IEC 60619 ED3

Electrically operated food preparation appliances - Methods for measuring the performance

Scope

IEC 60619:2026 applies to electrically operated food preparation appliances for household use.
The purpose of this document is to state and define test methods for measuring the functions that can be carried out by means of household electrical food preparation appliances, which are of interest to the user and to give some guidelines for the evaluation of test results.
Taking into account the lower grade of accuracy and repeatability, due to variations in time and origin of test materials and ingredients and to the influence of the subjective judgement of test operators, the described test methods can be applied more reliably for comparative testing of a number of appliances at approximately the same time, in the same laboratory, by the same operator and with the same utensils, rather than for testing of single appliances in different laboratories.
This document does not cover safety.
This document does not apply to appliances designed exclusively for commercial or industrial use.
