Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety - Part 2-42: Particular requirements for commercial electric forced convection ovens, steam cookers and steam-convection ovens
This European Standard deals with the safety of electrically operated commercial forced convection ovens, steam cookers, steam-convection ovens and, exclusive of any other use, steam generators, not intended for household use. The rated voltage being not more than 250 V for single-phase appliances connected between one phase and neutral and 480 V for other appliances. Appliances within the scope of this standard are typically used in restaurants, canteens, hospitals and commercial enterprises such as bakeries, butcheries, etc

Ta evropski standard obravnava varnost električno gnanih komercialnih pečic s prisilno konvekcijo, parnih kuhalnikov, parno-konvekcijskih pečic in, izključno za druge namene, parnih generatorjev, ki niso namenjeni za gospodinjsko uporabo. Nazivna napetost ne presega 250 V za enofazne naprave, priključene med eno fazo in nevtralnim vodnikom, ter 480 V za druge naprave. Naprave, ki so v okviru tega standarda, se običajno uporabljajo v restavracijah, menzah, bolnišnicah in komercialnih podjetjih, kot so pekarne, mesnice itd.
