Introduction
p Add:
An investigation by CENELEC TC 61 has shown that all risks from products within the scope of this
standard are fully covered by the Low Voltage Directive, 73/23/EEC. For products having mechanical
moving parts, a risk assessment in accordance with the Machinery Directive, 98/37/EC, has shown that
the risks are mainly of electrical origin and consequently this directive is not applicable. However, the
relevant essential safety requirements of the Machinery Directive are covered by this standard together
with the principal objectives of the Low Voltage Directive.

Part 2-38: Particular requirements
for commercial electric griddles and griddle grills


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 provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
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.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This part of International Standard IEC 60335 has been prepared by IEC subcommittee 61E:
Safety of electrical commercial catering equipment, of IEC technical committee 61: Safety of
household and similar electrical appliances.
This fifth edition cancels and replaces the fourth edition published in 2000. It constitutes a
technical revision.
This bilingual version, published in 2005-01, corresponds to the English version.

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.
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.
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.
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.

1 Scope
This clause of Part 1 is replaced by the following.
This International Standard deals with the safety of electrically operated commercial griddles
and griddle grills not intended for household use, 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.
NOTE 101 These appliances are used for example 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.
As far as is practicable, this standard deals with the common hazards presented by these
types of appliances.
NOTE 102 Attention is drawn to the fact that
– for appliances intended to be used in vehicles or on board ships or aircraft, additional requirements may be
necessary;
– in many countries additional requirements are specified by the national health authorities, the
national authorities responsible for the protection of labour, the national water supply authorities and similar
authorities.
NOTE 103 This standard does not apply to
– appliances designed exclusively for industrial purposes;
– appliances intended to be used in locations where special conditions prevail, such as the presence of a
corrosive or explosive atmosphere (dust, vapour or gas);
– continuous process appliances for the mass production of food;
– grillers and toasters (IEC 60335-2-48);
– appliances incorporating induction heating sources.

operation of the appliance under the following conditions
Appliances are operated in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions with no load and
with the controls set to give the temperatures as set out below, the temperature being
measured at the hottest point of each controlled cooking surface.
Stepped controls are set to the first position that gives a temperature equal to or greater than
275 °C. Cycling controls are set so that the mean value of the temperature over the cycle is
275 °C ± 5 °C. If this temperature cannot be reached, the control is set at the maximum.
Griddle grills are operated open or closed whichever is the more unfavourable. When in the
closed position, the plates are separated by a heat-resistant low-conductivity spacer panel
10 mm thick and having an area equal to the smaller of the cooking areas of the two heating
plates.
For griddle grills where both plates are not separately controlled, the control is adjusted so
that the conditions set out above are achieved on the directly controlled plate. Where both
plates are separately controlled, the conditions set out apply to both plates.
Motors incorporated in the appliance are operated in the intended manner under the most
severe conditions that can be expected in normal use taking into account the manufacturer's
instructions.
