IEC 60335-2-48:2021

Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety - Part 2-48: Particular requirements for commercial electric grillers and toasters

IEC 603352-48:2021 deals with the safety of electrically operated commercial grillers and toasters , 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.
Rotary or continuous grillers or toasters and similar appliances intended for grilling by radiant heat such as rotisseries, salamanders, etc., are within the scope of this standard. These appliances are not intended for household and similar purposes. They are used for commercial 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. As far as is practicable, this standard deals with the common hazards presented by these types of appliances.
Attention is drawn to the fact that:
– for appliances intended to be used in vehicles or on board ships or aircraft, additional requirements can be necessary;
– in many countries additional requirements are specified by the national health authorities, the national authorities responsible for the protection of labour, the national water supply authorities and similar authorities;
– for appliances intended to be used outdoors, additional requirements can be necessary.
This standard does not apply to:
– appliances designed exclusively for industrial purposes;
– appliances intended to be used in locations where special conditions prevail, such as the presence of a corrosive or explosive atmosphere (dust, vapour or gas);
– appliances for continuous mass production of food;
– commercial electric griddles and griddle grills (IEC 60335-2-38);
– battery-operated appliances;
– grills, toasters and similar portable cooking appliances for household use covered by IEC 60335-2-9 and used in the following environments by laymen: staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and other working environments, farm houses, hotels, motels and other residential type environments, bed and breakfast type environments.
This fifth edition cancels and replaces the fourth edition published in 2002, Amendment 1:2008 and Amendment 2:2017. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) the text has been aligned with IEC 60335-1:2020;
b) some notes have been converted to normative text, modified or deleted (Clause 1, 7.15, 9.101, 11.7, 22.101, 23.3, 27.2, 30.101);
c) clarifications to some test specifications have been made (7.101, 11.4, 15.1.1, 19, 20.1, 25.3);

It covers appliances (single- and multi-phase) up to 250 V single-phase (phase–neutral) and 480 V for other connections, including rotary or continuous grillers, rotisseries, salamanders and similar radiant-heat equipment used in commercial food‑service environments (restaurants, canteens, hospitals, bakeries, butcheries, areas open to the public). This Part 2 is intended to be used together with IEC 60335-1.

Key topics and technical requirements

• Scope and exclusions: Applies to electrically powered commercial grillers/toasters; excludes exclusively industrial equipment, battery-operated appliances, appliances for explosive/corrosive atmospheres, continuous mass-production lines and consumer household portable models covered by other Parts.
• Alignment and updates: Text aligned with IEC 60335-1:2020 and contains technical revisions (e.g., clarified test specs, normative conversion of notes, new public‑area surface‑temperature requirements).
• Heating and surface temperatures: Requirements and measurement procedures for external accessible surface temperatures under normal operation, including specific tables for maximum temperature rises for appliances and those intended for areas open to the public.
• Electrical safety: Leakage current and dielectric strength tests, transient overvoltage considerations, overload protection, earthing/terminal requirements and internal wiring rules.
• Construction and mechanical safety: Rules for stability, mechanical strength, protection against access to live parts, clearances/creepage distances, resistance to heat/fire and corrosion.
• Testing and instructions: Detailed test specifications (endurance, abnormal operation, moisture resistance) and mandatory marking, cleaning and user instruction requirements. Annexes include battery guidance (normative) and guidance for tropical climates (informative).

Practical applications

• Product design and certification: Manufacturers of commercial grillers, rotisseries, salamanders and toasters use this standard during design, safety engineering and pre‑market testing to achieve compliance and market access.
• Compliance and testing labs: Test houses and certification bodies apply the standard’s test methods and limits when assessing conformity.
• Procurement and safety managers: Food‑service operators and facility managers can specify appliances that meet IEC 60335-2-48 to reduce electrical, thermal and fire hazards in commercial kitchens.
• Regulators and standards committees: Used as a baseline for national regulations; note that national health, labour or water authorities may add requirements.

Related standards

• IEC 60335-1 (General requirements) - must be used in conjunction with this Part 2.
• IEC 60335-2-38 (commercial electric griddles and griddle-grills) - related but separate scope.
• IEC 60335-2-9 (household grills and toasters) - covers household/portable appliances.

