Scope:

This Standard deals with the safety of electric commercial kitchen machines 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 1 - Examples of kitchen machines are:
 

  • mixers
  • liquid or food blenders
  • kneaders
  • beaters
  • shredders
  • graters
  • mincers
  • slicers
  • peelers
  • tin openers
  • coffee grinders
  • machines used for washing food
  • portioning machines
  • pastry rollers
  • noodle strip cutters
  • food processors.


NOTE 2 - These appliances are used, for example, in kitchens such as in restaurants, canteen, hospitals and commercial enterprises such as bakeries, butchers, etc.

This Standard also applies to appliances which, in order to facilitate transport, are supplied in several parts (subassemblies) which, when assembled at the place of installation, form a constructional unit without the use of any additional parts.

The electrical part of appliances making use of other forms of energy is also within the scope of this standard.

So far as is practicable, this standard deals with the common hazards presented by these types of appliances.

NOTE 3 - 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
  • for appliances intended to be used in tropical countries, special 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


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, vapor or gas)
  • continuous process appliances for the mass production of food
  • independent conveying equipment, such as food distribution belts

Project need:

To maintain alignment with international requirements in the safety requirements for electrical equipment for kitchen use.
