scope:

This International Standard applies to household and similar electrical rice cookers. This standard defines the main performance characteristics that are of interest to the user and specifies methods for measuring these characteristics. This standard does not specify the requirements for performance. This standard does not apply to the pressure type rice cooker or the micro-pressure rice cooker. NOTE 1 - The pressure type rice cooker refers to a rice cooker that cooks at a pressure more than 40 kPa. NOTE 2 - The micro-pressure rice cooker refers to a rice cooker that cooks at a pressure larger than 10 kPa but not more than 40 kPa. NOTE 3 - This standard does not deal with safety requirements (IEC 60335-2-15). NOTE 4 - Some of the tests which are specified in this standard are not considered to be reproducible since the results may vary between laboratories. They are therefore intended for comparative testing purposes only.
