SIST EN 60335-2-37:2003/A11:2012 is the Slovenian adoption of a CENELEC amendment to the household-appliance safety series. It covers the safety requirements for commercial electric deep fat fryers, including pressurized types, used in food-service and similar commercial settings. The document updates the product-specific safety clauses, instructions and construction checks for these appliances, especially where power driven moving parts are involved.
What does SIST EN 60335-2-37:2003/A11:2012 specify?
SIST EN 60335-2-37:2003/A11:2012 specifies safety requirements for electrically operated commercial deep fat fryers, not for household use. It applies to appliances rated up to the stated single-phase and other supply voltages and is written for restaurants, canteens, hospitals, bakeries, butcheries and similar commercial enterprises.
The amendment also adds a dedicated annex for appliances and machines with power driven moving parts intended for commercial use, and it ties the document to EU machinery safety coverage through Annex ZZ.
| Annex | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Annex ZE | Additional requirements for commercial appliances and machines with power driven moving parts |
| Annex ZZ | Coverage of essential requirements of EU Directive 2006/42/EC |
What are the key requirements of SIST EN 60335-2-37:2003/A11:2012?
SIST EN 60335-2-37:2003/A11:2012 focuses on worst-case test conditions, clear user information, safer construction and added commercial-use instructions. In practice, it asks manufacturers to design the fryer so it can be used, cleaned and maintained safely by the intended users and to describe those limits clearly.
Test conditions and operating state
Clause 5.5 requires the fryer to be tested with oil at the minimum indicated level, the thermal control at maximum setting, and lids open or removed unless the appliance is designed to work with the lid closed. Motors are operated under the most severe intended normal-use conditions. This matters because the safety assessment has to reflect how the fryer behaves when it is most heavily loaded.
Marking and instructions
Clause 7.12 adds a prominent instruction to read the instructions before use, and it allows that message to be shown by symbols. If symbols are used, their meaning has to be explained. The instructions also have to state the maximum weight of the empty appliance. For permanently connected appliances with possible leakage currents, the instructions must recommend suitable additional protective devices, such as residual-current device(s) (RCDs). That helps installers choose protection that matches the appliance and the installation.
Commercial-use information
Annex ZE expands the instruction content for appliances used by experts, trained users or declared commercial users. It calls for information on intended use, user maintenance, safe adjustment and maintenance, stability conditions, accident or breakdown procedures, personal protection equipment when hot food may splash, and warnings about slippery floors. It also requires a warning about disconnecting the appliance before cleaning, maintenance or part replacement. This is the practical user-facing safety content buyers and operators should expect.
Construction and guarding
Clause 22 and Annex ZE require safer movement and access features. Tilting containers and lifted fryer baskets need a mechanism that prevents accidental tilting or lifting, and motor-driven tilting must only work while the operator holds the control. Hinged lids must not close accidentally, and controls must be visible, easy to reach and protected against accidental operation where that could create a hazard. Handles on lids must reduce the risk of steam scalding. In practice, these requirements reduce burn, pinch and unintended-motion hazards.
Hygiene and ergonomics
Annex ZE states that appliances shall comply with hygiene requirements and ergonomic principles. Compliance is checked by inspection, with guidance pointed to EN ISO 14159, EN 614-1 and EN 614-2. For a buyer or quality manager, this means the fryer is not only a safety item but also expected to be designed for cleaning, handling and day-to-day use in a food environment.
What terms does SIST EN 60335-2-37:2003/A11:2012 define?
- installation wall - A fixed construction with supply facilities on one or both sides for wall-mounted appliances.
- EHSR - Essential Health and Safety Requirements of Directive 2006/42/EC, which Annex ZE uses as its compliance basis.
- RCD - Residual-current device, named as an additional protective device for some fixed appliances.
- A-weighted sound pressure level - The noise measure used in the instruction content for commercial-use appliances.
- CENELEC - The European electrotechnical standards body that approved the amendment.
- EN ISO 14159 - The hygiene standard referenced for checking machine design in food-related use.
- EN 614-1 and EN 614-2 - Ergonomics guidance documents referenced for design and work-task interaction.
Who uses SIST EN 60335-2-37:2003/A11:2012?
SIST EN 60335-2-37:2003/A11:2012 is used by manufacturers, designers, conformity assessment teams, test laboratories, importers and buyers of commercial deep fat fryers. It is also relevant to operators and service personnel in restaurants, canteens, hospitals, bakeries, butcheries and other commercial kitchens where expert or trained users handle the appliance.
What changed in SIST EN 60335-2-37:2003/A11:2012 from the previous edition?
SIST EN 60335-2-37:2003/A11:2012 amends EN 60335-2-37:2002 and supplements EN 60335-1:2012 and EN 60335-2-37:2002/A1:2008. The amendment:
- adds Annex ZE for appliances and machines with power driven moving parts used commercially,
- revises the scope exclusions,
- replaces the definition of installation wall,
- tightens test conditions in Clause 5,
- expands marking and instruction content in Clause 7,
- adds commercial-use instructions on misuse, hygiene, ergonomics and safe operation,
- adds construction checks for tilting parts, lids, controls and handles.
Which standards are used with SIST EN 60335-2-37:2003/A11:2012?

What does the SIST EN 60335-2-37:2003/A11:2012 document contain?
SIST EN 60335-2-37:2003/A11:2012 contains amended clauses on scope, definitions, test conditions, marking and instructions, plus detailed construction requirements. The practical content includes inspection-based checks, manual and functional tests, and specific instruction text for users and installers. Annex ZE adds verification points for commercial operation, while Annex ZZ links the standard to EU machinery safety coverage.
