All electrical pressure cookers with a maximum allowable pressure above 0,5 bar are also in the scope of the PED, irrespective of their product pressure-volume.
Reason:
The pressure hazard of pressure cookers could be high if the design is not adequate. It is the reason why their design must be subject to a conformity assessment of at least one of the category III modules. This applies to electrical pressure cookers as well as externally fired pressure cookers. The 9th recital of the Directive explains that the exclusion laid down in Article 1 paragraph 2 (f) is intended for equipment where the hazard due to pressure remains small.
