Overview

EN 60335-2-90:2002/prAA - adopted nationally as SIST EN 60335-2-90:2003/OprAA:2004 - is the particular safety standard for commercial microwave ovens. It is part of the EN 60335 series (safety of household and similar electrical appliances) and supplements the general requirements in EN 60335-1. The document was incorporated into the work item pr=15958 (new edition) and is currently held in a standstill status in the referenced national publication.

Key Topics

This standard addresses the specific safety and conformity aspects unique to commercial microwave oven appliances. Major subject areas include:

• Scope and definitions for commercial microwave ovens (appliances intended for professional or non-domestic use).
• Safety requirements supplementing the general EN 60335-1 clauses to cover microwave-specific hazards.
• Protection against microwave radiation leakage, including construction and interlock requirements to limit user exposure.
• Electrical safety aspects specific to commercial appliances (durability of electrical components, wiring and insulation requirements).
• Thermal and mechanical safety, addressing hot surfaces, fire risks and stability during operation.
• Marking, warnings and instructions required for safe installation, operation and maintenance in professional environments.
• Test procedures tailored for commercial microwave ovens to verify compliance with the particular requirements.

(Exact test methods, limits and procedural details are defined within the full standard text.)

Applications

Who uses this standard and why:

• Manufacturers and designers of commercial microwave ovens use it to design safe products and prepare technical documentation for CE marking and market access in Europe.
• Testing and certification laboratories apply the standard’s requirements and test methods to assess conformity and issue compliance reports.
• Regulatory authorities and procurement teams rely on the standard to define minimum safety criteria for commercial kitchen equipment.
• Safety engineers and maintenance personnel consult the standard for guidance on safe installation, servicing and risk mitigation in professional settings.
