On July 13, 2015, the Official Journal of the European Union published the resolution of the European Commission on the implementation of the provisions of 2015/1143 on liquid heaters, which were developed in accordance with Directive 2006/95 / EC of the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union The The certification directive 2006/95 / EC relates to electrical equipment used within a certain voltage range. The resolution entered into force on 3 August 2015.

In September 2014, Cyprus formally filed a complaint with EN 60335-2-15: 2002, "Safety Standards for Household and Similar Electrical Appliances", which covered the safety of liquid heaters, noting that the standard did not contain any of the regulations intended to be used to heat certain liquids Coffee machine or general electrical appliances specific provisions. Such appliances include an open-top pot with a handle and a closed heating element at the bottom. The heating element is operated by placing the pot on the electric seat, similar to a conventional electric kettle. The liquid in the pot will rise before boiling, and even if the operation is stopped or the appliance is removed from the electric seat. As a result, such appliances are at risk of severe burns, which do not comply with Directive 2006/95 / EC. Directive 2006/95 / EC, also known as the Low Voltage Directive, is suitable for all electrical equipment where the rated voltage is between 50 and 1000 volts and the DC rated voltage is between 75 and 1500 volts. The low voltage directive covers all risks arising from the use of electrical equipment, not only electrical risks, but also mechanical, chemical and other risks. The directive also covers the health effects of noise and vibration, as well as ergonomics.

Directive 2006/95 / EC requires all Member States of the European Union to take all appropriate measures to ensure that electrical equipment is manufactured only in accordance with EU Good Manufacturing Practices and is not endangered by humans when used in installation, maintenance and use Or property security, can be put on the market. The European Commission and the EU Low Voltage Directive have concluded that the EN 60335-2-15: 2002 standard does not meet the safety objectives of Directive 2006/95 / EC.

EN 60335-2-15: 2002 European harmonized standards, their names and numbers, issued under the Low Voltage Directive as an annex to the new EU Resolution. The Commission considers that, in view of the need for improvements in security and the need to make appropriate amendments to the standard, the standard should be accompanied by a warning. Therefore, the European Commission's implementation of the resolution is accompanied by the following warning: "The adoption of this standard is not considered to be in line with the safety objectives of Annexes 1 (d) and 2 (b) of Directive 2006/95 / EC, Or as a risk of being used to modulate certain types of coffee, or to heat certain liquids (such as milk), in the course of coffee preparation or heating of liquids due to hot coffee or hot liquid spills.
