Overview
prEN IEC 60335-2-37:2026/prA1:2026 is a draft European Standard prepared by CENELEC that specifies particular safety requirements for commercial electric doughnut fryers and deep fat fryers. This standard is part of the broader IEC 60335 series, which addresses safety for household and similar electrical appliances. Target appliances can be both standard and pressurized types, as long as they operate at pressures not exceeding 50 kPa and have a pressure-volume product not exceeding 200 liters, with rated voltages up to 250 V (single phase) or 480 V (other appliances).
This amendment, currently at the enquiry stage, aims to ensure these appliances are safe for commercial use in settings such as restaurants, cafés, bakeries, and catering establishments.
Key Topics
- Scope of Application: Covers safety for electrically operated commercial doughnut and deep fat fryers, including pressurized units within specific voltage and pressure limits.
- Direct Current Appliances: Now includes direct current (DC) supplied appliances, expanding the types of equipment covered.
- Mechanical Safety: Special focus on automated basket and lid mechanisms to prevent entrapment of fingers or hands and hazards from motorized lid movements.
- Protective Features: Requirements for enclosures, guards, and interlocks to ensure mechanical strength and user safety during operation, cleaning, and maintenance.
- Stability and Hazard Prevention: Includes criteria for stability, secure assembly, and avoidance of mechanical hazards associated with moving parts.
- Battery Operation: Removes exceptions for battery-operated appliances, aligning requirements with the general safety standard for household appliances.
Applications
The standard is critical for manufacturers, suppliers, and safety engineers involved in the design, production, and certification of commercial kitchen fryers. Practical applications include:
- Product Design: Ensuring that commercial fryers meet stringent safety features like robust interlocks and safe automated movements for baskets and lids.
- Compliance Testing: Supporting laboratories and certification bodies to assess conformity with European and international safety criteria.
- Market Access: Facilitating easier entry into the European market by aligning with harmonized standards, a key requirement for CE marking.
- Risk Reduction: Minimizing workplace injuries in food service settings by mandating features that prevent finger and hand entrapment and ensuring equipment stability.