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 including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent
rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This consolidated version of the official IEC Standard and its amendment has been prepared
for user convenience.

INTRODUCTION
It has been assumed in the drafting of this International Standard that the execution of its
provisions is entrusted to appropriately qualified and experienced persons.
Guidance documents concerning the application of the safety requirements for appliances can
be accessed via TC 61 supporting documents on the IEC website:
https://www.iec.ch/tc61/supportingdocuments
This information is given for the convenience of users of this International Standard and does
not constitute a replacement for the normative text in this standard.
This standard recognizes the internationally accepted level of protection against hazards such
as electrical, mechanical, thermal, fire and radiation of appliances when operated as in normal
use taking into account the manufacturer's instructions. It also covers abnormal situations that
can be expected in practice and takes into account the way in which electromagnetic
phenomena can affect the safe operation of appliances.
This standard takes into account the requirements of IEC 60364 as far as possible so that there
is compatibility with the wiring rules when the appliance is connected to the supply mains.
However, national wiring rules may differ.
If an appliance within the scope of this standard also incorporates functions that are covered
by another Part 2 of IEC 60335, the relevant Part 2 is applied to each function separately, as
far as is reasonable. If applicable, the influence of one function on the other is taken into
account.
When a Part 2 standard does not include additional requirements to cover hazards dealt with
in Part 1, Part 1 applies.
NOTE 1 This means that the technical committees responsible for the Part 2 standards have determined that it is
not necessary to specify particular requirements for the appliance in question over and above the general
requirements.
This standard is a product family standard dealing with the safety of appliances and takes
precedence over horizontal and generic standards covering the same subject.
NOTE 2 Horizontal publications, basic safety publications and group safety publications covering a hazard are not
applicable since they have been taken into consideration when developing the general and particular requirements
for the IEC 60335 series of standards.
An appliance that complies with the text of this standard will not necessarily be considered to
comply with the safety principles of the standard if, when examined and tested, it is found to
have other features that impair the level of safety covered by these requirements.
An appliance employing materials or having forms of construction differing from those detailed
in the requirements of this standard may be examined and tested according to the intent of the
requirements and, if found to be substantially equivalent, may be considered to comply with the
standard.
NOTE 3 Standards dealing with non-safety aspects of household appliances are:
– IEC standards published by TC 59 concerning methods for measuring performance;
– CISPR 11, CISPR 14-1 and relevant IEC 61000-3 series standards concerning electromagnetic emissions;
– CISPR 14-2 concerning electromagnetic immunity;
– IEC standards published by TC 111 concerning environmental matters.

1 Scope
This clause of Part 1 is replaced by the following.
This part of IEC 60335 deals with the safety of electrically operated commercial grillers and
toasters , 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.
Rotary or continuous grillers or toasters and similar appliances intended for grilling by
radiant heat such as rotisseries, salamanders, etc., are within the scope of this standard.
These appliances are not intended for household and similar purposes. They are used for
commercial 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.:
– by experts or instructed persons for commercial processing of food in areas that are not
areas open to the public, for example in kitchens of restaurants, canteens, hospitals and
in commercial enterprises such as bakeries and butcheries; or
– by laypersons in areas open to the public, for example hotel/motel common areas,
canteens and self-service restaurants.
As far as is practicable, this standard deals with the common hazards presented by these types
of appliances.
Attention is drawn to the fact that:
– for appliances intended to be used in vehicles or on board ships or aircraft, additional
requirements can be necessary;
– in many countries additional requirements are specified by the national health authorities,
the national authorities responsible for the protection of labour, the national water supply
authorities and similar authorities;
– for appliances intended to be used outdoors, additional requirements can be necessary.
This standard does not apply to:
– appliances designed exclusively for industrial purposes;
– appliances intended to be used in locations where special conditions prevail, such as the
presence of a corrosive or explosive atmosphere (dust, vapour or gas);
– appliances for continuous mass production of food;
– commercial electric griddles and griddle grills (IEC 60335-2-38);
– battery-operated appliances;
– grills, toasters and similar portable cooking appliances for household use covered by
IEC 60335-2-9 and used in the following environments by laymen;
• staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and other working environments;
• farm houses;
• hotels rooms, motels rooms and other residential type environments;
• bed and breakfast type environments.

