IEC 60335-2-39:2021
Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety - Part 2-39: Particular requirements for commercial electric multi-purpose cooking pans
IEC 60335-2-39:2021 deals with the safety of electrically operated commercial multi-purpose cooking pans, 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. This standard also deals with pressurized appliances and appliances with pressurized parts.These appliances are not intended for household and similar purposes. They are used for commercial processing of food in areas not open to the public, for example in kitchens of restaurants, canteens, hospitals and in commercial enterprises such as bakeries and butcheries.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.Attention is drawn to the fact that- for appliances intended to be used in vehicles or on board ships or aircraft, additional requirements can 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.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);- appliances for continuous mass production of food;- deep fat fryers (IEC 60335-2-37);- battery-operated appliances.This seventh edition cancels and replaces the sixth edition published in 2012 and Amendment 1:2017. This edition constitutes a technical revision.This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:a) the text has been aligned with IEC 60335-1:2020;b) some notes have been converted to normative text or modified (Clause 1, 15.1, 15.102, 16.2, 19.101, 27.2);c) exclusion of battery-operated appliances and appliances used in areas open to the public (Clause 1);d) relocation of cleaning instructions from 7.12.1 to 7.12;e) relocation of 24.101 to 22.115;f) conciliation of the text of IEC 60335-2-39 with other standards under IEC/TC61/MT32;g) clarifications and modifications to some test specifications have been made (9.101, 11.4, 15.1.1, 15.102, 20.1, 25.3).This Part 2 is to be used in conjunction with the latest edition of IEC 60335-1 and its amendments unless that edition precludes it; in that case, the latest edition that does not preclude it is used. It was established on the basis of the sixth edition (2020) of that standard.

This standard also deals with pressurized appliances and appliances with pressurized parts.
These appliances are not intended for household and similar purposes. They are used for commercial processing of food in areas not open to the public, for example in kitchens of restaurants, canteens, hospitals and in commercial enterprises such as bakeries and butcheries.
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.
Attention is drawn to the fact that
- for appliances intended to be used in vehicles or on board ships or aircraft, additional requirements can 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.
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);
- appliances for continuous mass production of food;
- deep fat fryers (IEC 60335-2-37);
- battery-operated appliances.
This seventh edition cancels and replaces the sixth edition published in 2012 and Amendment 1:2017. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) the text has been aligned with IEC 60335-1:2020;
b) some notes have been converted to normative text or modified (Clause 1, 15.1, 15.102, 16.2, 19.101, 27.2);
c) exclusion of battery-operated appliances and appliances used in areas open to the public (Clause 1);
d) relocation of cleaning instructions from 7.12.1 to 7.12;
e) relocation of 24.101 to 22.115;
f) conciliation of the text of IEC 60335-2-39 with other standards under IEC/TC61/MT32;
g) clarifications and modifications to some test specifications have been made (9.101, 11.4, 15.1.1, 15.102, 20.1, 25.3).
This Part 2 is to be used in conjunction with the latest edition of IEC 60335-1 and its amendments unless that edition precludes it; in that case, the latest edition that does not preclude it is used. It was established on the basis of the sixth edition (2020) of that standard.
IEC 60335-2-39:2012 deals with the safety of electrically operated commercial multi-purpose cooking pans not intended for household and similar 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. This standard also deals with pressurized appliances and appliances with pressurized parts. These appliances are used for processing food for commercial consumption, for example in kitchens of restaurants, canteens, hospitals and in 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. 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. The principal changes in this edition as compared with the fifth edition of IEC 60335-2-39 are as follows (minor changes are not listed): - addition to definition of portable appliances, atmospheric multi-purpose cooking and rated pressure; - deletion of equipotential symbol 5021 of IEC 60417 covered by Part 1; - addition of instructions for multi-purpose cooking pans; - modification on leakage current permissible for portable class l appliances; - addition to abnormal test requirements; - addition to mechanical hazard test for multi-purpose cooking pans; - addition of construction test for multi-purpose cooking pans; - addition to construction requirements for lids and theirs grips; - addition to construction requirements for positioning of pressure reliefs; - addition to construction's fixed appliances which are moved forward and backward for cleaning purposes. The attention of National Committees is drawn to the fact that equipment manufacturers and testing organizations may need a transitional period following publication of a new, amended or revised IEC publication in which to make products in accordance with the new requirements and to equip themselves for conducting new or revised tests. It is the recommendation of the committee that the content of this publication be adopted for implementation nationally not earlier than 12 months or later than 36 months from the date of publication. Keywords: Multi-purpose cooking pans. This publication is to be read in conjunction with IEC 60335-1:2010.
