United States: No specific federal standard mandates child lock features on cooking appliances. The CPSC has authority to require safety standards but has not issued one for child locks on air fryers. UL 1026 includes provisions for accidental actuation prevention but does not require a dedicated child lock. The term 'child-proof' is not regulated by the FTC or CPSC when applied to cooking appliances.
Europe: IEC 60335-2-9 and EN 60335-2-9 include requirements for protection against accidental operation but do not mandate specific child lock mechanisms. Some national market surveillance authorities have issued guidance on child safety features for kitchen appliances.
General: No major standards body (IEC, UL, CSA, CENELEC) has published a dedicated child lock certification standard for portable cooking appliances as of March 2026.
