IEC 60335-2-62:2019

Deals with the safety of electrically operated commercial rinsing sinks not intended for household use. The rated voltage being not more than 250 V for single-phase appliances connected between one phase and neutral, and 480 V for other appliances. Appliances within the scope of this standard are typically used 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.

IEC 60335-2-62:2024 deals with the safety of electrically operated commercial rinsing sinks used in commercial kitchens, 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. These appliances are not intended for household and similar purposes. They are used in areas not open to the public, for example in kitchens of restaurants, canteens, hospitals and 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; - for appliances intended to be used in tropical countries, special 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 primarily for sterilizing to clinical standards; - dishwashers (IEC 60335-2-58); - 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). This fifth edition cancels and replaces the fourth edition published in 2019. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a) alignment with IEC 60335-1:2020; b) deletion or conversion of some notes to normative text (Clause 1, 7.15, 11.7, 22.103, 27.2); c) clarification that commercial electric rinsing sinks are not intended to be used in areas open to the public (Clause 1); d) alignment of some requirements with the standards for commercial catering appliances (Clause 1, 5.101, 11.4, 11.7, 15.1.1, 22.101, 22.102, 22.103, 23.3, 25.3, 27.2). 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.
