Part 2-37: Particular requirements for commercial electric
doughnut fryers and deep fat fryers

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.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This part of International Standard IEC 60335 has been prepared by IEC technical committee
61: Safety of household and similar electrical appliances.
This bilingual version (2019-02) corresponds to the monolingual English version, published in

INTRODUCTION
It has been assumed in the drafting of this International Standard that the execution of its
provisions is entrusted to appropriately qualified and experienced persons.
This standard recognizes the internationally accepted level of protection against hazards such
as electrical, mechanical, thermal, fire and radiation of appliances when operated as in
normal use taking into account the manufacturer's instructions. It also covers abnormal
situations that can be expected in practice and takes into account the way in which
electromagnetic phenomena can affect the safe operation of appliances.
This standard takes into account the requirements of IEC 60364 as far as possible so that
there is compatibility with the wiring rules when the appliance is connected to the supply
mains. However, national wiring rules may differ.
If an appliance within the scope of this standard also incorporates functions that are covered
by another part 2 of IEC 60335, the relevant part 2 is applied to each function separately, as
far as is reasonable. If applicable, the influence of one function on the other is taken into
account.
This standard is a product family standard dealing with the safety of appliances and takes
precedence over horizontal and generic standards covering the same subject.
NOTE 2 Horizontal and generic standards covering a hazard are not applicable since they have been taken into
consideration when developing the general and particular requirements for the IEC 60335 series of standards. For
example, in the case of temperature requirements for surfaces on many appliances, generic standards, such as
ISO 13732-1 for hot surfaces, are not applicable in addition to Part 1 or part 2 standards.
An appliance that complies with the text of this standard will not necessarily be considered to
comply with the safety principles of the standard if, when examined and tested, it is found to
have other features that impair the level of safety covered by these requirements.
An appliance employing materials or having forms of construction differing from those detailed
in the requirements of this standard may be examined and tested according to the intent of
the requirements and, if found to be substantially equivalent, may be considered to comply
with the standard.

immersed in water for cleaning shall be marked with a line that clearly indicates the maximum
depth of immersion, together with the substance of the following warning:
Do not immerse beyond this line.
If there is any seam or seal that causes the appliance or part not to withstand the treatment
specified in 15.102, the line indicating the maximum depth of immersion shall be at least
50 mm below any such seam or seal when the appliance or the part is in the position in which
it is to be cleaned.
Compliance is checked by inspection and measurement.
7.103 Appliances shall be marked with the minimum and maximum fat or oil levels.
Compliance is checked by inspection.
8 Protection against access to live parts
This clause of Part 1 is applicable.
9 Starting of motor-operated appliances
This clause of Part 1 is applicable except as follows.

– 14 – IEC 60335-2-37:2017 © IEC 2017
9.101 Fan motors providing a cooling effect in order to comply with the requirements of
Clause 11 shall start under all voltage conditions that may occur in use.
Compliance is checked by the following tests using a supply source such that its drop in
voltage does not exceed 1 % during the tests. The appliance being returned to the ambient
temperature specified in 5.7 after each test.
The appliance is started under the conditions occurring at the beginning of normal operation
or, for automatic appliances, at the beginning of the normal cycle of operation, a voltage
equal to 0,85 times rated voltage being applied to the input terminals of the appliance.
For appliances provided with motors having other than centrifugal starting switches, this test
is repeated at a voltage equal to 1,06 times rated voltage being applied to the input terminals
of the appliance.
The tests are carried out three times.
In all cases, the motor shall start and it shall function in such a way that safety is not affected
and overload protection devices of the motor shall not operate.
10 Power input and current
This clause of Part 1 is applicable except as follows.
10.1 Addition:
For appliances having more than one heating unit, the total power input may be determined
by measuring the power input of each heating unit separately (see also 3.1.4).
11 Heating
This clause of Part 1 is applicable except as follows.
11.2 Addition:
Appliances intended to be fixed to the floor and appliances with a mass greater than 40 kg
and not provided with rollers, castors or similar means are installed in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions. If no instructions are given, these appliances are considered as
appliances normally placed on the floor.
11.2 Addition:
The temperature of the fat or oil is measured 25 mm below the surface in the center of the
container but not closer than 10 mm to the heating element.
Where the external accessible surfaces are suitably flat and access permits, then the test
probe of Figure 102 is used to measure the temperature rises of external accessible
± 1 N to the surface
surfaces specified in Table 101. The probe is applied with a force of 4 N
in such a way that the best possible contact between the probe and the surface is ensured.
The measurement is performed after a contact period of 30 s.
The probe may be held in place using a laboratory stand clamp or similar device. Any
measuring instrument giving the same results as the probe may be used.
11.4 Replacement:
IEC 60335-2-37:2017 © IEC 2017 – 15 –
Appliances are operated under normal operation such that the total power input of the
appliance is 1,15 times rated power input. If it is not possible to switch on all heating
elements at the same time, the test is made with each of the combinations that the switch
arrangement will allow, the highest load possible with each switching arrangement being in
circuit.
If the appliance is provided with a control that limits the total power input, the test is made
with whichever combination of heating units, as may be selected by the control, imposes the
most severe condition.
If the temperature rise limits of motors, transformers or electronic circuits are exceeded, the
test is repeated with the appliance supplied at 1,06 times rated voltage. In this case only the
temperature rises of motors, transformers or electronic circuits are measured.
11.7 Replacement:
Appliances are operated until steady conditions are established.
Steady conditions are considered to exist 60 min after reaching the temperatures defined for
normal operation.
When an appliance is assembled in combination with, equipped with or incorporating
accessories or other appliances the interaction shall be covered if they are provided to
operate simultaneously as stated by the manufacturer or by a common control.
Tilting motors are operated immediately after the appliance has reached steady conditions, for
one full cycle of operation (one cycle being from the fully up position to the fully down position
and back to the fully up position).
Lifting motors are similarly operated, but for three such cycles.
11.8 Addition:
The temperature of the oil or fat is measured at least 10 mm from the wall of the container
and 10 mm above the bottom. However, the temperature is measured 10 mm above the
highest point of heating elements if they are located in the container.
The maximum temperature of the fat or oil shall not exceed 200 °C.
During the test, the temperature rises are monitored continuously and shall not exceed the
values shown in Table 3 and Table 101 and the pressure relief device shall not operate.
