oSIST prEN IEC 60335-2-48:2026/oprA1:2026

• Abstract:

  his European Standard deals with the safety of electrically operated commercial grillers and toasters 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. Rotary or continuous grillers and toasters and similar appliances intended for grilling by radiant heat such as rotisseries, salamanders, etc. are within the scope of this standard. Appliances within the scope of this standard are typically used in restaurants, canteens, hospitals and commercial enterprises such as bakeries, butcheries, etc.

oSIST prEN IEC 60335-2-48:2026/oprA1:2026 is a SIST draft amendment for the safety of commercial electric grillers and toasters. It updates the European requirements for electrically operated appliances used outside household use, including rotary and continuous grillers and radiant-heat appliances such as rotisseries and salamanders. The text tells manufacturers, test labs and buyers what product types, markings, temperature-rise limits and safety features are covered.

What does oSIST prEN IEC 60335-2-48:2026/oprA1:2026 specify?

oSIST prEN IEC 60335-2-48:2026/oprA1:2026 specifies particular safety requirements for electrically operated commercial grillers and toasters not intended for household use. It covers appliances with rated voltage up to 250 V for single-phase appliances connected between phase and neutral, and up to 480 V for other appliances.

The amendment also covers rotary or continuous grillers and similar radiant-heat appliances such as rotisseries and salamanders. In practice, the document is organized as a short amendment that updates the scope, terms and definitions, classification, marking and instructions, heating, charging of metal-ion batteries, endurance, stability and mechanical hazards, and Annex B.

What are the key requirements of oSIST prEN IEC 60335-2-48:2026/oprA1:2026?

The amendment keeps the focus on commercial-use safety and adjusts several clauses that affect how these appliances are described, marked and tested. For users, the main point is to check whether the appliance is meant for commercial kitchens, public areas or both, and then apply the right markings and safety checks.

Scope and intended use

oSIST prEN IEC 60335-2-48:2026/oprA1:2026 now describes use by experts or instructed persons in non-public areas, and by laypersons in areas open to the public. This matters because the intended user and location drive product selection, installation and cleaning expectations.

Classification and marking

Clause 6.2 adds a note that the classification does not apply to toasters unless they are intended for use in a commercial kitchen. Clause 7.12 adds a warning for toasters that are not marked with at least IPX3. In practice, the manual must carry the warning when the toaster is not suitable for the cleaning conditions found in commercial kitchens.

Heating and temperature rise

Clause 11.8 adds a note that the temperature-rise limits for handles, knobs, grips, keyboards, keypads and similar parts are given in Table 3. It also adjusts the guidance for external accessible surfaces near adjacent surfaces, with a marking requirement when the relaxed limit is used. For designers, this means the hot-touch parts and nearby surfaces need to be reviewed together, not separately.

Batteries and endurance

Clause 12 states that the Part 1 text applies to charging of metal-ion batteries. Clause 18 states that the Part 1 text is not applicable for endurance. For users of the standard, this means some general safety rules remain in force, while endurance is handled differently for this part.

Stability and mechanical hazards

Clause 20.2 strengthens the requirement for protective enclosures, guards and similar parts: they must be non-detachable or interlocked and must have adequate mechanical strength. This matters because guards should stay in place during use and cleaning.

Annex B

Annex B is deleted, so the Part 1 treatment for battery-operated appliances, separable batteries and detachable batteries applies without modification. That simplifies battery-related conformity checking.

What terms does oSIST prEN IEC 60335-2-48:2026/oprA1:2026 define?

• Expert - A user category named in the scope for commercial processing in non-public areas.
• Instructed person - A person who can use the appliance after being given suitable instructions.
• Layperson - A non-specialist user; the amendment allows some use by laypersons in public areas.
• Commercial kitchen - The setting singled out for certain toaster classification and warning requirements.
• IPX3 - The minimum IP classification mentioned for toasters that are treated differently in the instructions.
• Metal-ion batteries - Batteries covered by Clause 12.
• Protective enclosures - Covers and similar parts that must remain secure or be interlocked.

Who uses oSIST prEN IEC 60335-2-48:2026/oprA1:2026?

Manufacturers of commercial grillers and toasters use it to design safe products and write instructions. Test laboratories use it to check temperature rise, guarding, stability and battery-related safety. Quality managers, buyers and kitchen-equipment specifiers use it when selecting appliances for restaurants, canteens, hospitals, bakeries and butcheries.

What changed in oSIST prEN IEC 60335-2-48:2026/oprA1:2026 from the previous edition?

This draft amendment updates the commercial grillers and toasters part of the IEC 60335 series. The stated changes are:

• revised scope wording for use by experts, instructed persons and laypersons
• a scope update for battery-operated appliances in hotel rooms, motel rooms and other residential type environments
• a new note in Clause 6.2 for toasters intended for commercial kitchens
• a new warning in Clause 7.12 for toasters without at least IPX3
• a note in Clause 11.8 linking handle and control limits to Table 3
• revised heating guidance for external accessible surfaces
• Clause 12 aligned with Part 1
• Clause 18 made not applicable to Part 1
• Clause 20.2 strengthened for guards and enclosures
• Annex B deleted

Which standards are used with oSIST prEN IEC 60335-2-48:2026/oprA1:2026?

The foreword says oSIST prEN IEC 60335-2-48:2026/oprA1:2026 is read in conjunction with prEN IEC 60335-2-48:2026 and prEN IEC 60335-2-48:2026/prAA:2026. It also states that the text is based on IEC 60335-2-48/A1:2025.

What does the oSIST prEN IEC 60335-2-48:2026/oprA1:2026 document contain?

The document contains the amendment text, not the full Part 2-48 standard. It revises scope language, adds and changes notes in classification, marking and heating, and modifies the treatment of metal-ion batteries, endurance, and mechanical guards. It also removes Annex B and leaves references to Part 1 in force where stated.

The text refers to Table 3, Table 101, Table 102 and Figure 102, so users need the underlying Part 2-48 document to apply the amended provisions fully.

AMENDMENT 1
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.
