Modernisation of the standards governing the safety requirements of electric stoves

SESKO (Finnish Electrotechnical Standardisation Association) should take the initiative in promoting the modernisation of the standards governing the electrotechnical safety requirements of electric stoves so as to reduce the incidence of fires caused by electric stoves available for sale within the EU. In the safety requirements, due consideration should be given to the fact that households can comprise e.g. children and elderly people, and that the stoves are also used under influence of alcohol.
