Overview

EN 60335-2-38:2003/A1:2008 is a European standard developed by CLC that specifies particular safety requirements for commercial electric griddles and griddle grills. This standard is an amendment (A1) to the original EN 60335-2-38:2003 and aligns with the international IEC 60335-2-38:2002/A1:2008. Focused on household and similar electrical appliances, it addresses specific safety aspects relevant to commercial cooking equipment such as electric griddles used in professional kitchens and catering businesses.

The standard ensures safe design and construction of these appliances to prevent risks related to electrical hazards, thermal dangers, and unexpected operation. It is part of a comprehensive series of safety standards covering electrical household and commercial kitchen appliances.

Key Topics

  • Scope and Application: Covers commercial electric griddles and griddle grills, focusing on safety aspects beyond general household appliance standards.
  • Classification and Protection: Appliances designed to be used on tables must have at least IPX3 water protection rating, while other appliances require at least IPX4.
  • Thermal Safety: Requires thermal cut-outs for heating elements and certain motors, mandating non-self-resetting, trip-free types to ensure reliable disconnection upon overheating.
  • Marking and Instructions: Specifies requirements for user instructions, including safety information tailored to the target audience; excludes certain instructions related to persons with reduced capabilities.
  • Construction Requirements: Addresses design elements such as electrical connections, thermal protection devices, and safe surface temperature limits.
  • Abnormal Situations: Considers abnormal operating conditions and electromagnetic interference to guarantee appliance safety during practical use.

Applications

EN 60335-2-38:2003/A1:2008 is essential for manufacturers, testing laboratories, and regulatory bodies involved in the design, production, and certification of commercial electric griddles and griddle grills. Its practical applications include:

  • Commercial Kitchens: Ensures that electric griddles used in professional environments meet rigorous safety standards.
  • Catering Equipment Production: Helps manufacturers design appliances that comply with European and international safety regulations, facilitating market approval.
  • Safety Testing & Certification: Provides a benchmark for conformity assessment, ensuring that equipment submitted for certification meets required safety criteria.
  • Product Development: Guides engineers and designers in incorporating necessary safety features related to electrical and thermal hazards.
  • Quality Assurance: Assists companies in maintaining compliance during production for consistent product safety and performance.

Related Standards

  • EN 60335-1: General safety requirements for household and similar electrical appliances; provides baseline safety rules supplemented by the particular requirements in EN 60335-2-38.
  • IEC 60335-2-38:2002/A1:2008: The corresponding international standard from IEC serving as the basis for the European standard.
  • ISO 13732-1:2006 (EN ISO 13732-1): Ergonomics of the thermal environment – Methods assessing human response to contact with hot surfaces; referenced for thermal safety considerations.
  • EN 60335-2-6: Safety for cooking ranges, ovens, and related appliances, complementing requirements when overlapping appliance families exist.
