SIST EN 60335-2-42:2003/A1:2009

Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety -- Part 2-42: Particular requirements for commercial electric forced convection ovens, steam cookers and steam-convection ovens

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 with in the scope of this standard are typically used in restaurants, canteens, hospitals and commercial enterprises such as bakeries, butcheries, etc. The electrical part of appliances making use of other forms of energy is also within the scope of this standard.

Gospodinjski in podobni električni aparati - Varnost - 2-42. del: Posebne zahteve za komercialne električne pečice s prisilnim kroženjem zraka, parne kuhalnike in pečice s kroženjem pare (IEC 60335-2-42:2002/A1:2008)

Standard obravnava varnost električno upravljanih komercialnih pečic s prisilnim kroženjem zraka, parnih kuhalnikov, pečic s kroženjem pare in generatorjev pare (ki so namenjeni izključno tej uporabi), ki niso namenjeni gospodinjski uporabi. Nazivna napetost mora biti manjša od 250 V za enofazne aparate, priključene med fazo in nevtralni vodnik, in 480 V za ostale aparate. Aparati, ki spadajo v področje uporabe tega standarda, se običajno uporabljajo v restavracijah, menzah, bolnišnicah in komercialnih podjetjih, kot so pekarne, mesnice itd. Tudi električni del aparatov, ki uporabljajo druge vire energije, spada v področje uporabe tega standarda.

Overview

SIST EN 60335-2-42:2003/A1:2009 is a European standard developed by CLC (European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization) that specifies particular safety requirements for commercial electric forced convection ovens, steam cookers, and steam-convection ovens. It is part of the broader IEC 60335 series, which deals with the safety of household and similar electrical appliances. This amendment A1 updates the original 2003 edition to reflect enhanced safety measures applicable to professional cooking appliances used in commercial settings.

Designed for commercial catering equipment, this standard focuses on preventing hazards associated with high temperatures, steam, electrical faults, and abnormal operating conditions. It also harmonizes requirements across European countries to ensure consistent product safety and market acceptance.

Key Topics

• Scope and Application
  Covers safety protocols specifically for commercial electric forced convection ovens, steam cookers, and combined steam-convection ovens used in professional kitchens. Applies to appliances powered by electricity for cooking ranges, working tables, ovens, and similar equipment.

• Safety Requirements
  Addresses both general and particular risks including electrical, thermal, and mechanical hazards. Includes protection against overheating through the use of non-self-resetting, trip-free thermal cut-outs and requirements for electrical disconnection.

• Ingress Protection (IP) Ratings
  Appliances used on tables must have a minimum IP rating of IPX3, while standing appliances require at least IPX4, ensuring protection against water ingress to avoid electrical hazards.

• Marking and Instructions
  Mandates clear, permanent warning signs about scalding dangers to be displayed on appliances and trolleys at specified heights. Instructions must highlight precautions to avoid burns from hot liquids or cooking goods.

• Design and Construction
  Specifies construction requirements to enhance safety, such as the automatic and independent operation of thermal cut-outs, and ensures robustness against capillary tube rupture in thermal devices. It also details requirements for thermal cut-outs protecting heating elements and motors.

• Handling Abnormal Situations
  The standard covers abnormal operating conditions and considers electromagnetic effects that may impact appliance safety, ensuring products remain safe under unexpected electrical disturbances.

Applications

SIST EN 60335-2-42:2003/A1:2009 is essential for manufacturers, testing laboratories, and certification bodies involved with:

• Manufacturing and testing of commercial electric forced convection ovens.
• Design and safety assessment of professional steam cookers and combined steam-convection ovens.
• Catering equipment suppliers seeking compliance with European safety legislation.
• Commercial kitchens and food service businesses requiring appliances that meet harmonized safety standards.
• Regulatory authorities enforcing safety standards for kitchen electrical appliances.

Leveraging this standard helps reduce risks such as electrical shock, burns, fire hazards, and equipment failure in commercial kitchens, promoting safer work environments.

Related Standards

• EN 60335-1: General safety requirements for household and similar electrical appliances.
• IEC 60335-2-42: International version of this standard providing global safety requirements.
• ISO 13732-1: Ergonomics of the thermal environment - assessment methods for hot surfaces to prevent burns.
• ISO 3864-1: Safety colours and safety signs - design principles for workplace safety signage.

Adherence to SIST EN 60335-2-42:2003/A1:2009 along with these related standards ensures comprehensive conformity with international and European safety regulations for commercial electric cooking appliances.
