oSIST prEN IEC 60335-2-36:2026/oprA1:2026 is a SIST draft amendment to the safety standard for commercial electric cooking ranges, ovens, hobs and hob elements. It updates the requirements for electrically operated appliances up to 250 V for single-phase supply between phase and neutral and 480 V for other appliances, and it is based on IEC 60335-2-36:2021/AMD1:2025.
What does oSIST prEN IEC 60335-2-36:2026/oprA1:2026 specify?
oSIST prEN IEC 60335-2-36:2026/oprA1:2026 specifies changes to the European standard for the safety of commercial electric cooking and baking equipment. The amendment applies to ranges, ovens, hobs, hob elements and similar appliances, and it extends the scope to direct current (DC) supplied appliances.
The document is organized as targeted changes to the main text and one annex. The foreword says it is read together with prEN IEC 60335-2-36:2026 and prEN IEC 60335-2-36:2026/prAA:2026.
| Annex | What it covers |
|---|---|
| B | Battery-operated appliances, separable batteries and detachable batteries for battery-operated appliances - deleted so that Part 1 applies without modification |
What are the key requirements of oSIST prEN IEC 60335-2-36:2026/oprA1:2026?
oSIST prEN IEC 60335-2-36:2026/oprA1:2026 mainly revises the scope, battery-related provisions and stability and guarding requirements. For manufacturers and test laboratories, the practical effect is that several special cases are brought under the general Part 1 rules or reworded in the Part 2-36 text.
- Clause 1 adds direct current (DC) supplied appliances. DC-powered commercial cooking equipment now falls under the same safety framework as the other covered appliances.
- Clause 3.1.9 is amended. Users should apply the updated definition wording when classifying the appliance or part concerned.
- Clause 11 and Clause 11.7 are amended. This affects the heating-related safety checks that are part of applying the standard.
- Clause 12 on charging of metal-ion batteries is replaced with a direct reference to Part 1. In practice, charging safety is handled through the general standard rather than a special Part 2-36 text.
- Clause 20.2 adds a requirement for protective enclosures, guards and similar parts to be non-detachable or interlocked and to have adequate mechanical strength. This matters for access protection, serviceability and mechanical robustness in normal use.
- Annex B is deleted so that Part 1 applies without modification to battery-operated appliances, separable batteries and detachable batteries. This simplifies the battery-related structure of the standard.
What terms does oSIST prEN IEC 60335-2-36:2026/oprA1:2026 define?
- Commercial electric cooking ranges, ovens, hobs and hob elements - The appliances covered by the standard for commercial cooking and baking use.
- Direct current (DC) - A supply type added to the scope, covering appliances powered by DC.
- Metal-ion batteries - Batteries addressed in Clause 12 for charging-related safety provisions.
- Battery-operated appliances - Appliances powered by batteries, named in Annex B.
- Separable batteries - Batteries that can be separated from the appliance, also named in Annex B.
- Detachable batteries - Batteries intended to be detached from battery-operated appliances, also named in Annex B.
Who uses oSIST prEN IEC 60335-2-36:2026/oprA1:2026?
oSIST prEN IEC 60335-2-36:2026/oprA1:2026 is used by manufacturers and designers of commercial cooking equipment, test laboratories, certification bodies, quality managers and buyers specifying equipment for professional kitchens. They use it to design safer products, plan tests, check conformity and write procurement or technical requirements.
What changed in oSIST prEN IEC 60335-2-36:2026/oprA1:2026 from the previous edition?
oSIST prEN IEC 60335-2-36:2026/oprA1:2026 is based on IEC 60335-2-36:2021/AMD1:2025 and modifies prEN IEC 60335-2-36:2026. The amendments stated in the document are the extension of the scope to DC supplied appliances, updates to Clause 3.1.9, Clause 11 and Clause 11.7, replacement of Clause 12 with a Part 1 reference, a new Clause 20.2 text on guards and enclosures, and deletion of Annex B.
Which standards are used with oSIST prEN IEC 60335-2-36:2026/oprA1:2026?
The foreword says oSIST prEN IEC 60335-2-36:2026/oprA1:2026 is read in conjunction with prEN IEC 60335-2-36:2026 and prEN IEC 60335-2-36:2026/prAA:2026. The amendment text is based on IEC 60335-2-36:2021/AMD1:2025.
What does the oSIST prEN IEC 60335-2-36:2026/oprA1:2026 document contain?
The document contains the amendment instructions for the covered clauses and annex. It shows the revised scope wording, the changes to terms and definitions, the heating-related updates, the battery-charging clause, the new stability and mechanical hazard wording, and the deletion of Annex B.
It also includes the CENELEC foreword, the enquiry status note and the publication notices. In practice, that means the document is meant for review and comment before it is finalized.
