Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety - Part 2-49: Particular requirements for commercial electric appliances for keeping food and crockery warm
This European Standard deals with the safety of electrically operated commercial appliances for keeping food and crockery warm, 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.They are used for commercial purposes, processing of food, also in areas open to the public, for example in kitchens of restaurants, canteens, hospitals and in commercial enterprises, such as bakeries and butcheries. The electrical part of appliances making use of other forms of energy is also within the scope of this standard.

Ta evropski standard obravnava varnost električno gnanih komercialnih naprav za ohranjanje toplote hrane in posode, katerih nazivna napetost ne presega 250 V za enofazne naprave, priključene med eno fazo in nevtralni vodnik, ter 480 V za druge naprave. Uporabljajo se v komercialne namene, za obdelavo hrane, tudi na območjih, odprtih za javnost, na primer v kuhinjah restavracij, menzah, bolnišnicah in v komercialnih podjetjih, kot so pekarne in mesnice.
Električni del naprav, ki uporabljajo druge oblike energije, je prav tako v obsegu tega standarda.
