Overview
prEN IEC 60335-2-36:2026/prA1:2026 is a draft amendment to the European Standard addressing the safety requirements for electrically operated commercial cooking appliances. These include electric cooking ranges, ovens, hobs, and hob elements-commonly used in professional kitchens, restaurants, and food service environments. The standard, developed by CENELEC and based on IEC 60335-2-36:2021/AMD1:2025, is tailored for appliances with a rated voltage up to 250 V for single-phase and 480 V for other configurations, including those supplied by direct current (DC).
This amendment introduces clarifications to ensure the safe use, operation, and maintenance of commercial electric cooking equipment, minimizing electrical, mechanical, and fire hazards.
Key Topics
Scope of Application:
- Covers electrically powered commercial cooking and baking ranges, ovens, hobs, and elements.
- Applies to devices used in commercial settings-not domestic or household environments.
- Includes appliances supplied by both alternating and direct current (DC).
Voltage Ratings:
- Maximum rating is 250 V for single-phase appliances (between one phase and neutral).
- Maximum rating is 480 V for other appliances.
Safety Requirements:
- Stresses the construction and design of protective enclosures, guards, and safety interlocks.
- Emphasizes adequate mechanical strength for all safety-critical parts.
- Ensures that battery-related safety follow the universal Part 1 requirements for such appliances.
Mechanical and Stability Provisions:
- Updates requirements for enclosures and protective parts to prevent mechanical hazards.
- Modified wording around protective and interlocking components for improved clarity and robustness.
Battery Operation:
- Battery-operated appliances are referenced back to the general part of the IEC 60335 series.
Applications
prEN IEC 60335-2-36:2026/prA1:2026 is highly relevant for:
- Manufacturers of commercial electric cooking equipment ensuring compliance with European and international safety regulations.
- Commercial kitchens, including those in restaurants, catering facilities, and institutional food services, that operate electric ovens, ranges, and hobs.
- Certification bodies and regulatory authorities assessing the conformity of electric cooking appliances with European directives and market requirements.
- Product designers and engineers who must incorporate up-to-date safety provisions, especially regarding enclosure integrity and mechanical stability.
Implementing this standard helps prevent electrical shocks, fire hazards, and mechanical injuries in professional settings, supporting a safer cooking environment and regulatory market access across the EU and globally.
Related Standards
This standard is part of the broader IEC 60335 series, which focuses on the safety of household and similar electrical appliances. Related and supporting standards include:
- IEC 60335-1: General requirements for the safety of household and similar electrical appliances.
- IEC 60335-2-X series: Particular requirements for different types of appliances, such as grills, deep fat fryers, and dishwashers.
- EN 60335 series: European adoption and harmonization of the IEC 60335 series.
Compliance with prEN IEC 60335-2-36:2026/prA1:2026 ensures alignment with both EU safety regulation and international best practices, facilitating product acceptance in European and other regulated markets.
