- les appareils pour le stockage du mélange de crème à fouetter dans un réservoir réfrigéré et pour le fouettage de la crème avant le procédé de livraison.
L'attention est attirée sur le fait que:
– pour les appareils destinés à être utilisés dans des véhicules ou à bord de navires ou d'avions, des exigences supplémentaires peuvent être nécessaires;
– dans de nombreux pays, des exigences supplémentaires sont spécifiées par les autorités sanitaires nationales, les organismes nationaux en charge de la protection des travailleurs, les organismes nationaux responsables de l'alimentation en eau et des organismes analogues.
La présente norme ne s'applique pas:
– aux appareils équipés d'un système de réfrigération fonctionnant avec un fluide frigorigène inflammable;
– aux sorbetières destinées à un usage domestique (IEC 60335-2-24);
– aux appareils prévus exclusivement pour des usages industriels;
– aux appareils destinés à être utilisés dans des locaux présentant des conditions particulières, telles que la présence d'une atmosphère corrosive ou explosive (poussière, vapeur ou gaz).
La présente partie 2 doit être utilisée conjointement avec la dernière édition de l'IEC 60335-1 et ses amendements. Elle a été établie sur la base de la cinquième édition (2010) de cette norme.
Le contenu du corrigendum d'août 2021 a été pris en considération dans cet exemplaire.

Overview

IEC 60335-2-118:2020 is an international safety standard published by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) that specifically addresses the safety requirements for professional ice-cream makers. This standard forms part 2-118 within the IEC 60335 series, which deals broadly with the safety of household and similar electrical appliances.

Targeting commercial and professional appliances, IEC 60335-2-118 covers ice cream and artisan gelato makers that use refrigeration systems with rated voltages not exceeding 250 V for single-phase and 480 V for other appliances. The standard ensures safe operation where devices may be used by non-experts such as artisans, store employees, or on farms, and it encompasses appliances with built-in or remote refrigerant condensing units.

This standard supplements IEC 60335-1, the general safety standard for household appliances, by providing specific safety requirements and test methods appropriate to professional ice-cream making machines. It does not cover household-use machines (covered by IEC 60335-2-24), appliances operating with flammable refrigerants, or industrial machines intended exclusively for industrial environments.

Key Topics

  • Scope and Application: The standard applies to electrical appliances used commercially or professionally for making ice cream, artisan gelato, or similar frozen products. It also covers appliances that combine heating processes with freezing, and cream whipping/storage devices.

  • Safety Requirements: These address hazards such as electric shock, mechanical injury, thermal burns, fire, radiation, and toxic exposure related to refrigerants and electrical components.

  • Testing and Classification: It details methods for endurance, abnormal operation, leakage current tests, insulation, transient overvoltages, humidity resistance, and mechanical strength tests relevant to professional ice-cream makers.

  • Marking and Instructions: Requirements ensure that appliances carry clear labels, warnings, and operating instructions to protect users, including those who may not be specialized technicians.

  • Electrical Parameters: Standards for power input, current limits, motor starting behavior, and overload protection ensure that appliances perform safely and reliably under normal and abnormal conditions.

  • Construction and Components: Rules for internal wiring, grounding, connections, insulation, and other critical components ensure long-term equipment safety.

  • Additional Considerations: The standard highlights geographical and usage-specific considerations such as additional regulations for appliances used in vehicles, ships, or tropical climates.

Applications

The IEC 60335-2-118:2020 standard is critical for manufacturers, designers, and safety officers involved with the production and certification of professional ice-cream makers used in:

  • Ice cream parlors and gelato shops
  • Commercial kitchens and food service outlets
  • Artisan food producers employing refrigerated mixing and freezing
  • Farms and rural stores offering fresh ice cream and whipped cream products
  • Retail environments where non-specialist operators use professional ice-cream equipment

By adhering to this standard, companies ensure product safety compliance, reduce risk of accidents related to electrical and mechanical hazards, and meet regulatory requirements for electrical appliances in commercial environments. This also facilitates smoother market access internationally by meeting IEC harmonized safety criteria.

