Overview

EN 60335-2-42:2003/A2:2024 (aligned with IEC 60335-2-42:2002/A2:2017) is a CENELEC amendment addressing safety requirements for commercial electric forced convection ovens, steam cookers and steam-convection ovens. Approved 2024-08-07, it modifies the Part 2-42 European standard and sets updated requirements for appliances used in commercial kitchens (restaurants, canteens, hospitals, bakeries) and aboard ships (Annex AA). National implementation deadlines include publication by 2025-05-15 and withdrawal of conflicting standards by 2027-11-15.

Key topics and technical requirements

• Scope and definitions: Clarifies commercial (not household) and “household and similar” use; introduces terms such as functional surface and adjacent surface.
• Marking and instructions: Requires rated pressure (kPa) on pressurised parts and a hot-surface warning (IEC 60417-5041 or equivalent text). Instructions must warn about hot steam when opening cooking compartments.
• Temperature-rise limits: Table 101 defines maximum temperature rises under normal operation for external accessible surfaces (examples):
  • Bare metal: 48 K
  • Coated metal: 59 K
  • Glass/ceramic: 65 K
  • Plastic (>0.4 mm): 74 K
  • Special rules allow local exceedance up to 25 K if marked with the hot-surface symbol.
• Measurement methods: Use of a test probe (Figure 104) applied with 4 N ± 1 N force and 30 s contact to measure surface temperature rise; steady conditions considered 60 minutes after reaching operating temperature.
• Leakage current limits: For stationary class I appliances, cord-and-plug connected leakage current is 0.75 mA or 1 mA/kW (whichever is higher) up to 10 mA; other appliances follow similar kW-based rules.
• Moisture resistance and spillage testing: Specifies spillage solution composition (≈1% NaCl + 0.6% rinsing agent) and references a rinsing agent formula (Plurafac® LF 221 example).
• Environmental and mechanical references: Adds normative references like IEC 60068 series (vibration, shock, salt mist), IEC 60584-1 (thermocouples), and ISO fastener standards.

Applications and users

Who uses EN 60335-2-42:

• Manufacturers of commercial convection ovens, steam cookers and combination ovens for CE marking and market access in CENELEC countries
• Test laboratories and conformity assessment bodies performing safety and type testing
• Certification and regulatory compliance teams ensuring installations meet national adoption of CENELEC requirements
• Designers and R&D engineers specifying materials, controls and safety interlocks

Practical benefits:

• Ensures consistent safety performance for commercial cooking appliances
• Reduces risk of burns, electric shock and moisture-related failures
• Supports product certification and market acceptance across Europe

Related standards

• IEC 60335-1 (general safety requirements)
• IEC 60335-2-42 (base international text)
• IEC 60068-2-6, -2-27, -2-52 (environmental testing)