probe of Figure 103 is used to measure the temperature rises of external accessible surfaces
specified in Table 101 and Table 102. The probe is applied with a force of 4 N ± 1 N to the
surface in such a way that the best possible contact between the probe and the surface is
ensured. The measurement is performed after a contact period of 30 s.
The probe may be held in place using a laboratory stand clamp or similar device. Any measuring
instrument giving the same results as the probe may be used.
11.4 Replacement:
Appliances are operated under normal operation such that the total power input of the
appliance is 1,15 times rated power input. If it is not possible to switch on all heating elements
at the same time, the test is made with each of the combinations that the switch arrangement
will allow, the highest load possible with each switching arrangement being in circuit.
If the appliance is provided with a control that limits the total power input, the test is made with
whichever combination of heating units, as may be selected by the control, imposes the most
unfavourable condition.
If the temperature rise limits of motors, transformers or electronic circuits are exceeded, the
test is repeated with the appliance supplied at 1,06 times rated voltage. In this case, only the
temperature rise of the components for which the temperature rise limits were exceeded are
measured.
11.7 Replacement: Modification:
Replace the first paragraph with the following:
Appliances are operated until steady conditions are established.
Steady conditions are considered to exist 60 min after reaching the temperatures defined for

Part 2-48: Particular requirements for commercial
electric grillers and toasters

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 including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent
rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This redline version of the official IEC Standard allows the user to identify the changes made to
the previous edition IEC 60335-2-48:2002+AMD1:2008+AMD2:2017 CSV. A vertical bar appears
in the margin wherever a change has been made. Additions are in green text, deletions are in

9.101, 11.7, 22.101, 23.3, 27.2, 30.101);
c) clarifications to some test specifications have been made (7.101, 11.4, 15.1.1, 19, 20.1,
25.3);
d) introduction of requirements for appliances intended for use in areas open to the public,
including external accessible surface temperatures (Clause 1, 7.12, 11.8, Table 102);
e) clarification of applicable standard for appliances for use by laymen (Clause 1, 7.12);
f) exclusion of battery-operated appliances;
g) relocation of cleaning instructions from 7.12.1 to 7.12;
h) relocation of 24.101 to 22.104;
i) additional instructional requirements in 7.12;

FDIS Report on voting
61/6364/FDIS 61/6412/RVD
Full information on the voting for its approval can be found in the report on voting indicated in
the above table.
The language used for the development of this International Standard is English.
This document was drafted in accordance with ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2, and developed in
accordance with ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1 and ISO/IEC Directives, IEC Supplement, available
at www.iec.ch/members_experts/refdocs. The main document types developed by IEC are
described in greater detail at www.iec.ch/standardsdev/publications.
A list of all parts in the IEC 60335 series, published under the general title Household and
similar electrical appliances – Safety, can be found on the IEC website.
This Part 2 is to be used in conjunction with the latest edition of IEC 60335-1 and its
amendments unless that edition precludes it; in that case, the latest edition that does not
preclude it is used. It was established on the basis of the sixth edition (2020) of that standard.
NOTE 1 When "Part 1" is mentioned in this standard, it refers to IEC 60335-1.
This Part 2 supplements or modifies the corresponding clauses in IEC 60335-1, so as to convert
that publication into the IEC standard: Particular requirements for commercial electric grillers
and toasters.

