Overview
IEC 60335-2-64:2002/AMD2:2017 is an important amendment to the international standard focusing on the safety of commercial electric kitchen machines. Published by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), this amendment updates the third edition (2017) of Part 2-64 in the IEC 60335 series, which covers household and similar electrical appliances with particular attention to commercial kitchen equipment.
This standard ensures safety requirements specific to commercial electric kitchen machines used in professional environments such as restaurants, canteens, hospitals, bakeries, and butcheries. Its application extends to machines not intended for continuous mass food production but for commercial food processing and preparation.
Key Topics
Scope and Application:
Defines appliances intended for commercial food processing, excluding those for household or continuous mass production use, specifying environments such as commercial kitchens and similar settings.Normative References:
Includes mechanical and corrosion resistance standards for fasteners (e.g., ISO 898-1, ISO 3506 series for stainless steel fasteners) to ensure robust and durable assembly components.Terminology and Definitions:
Clarifies operating conditions including the requirement for appliances to operate without load during testing.Safety Marking and Instructions:
Updates marking instructions to clarify the commercial nature of applications and the necessity of flexible connections for cleaning mobility in stationary appliances equipped with rollers or castors.Electrical Safety Requirements:
Revised leakage current limits for cord-connected and other appliances, accounting for rated power input with specific boundaries depending on the appliance class and type (portable vs. stationary).Mechanical and Construction Requirements:
Modifications include requirements for unique start/stop device functions, mechanical strength of screws and connections, and construction criteria ensuring electrical continuity and resistance to loosening from operational stress.Resistance to Heat and Fire:
Glow-wire testing requirements specify a minimum temperature of 650 °C to verify appliance fire safety according to IEC 60695-2-12.Special Annex for Tropical Climates:
Provides guidance for adjusting leakage current limits to accommodate increased environmental stresses in tropical regions.
Applications
This standard amendment is applicable to commercial kitchens, food service establishments, hospitals, bakeries, butcheries, and similar commercial food enterprise environments. It addresses:
- Safety and functional requirements for electric kitchen machines such as mixers, peelers, washers, and dryers used by professionals.
- Ensuring electrical and mechanical safety to protect operators and prevent equipment failure during commercial food processing.
- Addressing cleaning and maintenance issues by defining appliance mobility and flexible connections in cleaning zones.
- Adaptation of electrical safety parameters in diverse climates, including tropical environments, ensuring global applicability.
Manufacturers, testing bodies, and regulatory authorities leverage IEC 60335-2-64 to certify that commercial kitchen machines meet internationally recognized safety, construction, and operational standards, facilitating safer workplace environments and compliance with global market regulations.
