CSA Preface 

This is the second edition of CSA C22.2 No. 60335-2-78, Household and similar electrical appliances — Safety — Part 2-78: Particular requirements for outdoor barbecues, which is an adoption, with Canadian deviations, of the identically titled IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) Standard 60335-2-78 (third edition, 2021-11). It supersedes the previous edition, published in 2014 as CSA C22.2 No. 60335-2-78 (adopted IEC 60335-2-78:2002+A1:2008). It is one in a series of Standards issued by CSA Group under Part II of the Canadian Electrical Code. For brevity, this Standard will be referred to as "CSA C22.2 No. 60335-2-78" throughout. This Standard is intended to be used in conjunction with CSA C22.2 No. 60335-1:16, Household and similar appliances — Safety — Part 1: General requirements (adopted IEC 60335-1:2010+A1:2013, with Canadian deviations). This Standard is considered suitable for use for conformity assessment within the stated scope of the Standard. This Standard was reviewed for Canadian adoption by the CSA Technical Committee on Consumer and Commercial Products, under the jurisdiction of the CSA Strategic Steering Committee on Requirements for Electrical Safety, and has been formally approved by the Technical Committee. This Standard has been developed in compliance with Standards Council of Canada requirements for National Standards of Canada. It has been published as a National Standard of Canada by CSA Group. 

Scope 

This clause of Part 1 is replaced by the following. This part of IEC 60335 deals with the safety of outdoor barbecues for household and similar use, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V. Appliances not intended for normal household use but that nevertheless can be a source of danger to the public, such as appliances intended to be used by laymen in shops, restaurants, hotels, in light industry and on farms, are within the scope of this standard. As far as is practicable, this standard deals with the common hazards presented by appliances that are encountered by all persons in and around the home. However, in general, it does not take into account – persons (including children) whose • physical, sensory or mental capabilities; or • lack of experience and knowledge prevents them from using the appliance safely without supervision or instruction; – children playing with the appliance. Attention is drawn to the fact that – for appliances intended to be used on board ships, additional requirements may be necessary; – in many countries, additional requirements are specified by the national health authorities, the national authorities responsible for the protection of labour and similar authorities. This standard does not apply to – barbecues for indoor use (IEC 60335-2-9); – appliances intended to burn charcoal or similar combustible fuels; – appliances intended exclusively for industrial purposes; – appliances intended to be used in locations where special conditions prevail, such as the presence of a corrosive or explosive atmosphere (dust, vapour or gas); – battery-operated appliances.