Related Standards

  • IEC 60335-1: General safety requirements for household and similar electrical appliances; forms the core framework for this standard’s application.

  • IEC 60335-2-24: Covers safety requirements for household ice cream makers (non-professional appliances).

  • IEC 60364: Pertains to electrical installations for buildings and wiring rules compatible with appliance connection.

  • ISO 13732-1: Addresses hot surface temperature limits but is generally superseded by IEC 60335-2-118 for professional ice-cream machines.

  • National and regional safety and health regulations concerning electrical appliances, refrigeration safety, and food hygiene that complement and may augment IEC 60335-2-118 requirements.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their
preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.

appliances – Safety, can be found on the IEC website.
This part 2 is to be used in conjunction with the latest edition of IEC 60335-1 and its
amendments. It was established on the basis of the fifth edition (2010) of that standard.

NOTE 1 When “Part 1” is mentioned in this standard, it refers to IEC 60335-1.
This part 2 supplements or modifies the corresponding clauses in IEC 60335-1, so as to convert
that publication into the IEC standard: Safety requirements for professional ice-cream makers.
When a particular subclause of Part 1 is not mentioned in this part 2, that subclause applies as
far as is reasonable. When this standard states “addition”, “modification” or “replacement”, the
relevant text in Part 1 is to be adapted accordingly.
NOTE 2 The following numbering system is used:
– subclauses, tables and figures that are numbered starting from 101 are additional to those in Part 1;
– unless notes are in a new subclause or involve notes in Part 1, they are numbered starting from 101, including
those in a replaced clause or subclause;
– additional annexes are lettered AA, BB, etc.
NOTE 3 The following print types are used:
– requirements: in roman type;
– test specifications: in italic type;
– notes: in small roman type.
Words in bold in the text are defined in Clause 3. When a definition concerns an adjective, the adjective and the
associated noun are also in bold.
The committee has decided that the contents of this document will remain unchanged until the
stability date indicated on the IEC website under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data related to
the specific document. At this date, the document will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.

INTRODUCTION
It has been assumed in the drafting of this international standard that the execution of its
provisions is entrusted to appropriately qualified and experienced persons.
This standard recognizes the internationally accepted level of protection against hazards such
as electrical, mechanical, thermal, fire and radiation of appliances when operated as in normal
use taking into account the manufacturer's instructions. It also covers abnormal situations that
can be expected in practice and takes into account the way in which electromagnetic
phenomena can affect the safe operation of appliances.
This standard takes into account the requirements of IEC 60364 as far as possible so that there
is compatibility with the wiring rules when the appliance is connected to the supply mains.
However, national wiring rules may differ.
If an appliance within the scope of this standard also incorporates functions that are covered
by another part 2 of IEC 60335, the relevant part 2 is applied to each function separately, as
far as is reasonable. If applicable, the influence of one function on the other is taken into
account.
When a part 2 standard does not include additional requirements to cover hazards dealt with in
Part 1, Part 1 applies.
NOTE 1 This means that the technical committees responsible for the part 2 standards have determined that it is
not necessary to specify particular requirements for the appliance in question over and above the general
requirements.
This standard is a product family standard dealing with the safety of appliances and takes
precedence over horizontal and generic standards covering the same subject.
NOTE 2 Horizontal and generic standards covering a hazard are not applicable since they have been taken into
consideration when developing the general and particular requirements for the IEC 60335 series of standards. For
example, in the case of temperature requirements for surfaces on many appliances, generic standards, such as
ISO 13732-1 for hot surfaces, are not applicable in addition to Part 1 or part 2 standards.
An appliance that complies with the text of this standard will not necessarily be considered to
comply with the safety principles of the standard if, when examined and tested, it is found to
have other features that impair the level of safety covered by these requirements.
An appliance employing materials or having forms of construction differing from those detailed
in the requirements of this standard may be examined and tested according to the intent of the
requirements and, if found to be substantially equivalent, may be considered to comply with the
standard.
