(Amendment)Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety - Part 2-50: Particular requirements for commercial electric bains-marie
General Information
- Abstract
This Standard deals with the safety of electrically operated commercial bains-marie, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V for single-phase appliances connected between one phase and neutral, and 480 V for other appliances. These appliances are not intended for household and similar purposes. They are used for commercial processing of food, also in areas open to the public, for example in kitchens of restaurants, canteens, hospitals and in commercial enterprises such as bakeries and butcheries. The electrical part of appliances making use of other forms of energy is also within the scope of this standard.
