Amazon Electric Kettle Certification UL1082 Test

The UL1082 standard is a safety standard in the United States for liquid-heating appliances such as electric coffee makers and electric kettles, ensuring safe product use. It applies to coffee makers, portable electric coffee makers, drip coffee makers, electric kettles, soybean milk makers and other brewing appliances with a rated voltage of 120V, used in accordance with the National Electrical Code. To ensure consumer safety, Amazon has always emphasized that all electrical products require relevant certification before they can be sold.

Characteristics of Appliances Covered by UL1082:

①　Heat liquids to above 115°F (46°C).

②　Require lifting and tilting the liquid for normal consumption.

③　This standard does not apply to coffee makers with a capacity exceeding 250oz (7.4L), outdoor-use appliances, or appliances with separate requirements independent of this standard.

UL1082 Test Content:

①　Load weight: Twice the weight of the maximum water capacity.

②　Water temperature inside the kettle: 90°C.

③　Gripping area: 2~4 inches wide on the handle.

④　Lifting height: 12.7mm.

⑤　Lifting speed: Within 0.75 seconds.

⑥　Dwell time at the highest point: >3 seconds.

⑦　Test cycle: 10,000 cycles.

Other UL1082 Test Items:

To comply with the UL1082 standard, products must pass a series of safety tests to ensure safe operation under normal use and potential abnormal conditions. These test items include but are not limited to:

①　Ground resistance test: Check the effectiveness of the product's grounding system.

②　Input power test: Ensure the power consumed by the product meets expectations.

③　Leakage current test: Test the product's leakage current under normal and humid conditions.

④　Operation test: Simulate the product's performance under normal use conditions.

⑤　Normal temperature test: Check the product's performance at normal operating temperatures.

⑥　Leakage current after humidity test: Test the product's leakage current in a humid environment.

⑦　High-voltage test: Verify the product's insulation performance under high-voltage conditions.

⑧　Heating element open-circuit test: Simulate safety under heating element failure.

⑨　Power cord pull test: Ensure the power cord does not break when subjected to tension.

⑩　Metal case impact test: Detect the protection capability of the metal case against impacts.

⑪　Thermal degradation test: Test the product's stability and durability at high temperatures.

⑫　Handle firmness test: Ensure the handle does not loosen or break during use.

UL1082 Application Process:

①　Confirm the test standard and send samples.

②　Fill out the application form (mainly company information and product information).

③　Issue a quotation contract, sign and seal by both parties, and make payment.

④　After receiving the samples, China JJR Laboratory arranges the test. The general cycle is 5-7 working days, with expedited service available.

⑤　After passing the test, issue a draft report for confirmation of correct information.
