 EC and 2000 53 EC to ensure that the product can be transported safely and used correctly.
The above standards are the main requirements for CE certification of mixers, and the specific requirements may vary depending on the product. It is recommended to consult a professional certification body to obtain more accurate information before applying for CE certification.
