prEN IEC 60335-2-64:2026/prA1:2026

• Abstract:

  This standard deals with the safety of electrically operated commercial kitchen machines, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V for single phase appliances connected between one phase and neutral, and 480 V for other appliances including direct current (DC) supplied appliances and battery operated appliances. These appliances are not intended for household and similar purposes. They are used for commercial processing of food in areas not open to the public, for example in kitchens of restaurants, canteens, hospitals and in commercial enterprises such as bakeries and butcheries.

Overview

prEN IEC 60335-2-64:2026/prA1:2026 is a draft amendment to the European Standard addressing the safety of electrically operated commercial kitchen machines. Developed by the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CENELEC) under the wider family of IEC 60335 standards, this document specifies particular safety requirements designed for commercial electric kitchen appliances. The standard covers machines operating at rated voltages up to 250 V (single-phase, phase-to-neutral) and up to 480 V for other appliances, including those powered by DC or batteries.

These machines are not intended for household use but instead are designed for food processing in professional environments. Typical installations include restaurants, canteens, hospitals, bakeries, and butcheries - essentially, commercial or industrial settings not open to the public.

Key Topics

• Scope of Application: Focuses on commercial electrical kitchen machines and excludes household and consumer products. The standard ensures that only professional-grade appliances used in restricted areas are covered.
• Voltage Ratings: Applies to appliances not exceeding 250 V for single-phase and 480 V for other electrical configurations.
• Safety Requirements: Addresses fire and electrical safety, mechanical stability, and durability, with the primary aim of reducing risks to operators and maintenance personnel.
• Conformance: Specifies harmonization with CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations to align with European and international safety legislation.
• Continuous Development: The amendment process includes provisions for national adoption and alignment with EU directives, promoting future safety and compliance.

Applications

Compliance with prEN IEC 60335-2-64:2026/prA1:2026 is essential for a broad range of stakeholders in the commercial food equipment sector:

• Manufacturers: Ensures product safety and reliability, supporting conformity assessment and access to European markets.
• Food Service Operators: Restaurants, canteens, and commercial kitchens benefit from reduced accident risks, improved workplace safety, and smoother inspections or certifications.
• Testing Laboratories: Provides the basis for standardized safety testing, certification, and quality management systems.
• Regulatory Bodies: Facilitates enforcement of electrical safety requirements for professional kitchen equipment, supporting public and occupational health objectives.
• Commercial Enterprises: Bakeries, butcheries, and industrial food processors can demonstrate compliance and build trust among clients and regulators.

By adhering to this standard, organizations can ensure their commercial kitchen machines provide robust safety for employees, comply with legal requirements, and maintain a competitive advantage in the market.

Related Standards

prEN IEC 60335-2-64:2026/prA1:2026 closely interfaces with a suite of international and European regulations and standards:

• IEC 60335-1: General requirements for the safety of household and similar electrical appliances.
• IEC 60335-2 Series: Covers specific product requirements for a range of appliances, including kitchen machinery.
• EN IEC 60335-2-64:2026: The base European standard for commercial kitchen machines, upon which this amendment builds.
• CEN and CENELEC Internal Regulations: Ensure harmonization with EU policies and directives on electrical safety.
• Harmonized EU Directives: Such as the Low Voltage Directive (LVD) and Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Directive, crucial for CE marking and market access.

For manufacturers and stakeholders in the commercial kitchen appliance industry, understanding and implementing this standard is a critical component of demonstrating due diligence, ensuring product safety, and achieving regulatory compliance in Europe and beyond.