INTRODUCTION
It has been assumed in the drafting of this International Standard that the execution of its
provisions is entrusted to appropriately qualified and experienced persons.
Guidance documents concerning the application of the safety requirements for appliances can
be accessed via TC 61 supporting documents on the IEC website:
https://www.iec.ch/tc61/supportingdocuments
This information is given for the convenience of users of this International Standard and does
not constitute a replacement for the normative text in this standard.
This standard recognizes the internationally accepted level of protection against hazards such
as electrical, mechanical, thermal, fire and radiation of appliances when operated as in normal
use taking into account the manufacturer's instructions. It also covers abnormal situations that
can be expected in practice and takes into account the way in which electromagnetic
phenomena can affect the safe operation of appliances.
This standard takes into account the requirements of IEC 60364 as far as possible so that there
is compatibility with the wiring rules when the appliance is connected to the supply mains.
However, national wiring rules may differ.
If an appliance within the scope of this standard also incorporates functions that are covered
by another Part 2 of IEC 60335, the relevant Part 2 is applied to each function separately, as
far as is reasonable. If applicable, the influence of one function on the other is taken into
account.
When a Part 2 standard does not include additional requirements to cover hazards dealt with
in Part 1, Part 1 applies.
NOTE 1 This means that the technical committees responsible for the Part 2 standards have determined that it is
not necessary to specify particular requirements for the appliance in question over and above the general
requirements.
This standard is a product family standard dealing with the safety of appliances and takes
precedence over horizontal and generic standards covering the same subject.
NOTE 2 Horizontal publications, basic safety publications and generic standards group safety publications covering
a hazard are not applicable since they have been taken into consideration when developing the general and particular
requirements for the IEC 60335 series of standards. For example, in the case of temperature requirements for
surfaces on many appliances, generic standards, such as ISO 13732-1 for hot surfaces, are not applicable in addition
to Part 1 or part 2 standards.
An appliance that complies with the text of this standard will not necessarily be considered to
comply with the safety principles of the standard if, when examined and tested, it is found to
have other features that impair the level of safety covered by these requirements.
An appliance employing materials or having forms of construction differing from those detailed
in the requirements of this standard may be examined and tested according to the intent of the
requirements and, if found to be substantially equivalent, may be considered to comply with the
standard.
NOTE 3 Standards dealing with non-safety aspects of household appliances are:
– IEC standards published by TC 59 concerning methods for measuring performance;
– CISPR 11, CISPR 14-1 and relevant IEC 61000-3 series standards concerning electromagnetic emissions;
– CISPR 14-2 concerning electromagnetic immunity;
– IEC standards published by TC 111 concerning environmental matters.

manufacturer's instructions. If no instructions are given, these appliances are considered as
appliances normally placed on the floor.
11.3 Addition:
Where the external accessible surfaces are suitably flat and access permits, then the test
probe of Figure 103 is used to measure the temperature rises of external accessible surfaces
specified in Table 101 and Table 102. The probe is applied with a force of 4 N ± 1 N to the
surface in such a way that the best possible contact between the probe and the surface is
ensured. The measurement is performed after a contact period of 30 s.
The probe may be held in place using a laboratory stand clamp or similar device. Any measuring
instrument giving the same results as the probe may be used.
11.4 Replacement:
Appliances are operated under normal operation such that the total power input of the
appliance is 1,15 times rated power input. If it is not possible to switch on all heating elements
at the same time, the test is made with each of the combinations that the switch arrangement
will allow, the highest load possible with each switching arrangement being in circuit.
If the appliance is provided with a control that limits the total power input, the test is made with
whichever combination of heating units, as may be selected by the control, imposes the most
severe unfavourable condition.
If the temperature rise limits of motors, transformers or electronic circuits are exceeded, the
test is repeated with the appliance supplied at 1,06 times rated voltage. In this case, only the
temperature rises of motors, transformers or electronic circuits rise of the components for
which the temperature limits were exceeded are measured.
11.7 Replace the test specification paragraph by the following Replacement:
Appliances are operated until steady conditions are established.
NOTE 101 The duration of the test may consist of more than one cycle of operation.
Steady conditions are considered to exist 60 min after reaching the temperatures defined for
normal operation.
When an appliance is assembled in combination with, equipped with or incorporating
accessories or other appliances, the interaction shall be covered if they are provided to operate
simultaneously as stated by the manufacturer or by a common control.
11.8 Addition:
For stationary appliances, the limit of 65 K temperature rise for the rear and side test walls,
including the part of the walls of the test corner that projects in front of the appliance, only
applies below the level of the top of the appliance. If this temperature rise limit is exceeded
above this level, or on the floor working surface, then the requirements of 7.101 apply.
During the test, the temperature rises are monitored continuously and shall not exceed the
values shown in Table 3 and Table 101.
For appliances intended to be installed in areas open to the public, the temperature shall not
exceed the values shown in Table 102.

