prEN IEC 60335-2-47:2026/prA1:2026 is a CLC draft European amendment to the IEC 60335 safety series for commercial electric boiling pans. It specifies selected safety changes for electrically operated boiling pans used in commercial settings, not household use, so manufacturers, test labs and conformity assessors can judge whether a design follows the updated safety wording.
What does prEN IEC 60335-2-47:2026/prA1:2026 specify?
prEN IEC 60335-2-47:2026/prA1:2026 deals with the safety of electrically operated commercial boiling pans not intended for household use. The scope covers appliances used in places such as restaurants, canteens, hospitals and other commercial enterprises, and it frames the voltage range covered by the part.
This amendment is organized as targeted changes to the base part. The revised sections shown in the document are Clause 1, Clause 3, Clause 11, Clause 12, Clause 18, Clause 20, Clause 22 and Annex B.
| Annex | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Annex B | Battery-operated appliances, separable batteries and detachable batteries for battery-operated appliances - deleted in this amendment so Part 1 applies without modification |
What are the key requirements of prEN IEC 60335-2-47:2026/prA1:2026?
prEN IEC 60335-2-47:2026/prA1:2026 mainly tightens how the appliance is classified, tested and built for lid movement, battery-related cases and heating-related clauses. In practice, it tells designers and test engineers which special cases stay in scope and which Part 1 provisions apply directly.
- Clause 1 Scope is amended to include direct current (DC) supplied appliances and to remove the battery-operated appliance item from the scope wording. In practice, DC-fed commercial boiling pans are treated within this part, so they should be assessed under the same safety framework.
- Clause 3.1.9 is modified. This means the terminology used for the appliance safety checks is updated, so test reports and technical files should follow the revised definition text.
- Clause 11 Heating and Clause 11.7 are modified. In practice, heating performance and safety assessment follow the amended wording in this part rather than the earlier text.
- Clause 12 Charging of metal-ion batteries states that the corresponding clause of Part 1 applies. If the appliance includes charging of metal-ion batteries, users apply the general Part 1 requirements instead of a special Part 2-47 modification.
- Clause 18 Endurance is stated as not applicable. That matters because endurance testing is not handled here as a special Part 2-47 requirement.
- Clause 20 Stability and mechanical hazards strengthens protection around covers, guards and moving parts. Protective enclosures and similar parts must be non-detachable or interlocked and mechanically strong, while parts needed for tilting are treated differently. This tells designers how to keep the appliance stable and how to avoid pinch or impact hazards.
- New Clause 20.102 addresses automatic opening and closing of the lid. It requires the lid motion to be checked so that it does not create a hazard, especially on motorized closing. The note clarifies that hold-to-run operation is not treated as automatic operation.
- Clause 22.119 Construction replaces “grips” with “handles” and requires at least one handle on lids if they are not motorized. In practice, manual lids need a proper handhold that suits safe opening and closing.
- Annex B is deleted, so the battery-specific modifications from Part 1 no longer apply through this part. That simplifies application of the base Part 1 requirements for this amendment.
What terms does prEN IEC 60335-2-47:2026/prA1:2026 define?
prEN IEC 60335-2-47:2026/prA1:2026 uses a small set of terms that matter for scope and safety checks. These terms help users tell which appliance types and lid movements are covered.
- Direct current (DC) - electric supply in one direction; the scope is expanded to include DC supplied appliances.
- Battery-operated appliances - appliances powered from batteries; this category is referenced in the deleted Annex B.
- Separable batteries - batteries that can be separated from the appliance; they are part of the former Annex B topic.
- Detachable batteries - batteries intended to be removed from the appliance; also part of the former Annex B topic.
- Hold-to-run device - a control that must be kept actuated by the operator; the note says this is not considered automatic operation.
- Motorized tilting movement - powered movement of the lid; Clause 20.102 uses it in the hazard check.
- Protective enclosures - covers or barriers around moving or hazardous parts; Clause 20.2 requires them to stay in place or be interlocked.
Who uses prEN IEC 60335-2-47:2026/prA1:2026?
prEN IEC 60335-2-47:2026/prA1:2026 is used by people who design, test, specify or buy commercial boiling pans. It is relevant wherever these appliances are used in restaurants, canteens, hospitals, bakeries, butcheries and similar commercial enterprises.
Manufacturers use it to shape the lid, enclosure and heating design. Test laboratories and safety assessors use it to check the applicable clauses and the lid-hazard checks. Buyers and technical specifiers use it to identify the correct safety part for commercial, not household, equipment.
What changed in prEN IEC 60335-2-47:2026/prA1:2026 from the previous edition?
prEN IEC 60335-2-47:2026/prA1:2026 is Amendment 1 to IEC 60335-2-47:2021. The amendment changes the scope and several safety clauses, and it deletes Annex B.
The main changes stated in the document are:
- DC supplied appliances are added to the scope wording.
- The battery-operated appliance item is deleted from the scope list.
- Clauses 3.1.9, 11 and 11.7 are revised.
- Clause 12 is redirected to Part 1.
- Clause 18 is made not applicable.
- Clause 20.2 is strengthened, and new Clause 20.102 adds a lid-hazard check.
- Clause 22.119 now requires at least one handle on non-motorized lids.
- Annex B is deleted.
What does the prEN IEC 60335-2-47:2026/prA1:2026 document contain?
prEN IEC 60335-2-47:2026/prA1:2026 contains amendment text, not a full rewrite of the whole product standard. It revises the scope, terms and selected safety clauses for heating, endurance, stability, mechanical hazards and construction.
It also adds a specific check for automatic opening and closing of the lid, with test criteria for motorized closing. The document removes the battery-specific annex so the base Part 1 applies without that modification. For practical use, this means the amendment is read alongside the base Part 2-47 text when checking design compliance, testing and safety documentation.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as "IEC Publication(s)"). Their
preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents
