Compliance overview
Scope and applicability
This standard applies to portable induction cookers with a rated voltage not exceeding 250V for household and similar purposes. It also covers the induction heating portion of gas-electric combined cookers. This standard is mandatory for all manufacturers of portable induction cookers entering the Chinese market. It does not apply to built-in cookers (GB 4706.22), microwave ovens, warming plates, or commercial-use appliances.
Technical requirements
The standard specifies comprehensive safety requirements for portable induction cookers, including protection against electric shock, input power limits, and heating characteristics. It mandates specific structural requirements, such as ensuring touch controllers require at least two manual operations to activate a hotplate and preventing malfunction from liquid spills. Manufacturers must ensure glass or ceramic surfaces can withstand mechanical impacts and thermal stress. Additionally, appliances designed for outdoor use must meet enhanced rust protection criteria, including a salt spray test.
Testing methods
Testing involves normal operation using specified steel vessels filled with cooking oil to simulate real-world conditions. Key tests include the overflow test using a 1% NaCl solution, an immersion test for cleanable parts, and a mechanical strength test where a weighted container is dropped onto the cooking zone. Touch controls are also tested for malfunction when exposed to water and wet cloths. Outdoor models undergo a rigorous salt spray test to verify coating durability.
