Electrical Appliances Sectional Committee, ETD 32

FOREWORD
This Indian Standard (Part 2/Sec 15) (First Revision) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the
draft finalized by the Electrical Appliances Sectional Committee had been approved by the Electrotechnical
Division Council.
This standard was first published in 1993. The first revision has been undertaken primarily to align the existing
standard with latest International Standard.
This standard covers the safety requirements of appliances for heating liquids. This standard, however, does not
cover the performance requirements.
It has been assumed in the formulation of this standard that the execution of its provisions is entrusted to
appropriately qualified and experienced persons.
This standard recognizes the International accepted level of protection against hazards such as electrical,
mechanical, thermal, fire and radiation of appliances when operated as in normal use taking into account the
manufacturer’s instructions. It also covers abnormal situations that can be expected in practice.
If the functions of an appliance are covered by different parts and sections of IS 302, the relevant Part and Section
is applied to each function separately, as far as is reasonable. If applicable, the influence of one function on the
other is taken into account.
NOTE — Throughout this publication, wherever Part 2 is mentioned, it refers to the relevant Part of IS 302.

This standard is a product family standard dealing with the safety of appliances and takes precedence over
horizontal and generic standards covering the same subject.
Application of this standard, as far as is reasonable, may be considered to appliances not mentioned in Part 2, and
to appliances designed on new principles.
An appliance that complies with the text of this standard will not necessarily be considered to comply with the
safety principles of the standard if, when examined and tested, it is found to have other features, which impair the
level of safety, covered by these requirements.
An appliance employing materials or having forms of construction differing from those detailed in the requirements
of this standard may be examined and tested according to the intent of the requirements and, if found to be
substantially equivalent, may be considered to comply with the standard.
This standard is to be read in conjunction with IS 302-1 (2008) ‘Safety of household and similar electrical
appliances: Part 1 General requirements’. For the sake of convenience, the clauses of this standard correspond to
those of IS 302-1 (2008), instead of reproducing full text of each clause, clauses of IS 302-1 (2008) which are
applicable (which means that relevant provisions of the clause apply) or not applicable and the subclauses or
portion thereof which are not applicable are indicated as under:
a) In case of a clause where it is applicable, the wording used is ‘This clause of IS 302-1 (2008) is applicable/
not applicable’; and
b) In case of a subclause or part thereof ‘Not applicable’.
Wherever a subclause of IS 302-1 (2008) is to be replaced by a new text, it has been indicated as under:
Replacement – followed by the new text.
Any addition to the existing provision of a subclause of IS 302-1 (2008) has been indicated as under:
Addition – followed by the text of the additional matter.
Clauses/tables which are additional to those of IS 302-1 (2008) are numbered starting from 101 and additional

delhi(warmex@gmail.com) 49.36.189.30.
(Continued from second cover)

subclauses are numbered with the main clause number followed by 101, 102, etc, for example, 7.101.
Should, however, any deviation exist between IS 302-1 (2008) and this standard, the provisions of the latter shall
apply.
This standard is based on IEC 60335-2-15 (2005) ‘Safety of household and similar electrical appliances —
Part 2-15 : Particular requirements for appliances for heating liquids’ issued by the International Electrotechnical
Commission except for the following modification:
a) The leakage current value is more stringent as compared to IEC Publication, and
b) Ambient test conditions are based on national conditions.
For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the final value,
observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test, shall be rounded off in accordance with IS 2 : 1960 ‘Rules
for rounding off numerical values (revised)’. The number of significant places retained in the rounded off value
should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.