Part 2-48: Particular requirements for commercial
electric grillers and toasters

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

INTRODUCTION
It has been assumed in the drafting of this International Standard that the execution of its
provisions is entrusted to appropriately qualified and experienced persons.
Guidance documents concerning the application of the safety requirements for appliances can
be accessed via TC 61 supporting documents on the IEC website:
https://www.iec.ch/tc61/supportingdocuments
This information is given for the convenience of users of this International Standard and does
not constitute a replacement for the normative text in this standard.
This standard recognizes the internationally accepted level of protection against hazards such
as electrical, mechanical, thermal, fire and radiation of appliances when operated as in normal
use taking into account the manufacturer's instructions. It also covers abnormal situations that
can be expected in practice and takes into account the way in which electromagnetic
phenomena can affect the safe operation of appliances.
This standard takes into account the requirements of IEC 60364 as far as possible so that there
is compatibility with the wiring rules when the appliance is connected to the supply mains.
However, national wiring rules may differ.
If an appliance within the scope of this standard also incorporates functions that are covered
by another Part 2 of IEC 60335, the relevant Part 2 is applied to each function separately, as
far as is reasonable. If applicable, the influence of one function on the other is taken into
account.
When a Part 2 standard does not include additional requirements to cover hazards dealt with
in Part 1, Part 1 applies.
NOTE 1 This means that the technical committees responsible for the Part 2 standards have determined that it is
not necessary to specify particular requirements for the appliance in question over and above the general
requirements.
This standard is a product family standard dealing with the safety of appliances and takes
precedence over horizontal and generic standards covering the same subject.
NOTE 2 Horizontal publications, basic safety publications and group safety publications covering a hazard are not
applicable since they have been taken into consideration when developing the general and particular requirements
for the IEC 60335 series of standards.
An appliance that complies with the text of this standard will not necessarily be considered to
comply with the safety principles of the standard if, when examined and tested, it is found to
have other features that impair the level of safety covered by these requirements.
An appliance employing materials or having forms of construction differing from those detailed
in the requirements of this standard may be examined and tested according to the intent of the
requirements and, if found to be substantially equivalent, may be considered to comply with the
standard.
NOTE 3 Standards dealing with non-safety aspects of household appliances are:
– IEC standards published by TC 59 concerning methods for measuring performance;
– CISPR 11, CISPR 14-1 and relevant IEC 61000-3 series standards concerning electromagnetic emissions;
– CISPR 14-2 concerning electromagnetic immunity;
– IEC standards published by TC 111 concerning environmental matters.

appliances normally placed on the floor.
11.3 Addition:
Where the external accessible surfaces are suitably flat and access permits, then the test
probe of Figure 103 is used to measure the temperature rises of external accessible surfaces
specified in Table 101 and Table 102. The probe is applied with a force of 4 N ± 1 N to the
surface in such a way that the best possible contact between the probe and the surface is
ensured. The measurement is performed after a contact period of 30 s.
The probe may be held in place using a laboratory stand clamp or similar device. Any measuring
instrument giving the same results as the probe may be used.
11.4 Replacement:
Appliances are operated under normal operation such that the total power input of the
appliance is 1,15 times rated power input. If it is not possible to switch on all heating elements
at the same time, the test is made with each of the combinations that the switch arrangement
will allow, the highest load possible with each switching arrangement being in circuit.
If the appliance is provided with a control that limits the total power input, the test is made with
whichever combination of heating units, as may be selected by the control, imposes the most
unfavourable condition.
If the temperature rise limits of motors, transformers or electronic circuits are exceeded, the
test is repeated with the appliance supplied at 1,06 times rated voltage. In this case, only the
temperature rise of the components for which the temperature rise limits were exceeded are
measured.
11.7 Replacement:
Appliances are operated until steady conditions are established.
Steady conditions are considered to exist 60 min after reaching the temperatures defined for
normal operation.
When an appliance is assembled in combination with, equipped with or incorporating
accessories or other appliances, the interaction shall be covered if they are provided to operate
simultaneously as stated by the manufacturer or by a common control.
11.8 Addition:
For stationary appliances, the limit of 65 K temperature rise for the rear and side test walls,
including the part of the test corner that projects in front of the appliance, only applies below
the level of the top of the appliance. If this temperature rise limit is exceeded above this level,
or on the working surface, then the requirements of 7.101 apply.
During the test, the temperature rises are monitored continuously and shall not exceed the
values shown in Table 3 and Table 101.
For appliances intended to be installed in areas open to the public, the temperature shall not
exceed the values shown in Table 102.
