1st (twice)
Detachable parts are removed.
The liquid container of the appliance is completely filled with water containing approximately 1 % NaCl and a further quantity, equal to 15 % of the capacity of the container or 0,25 l, whichever is the greater, is poured in steadily over a period of 1 min.
In case of doubt, the spillage test is carried out with the appliance deviating from the normal position of use by an angle not exceeding 5°.
For cordless kettles, the test with the kettle on the horizontal plane is carried out with the kettle both on and off its stand.
2nd -- Kettles that can be filled through the spout
Detachable parts are removed.
Tested on a plane inclined at an angle of 20° to the horizontal, with the spout uppermost.
filled with water containing approximately 1 % NaCl to the maximum level, if this indication is visible from the filling position, otherwise until water spills from the kettle.
A further quantity, equal to 15 % of the rated capacity of the kettle, is then added as quickly as possible
Only with the cordless kettle off its stand
3rd
Kettles are then filled to rated capacity with water.
They are placed on a plane inclined at an angle of 20° to the horizontal with their spout facing up the slope of the inclined plane.
Water shall not be discharged from the kettle
4th -- Stands for cordless kettles
The stand is placed on a horizontal surface
30 ml of water containing approximately 1 % NaCl is poured onto the connecting device.
The solution is poured steadily through a tube having an inner diameter of 8 mm over a period of 2 s, the lower end of the tube being 200 mm above the connecting device.
Judgment:The stand shall then withstand the electric strength test of 16.3, the test voltage for reinforced insulation being 2 500 V. |
