Overview

EN 60335-2-49:2003/A2:2019 is a CENELEC adoption of IEC 60335-2-49 amendment A2 that defines particular safety requirements for commercial electric appliances for keeping food and crockery warm. The amendment (approved 2019) updates the original Part 2‑49 requirements to clarify definitions, marking, heating tests and temperature‑rise limits, and supports conformity with the EU Low Voltage Directive (2014/35/EU). Typical scope covers appliances used in restaurants, canteens, hospitals, bakeries and similar commercial settings (but not continuous mass food production).

Key topics and technical requirements

• Scope and classification
  • Applies to commercial appliances intended for keeping food and crockery warm; appliances shall be Class I or Class II.
  • Clarifies that crockery is considered a functional surface (not a surface for temperature-rise measurement).
• Definitions
  • Introduces terms such as functional surface (intentionally heated surface) and adjacent surface (can become hot by conduction).
• Marking and instructions
  • Requires visible markings (e.g., IEC 60417‑5041 symbol or the text “CAUTION: Hot surfaces”) for external accessible surfaces that may exceed temperature limits.
  • Symbol triangle height must be at least 15 mm and markings must remain visible in normal operation.
• Temperature-rise limits and heating tests
  • Defines maximum temperature rises (Table 101) for external accessible surfaces under normal operation, e.g.:
    • Bare metal: 48 K
    • Coated metal: 59 K
    • Glass and ceramic: 65 K
    • Plastic (coating > 0.4 mm): 74 K
  • Allows local exceedance up to 25 K within 100 mm of adjacent surfaces if the area is marked.
  • Measurement method: uses a specified probe (applied with 4 N ± 1 N, 30 s contact) and steady conditions are considered 60 minutes after reaching normal operating temperature.
• Normative references
  • Adds referenced standards such as IEC 60584‑1 (thermocouples) and ISO fastener standards (ISO 898‑1, ISO 3506 series).

Applications - who uses this standard

• Manufacturers and product designers of commercial food‑service warmers, bain‑maries, warming cabinets and heated displays - for safe design and compliance.
• Test laboratories and conformity assessors - for performing temperature‑rise and safety tests specified in the standard.
• Compliance engineers and notified bodies - to demonstrate conformity with the Low Voltage Directive (LVD) and national implementations.
• Procurement and facility managers - to specify safe equipment for commercial kitchens, hospitals and canteens.

Related standards

• EN 60335‑1 (Part 1 general requirements)
• IEC 60335‑2‑49 (base international standard)
• IEC 60584‑1; ISO 898‑1; ISO 3506‑1/2/3/4 (referenced normative documents)

This standard is essential when specifying or testing commercial heating/warming appliances to ensure consumer safety, regulatory compliance and clear marking for hot surfaces. Keywords: EN 60335-2-49, commercial electric appliances, keeping food warm, temperature rise limits, IEC 60335-2-49, Low Voltage Directive, hot surfaces marking.

Annex ZZA
(informative)
Relationship between this European Standard and the safety objectives of
Directive 2014/35/EU [2014 OJ L96] aimed to be covered
This European Standard has been prepared under a Commission’s standardization request relating to
harmonized standards in the field of the Low Voltage Directive, M/511, to provide one voluntary means
of conforming to safety objectives of Directive 2014/35/EU of the European Parliament and of the
Council of 26 February 2014 on the harmonization of the laws of the Member States relating to the
making available on the market of electrical equipment designed for use within certain voltage limits
[2014 OJ L96].
Once this standard is cited in the Official Journal of the European Union under that Directive,
compliance with the normative clauses of this standard given in Table ZZA.1 confers, within the limits
of the scope of this standard, a presumption of conformity with the corresponding safety objectives of
that Directive, and associated EFTA regulations.
Compliance with this Part 2 when used together with the Part 1 provides one means of conformity with
the safety objectives.

FOREWORD
This amendment has been prepared by IEC technical committee 61: Safety of household and
similar electrical appliances.
The text of this amendment is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
61/5363/FDIS 61/5391/RVD
Full information on the voting for the approval of this amendment can be found in the report
on voting indicated in the above table.
The committee has decided that the contents of this amendment and the base publication will
remain unchanged until the stability date indicated on the IEC website under
"http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data related to the specific publication. At this date, the
publication will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.
NOTE The attention of National Committees is drawn to the fact that equipment manufacturers and testing
organizations may need a transitional period following publication of a new, amended or revised IEC publication in
which to make products in accordance with the new requirements and to equip themselves for conducting new or
revised tests.
It is the recommendation of the committee that the content of this publication be adopted for implementation
nationally not earlier than 12 months or later than 36 months from the date of publication.

IMPORTANT – The 'colour inside' logo on the cover page of this publication indicates
that it contains colours which are considered to be useful for the correct
understanding of its contents. Users should therefore print this document using a
colour printer.
