Good progress has been made with the formulating of a comprehensive series of standard specifications for the commonly used domestic electrical appliances, the necessity for which has been strongly represented by Government and'supply authorities, electricians, users, and other interested parties. Standard specifications are complete for non-metallic electric jugs and for electric jugs and kettles of metallic type. Draft standard specifications circulated by the Standards Council for comment related to irons, immersion heaters, grillers, and cookers other than ranges and rangettes.- In each case these specifications establish minimum requirements relating to materials, essential dimensions, assembly, basic design, and performance in a way tha,t -ensures . adequate safety, durability, efficiency, and interchangeability. Certification of conformity with these specifications through the use of the Standards Mark on this equipment will provide a basis for control of its manufacture, sale, and, use which has long been urged to lessen the dangers and economic loss which result from the use of inferior equipment.
