Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety - Part 2-39: Particular requirements for commercial electric multi-purpose cooking pans
This European Standard Deals with the safety of electrically operated commerical multi-purpose cooking pans not intended for household use. The rated voltage being not more than 250 V for single-phase appliances connected between one phase and neutral and 480 V for other appliances. Appliances within the scope of this standard are typically used in restaurants, canteens, hospitals, and commercial enterprises such as bakeries, butcheries, etc. The electrical part of appliances making use of other forms of energy is also within the scope of this standard.

Gospodinjski in podobni električni aparati - Varnost - 2-39. del: Posebne zahteve za komercialne električne večnamenske kuhalne posode - Dopolnilo A1
Ta evropski standard obravnava varnost električno gnanih komercialnih večnamenskih kuhalnih ponv, ki niso namenjene za gospodinjsko uporabo. Nazivna napetost ne presega 250 V za enofazne aparate, priključene med eno fazo in nevtralnim vodnikom, ter 480 V za druge aparate. Aparati, ki so zajeti v obseg tega standarda, se običajno uporabljajo v restavracijah, menzah, bolnišnicah in komercialnih podjetjih, kot so pekarne, mesnice itd. Električni del aparatov, ki uporabljajo druge oblike energije, je prav tako vključen v obseg tega standarda.

Overview
prEN IEC 60335-2-39:2026/prA1:2026 is a European draft amendment standard developed by CLC, focusing on the safety of electrically operated commercial multi-purpose cooking pans. This standard addresses specific safety requirements for electric cooking pans used in commercial settings, such as restaurants, canteens, hospitals, bakeries, and butcheries, where equipment is not designed for household use. The document provides updated requirements and modifications ensuring enhanced safety, reliable operation, and compliance with European directives for electrical appliances operating at voltages up to 250 V (single-phase) and 480 V (other appliances).
Key Topics
- Applicability: The standard applies to commercial electrical multi-purpose cooking pans, including those with direct current (DC) supply, and covers the electrical aspects of appliances that also make use of other energy types.
- Mechanical Hazards and Protection: Updated guidelines ensure that protective enclosures, guards, and moving parts, especially parts involved in tilting or automated basket raising/lowering, are designed to prevent injuries. There are specific safety tests for automated and motorized features.
- Handles and Lids: The amendment requires that lids be fitted with at least one handle unless motorized, to guarantee safe operation and handling.
- Automation Safety: Requirements are set for automated opening and closing mechanisms to avoid trapping or injuring users, including force, pressure, and kinetic energy thresholds for motorized lids.
- Battery Operation: Updates clarify the requirements for battery-operated appliances, referring back to the general part of IEC 60335 without specific modifications, streamlining safety expectations across different power sources.
- Document Structure and Compliance: The standard remains in close alignment with IEC/TC 61 guidance and is intended for harmonization within the EU, supporting consistent adoption and conformity assessment.
Applications
The practical application of prEN IEC 60335-2-39:2026/prA1:2026 is crucial in various commercial food service environments, ensuring the safety and reliability of electric cooking pans used for:
