SIST EN 60335-2-58:2005

SIST EN 60335-2-58:2005 is a Slovenian standard published by SIST for the safety of commercial electric dishwashing machines. It adopts IEC 60335-2-58:2002 with modifications and specifies particular safety requirements for electrically operated machines used to wash plates, dishes, glassware, cutlery and similar articles in non-household settings.

What does SIST EN 60335-2-58:2005 specify?

SIST EN 60335-2-58:2005 specifies the safety requirements for electrically operated dishwashing machines intended for commercial use rather than household use. It covers machines with or without water-heating or drying functions, and it sets the voltage range in the scope at up to 250 V for single-phase appliances connected between one phase and neutral and up to 480 V for other appliances.

The standard is aimed at machines used in places such as restaurants, canteens, hospitals and commercial businesses such as bakeries and butcheries. Typical machine types named in the scope are:

• conveyor dishwashers
• batch dishwashers
• brush machines

For a buyer or engineer, this matters because it helps confirm whether a machine belongs to this safety standard before you apply it in design, procurement or conformity assessment.

What are the key requirements of SIST EN 60335-2-58:2005?

The most important points in SIST EN 60335-2-58:2005 are the limits that define the appliances in scope and the environments where they are used. In practice, the standard is relevant when you need to decide whether a commercial dishwasher falls under this part of the EN 60335 safety series.

• The appliance must be electrically operated. This is the basic trigger for using this standard in safety work.
• The machine must be for washing plates, dishes, glassware, cutlery and similar articles. That tells you the intended function the product must serve.
• The appliance may include water-heating and drying functions. That matters because these extra functions still stay within the scope.
• The appliance is not for household use. This separates it from domestic dishwashers and affects which safety requirements you apply.
• The rated voltage limit is part of the scope. For a specifier, this is a quick check on whether the product fits the standard.
• The standard names common commercial machine types such as conveyor, batch and brush machines. That helps buyers and test labs identify the relevant product family.
• The intended users include commercial and institutional kitchens. That tells you the standard is written for service conditions in food service and similar operations.

What terms does SIST EN 60335-2-58:2005 use?

SIST EN 60335-2-58:2005 uses several product and application terms in its scope. These help readers match a machine to the right safety standard.

• Commercial electric dishwashing machines - electrically operated dishwashers intended for non-household use in commercial or institutional settings.
• Conveyor dishwashers - machines where articles move through the washing process on a conveyor.
• Batch dishwashers - machines that wash a loaded group of articles as one batch.
• Brush machines - dishwashing machines that use brushes as part of the cleaning process.
• Single-phase appliances - appliances connected between one phase and neutral.
• Rated voltage - the voltage value used to identify the appliance's intended electrical supply.

Who uses SIST EN 60335-2-58:2005?

SIST EN 60335-2-58:2005 is used by manufacturers, test laboratories, purchasers, and safety or quality staff who work with commercial dishwashing machines. It is also relevant in restaurants, canteens, hospitals and other commercial enterprises such as bakeries and butcheries, where the machine choice has to match the intended operating environment and electrical supply.

What does the SIST EN 60335-2-58:2005 document contain?

SIST EN 60335-2-58:2005 is a safety standard focused on a defined group of commercial dishwashing machines. The document content centers on the scope for these appliances, their intended use, and the electrical limits that determine whether a machine belongs in this part of the series.

For readers, the practical value is in classification and early design checking. It helps teams decide whether a machine should be assessed against this part of the EN 60335 safety framework before they move on to testing, purchasing or compliance work.

The front matter identifies the standard as the Slovenian edition of EN 60335-2-58 and notes its relation to IEC 60335-2-58:2002, modified.
