Overview

EN 60335-2-37:2002/A2 is an amendment to the IEC/CENELEC safety standard for commercial electric deep fat fryers, published as part of the IEC 60335 series (household and similar electrical appliances - safety). Prepared by IEC subcommittee 61E (safety of electrical commercial catering equipment), this amendment updates particular safety requirements and test limits for commercial fryers. Note: the project status indicates work was stopped at the technical committee (TC) request because harmonisation is being addressed under the Machinery Directive revision, so users should check the latest national and EU guidance for current conformity obligations.

Key Topics and Requirements

The amendment focuses on practical safety and test limits for commercial fryers. Main technical points include:

• Scope: Particular safety requirements for electric deep fat fryers intended for commercial/collective use (catering environments).
• Temperature control and test limits: During specified tests (clauses 19.2 a), 19.3 and 19.4 with measurement method referenced to clause 11.3), the oil temperature must not exceed 230 °C at any point measured not closer than 5 mm from any surface. An exception allows 245 °C for the thermostat’s first cycle of operation.
• Test and compliance focus: Ensures thermal safety of heating elements, thermostats and oil containment under normal and abnormal conditions.
• Functions concerned: Safety, EMC (electromagnetic compatibility), environment and quality assurance considerations are central to the amendment.

Practical Applications - Who Uses This Standard

EN 60335-2-37:2002/A2 is relevant for:

• Manufacturers and designers of commercial deep fat fryers for product design, safety validation and technical documentation.
• Test laboratories and conformity assessors performing type tests, thermal and safety tests specified in the standard.
• Safety engineers and compliance managers verifying that equipment meets published temperature limits and protective measures.
• Procurement specialists and foodservice operators who require equipment that conforms to recognised safety standards.
• Regulators and notified bodies evaluating harmonisation with EU directives (including the Machinery Directive where applicable).

Related Standards and Notes

• Part of the IEC 60335 series - consult other parts for general safety requirements applicable to household and similar electrical appliances.
• Because the amendment’s harmonisation was affected by Machinery Directive revision, check current CENELEC/IEC publications and national transpositions before relying on this edition for regulatory compliance.
• Keywords: EN 60335-2-37, electric deep fat fryer safety, commercial fryer standard, IEC 60335, fryer temperature limits, CENELEC harmonisation.
