• 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.

Overview

oSIST prEN IEC 60335-2-48:2026/oprA1:2026 is a draft European Standard developed by CENELEC (European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization). This standard specifies important safety requirements for commercial electric grillers and toasters, ensuring they are suitable for professional use and not intended for household environments. The requirements target appliances with a rated voltage of no more than 250 V for single-phase units and up to 480 V for others, covering devices used in commercial kitchens, restaurants, canteens, hospitals, bakeries, butcheries, and similar professional settings.

This amendment defines particular requirements that address the unique risks and use scenarios of commercial electric grillers, toasters, rotisseries, salamanders, and similar appliances operating primarily through radiant heat.

Key Topics

• Scope and Objectives

  • Applies to electrically operated commercial grillers and toasters not intended for household use.
  • Includes rotary or continuous grillers, toasters, and appliances used for grilling by radiant heat.
  • Excludes appliances for use in hotel rooms, motel rooms, and other residential-type environments.

• User & Location Specification

  • Appliances are to be used only by trained personnel or laypersons, depending on the installation area (e.g., public self-service vs. professional kitchens).
  • Addresses specific safety instructions for devices not marked with sufficient ingress protection (IP) for wet environments.

• Mechanical & Thermal Safety

  • Covers requirements for mechanical stability, ensuring enclosures and guards are robust and cannot be easily removed.
  • Specifies temperature limitations for accessible parts, with marking requirements when limits are exceeded near operational areas.

• Marking & Instructions

  • Requires clear warnings and instructions, especially regarding the suitability for use in commercial kitchens and the importance of proper cleaning processes.
  • Mandates the use of standardized symbols and safety texts when certain conditions (e.g., surface temperature limits) apply.

• Battery & Endurance Considerations

  • Eliminates specific annexes for battery-operated appliances, defaulting to general safety provisions.

Applications

Adhering to oSIST prEN IEC 60335-2-48:2026/oprA1:2026 is critical for manufacturers, suppliers, and operators of commercial electric kitchen appliances. Its impact includes:

• Commercial Food Service: Ensures appliances in restaurants, cafes, canteens, and industrial kitchens remain safe under intensive, continuous use by trained staff or self-service customers.
• Healthcare and Institutional Catering: Provides assurance for the safe operation of grillers and toasters in hospitals and institutions, protecting both operators and end-users.
• Retail Food Production: Encompasses applications in bakeries and butcheries, where equipment reliability and operator safety are essential.
• Product Certification & Market Access: Compliance supports product certification, conformity assessment, and access to the European market by meeting harmonized safety obligations.
• Maintenance & Cleaning Guidance: The standard clarifies requirements for cleaning processes and maintenance, reducing operational risks in busy kitchen environments.

Related Standards

For complete safety, design, and operation requirements, consider the following related standards:

• IEC 60335-1: Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety - Part 1: General requirements (basis for all appliance-specific standards).
• EN IEC 60335-2-x Series: A range of safety standards for particular types of household and commercial appliances.
• IEC 60417: Graphical symbols for use on equipment (referencing symbols for marking requirements).
• Regulations on Low Voltage Directive (LVD): For market access in the EU and alignment with requirements for electrical safety.
• ISO/IEC Directives: Procedures and guidelines for the development and application of standards.

Conclusion

oSIST prEN IEC 60335-2-48:2026/oprA1:2026 is essential for ensuring the safety and reliability of commercial electric grillers and toasters used outside household settings. By adhering to its particular requirements, manufacturers and operators can assure compliance, reduce risks, and foster a safer, more efficient commercial food services environment. For broader context and consistent application, reference related standards and European legislative frameworks governing electrical appliance safety.

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.
