Overview
This International Standard deals with the safety of electrically operated commercial appliances for keeping food and crockery warm, 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. Examples of appliances that are within the scope of this standard are hot cupboards, with or without heated tops, heated tops, heated display cases, heated crockery dispensers, heated tables and radiant heaters. These appliances are used in kitchens, for example, in restaurants, canteens and hospitals and in commercial enterprises such as bakeries and butcher's shops. By Amendment A11:2012 incorporated into the European Standard EN 60335-2-49:2003+A1:2008, commercial appliances or machines with motor-operated, movable parts have been adapted to the essential requirements of EC Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC. The responsible committee is UK 511.8 "Großküchengeräte" ("Equipment for commercial kitchens") at the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
