Electric Kettle Spout Limescale Filter is used for catching loose limescale flakes at the spout of electric and stovetop kettles so they do not end up in tea and coffee. IEC 60335-2-15 is the reference cited for it on drawings, datasheets and purchase orders.
What IEC 60335-2-15 Means for Electric Kettle Spout Limescale Filter
The dimensions in the table below are supplied to suit IEC 60335-2-15. Where the standard sets requirements for the finished appliance, device or system, compliance testing of that assembly stays with its manufacturer; we supply the metal mesh part to the drawing and can provide material certificates and dimensional reports with the shipment.
