Standard obravnava varnost električno upravljanih komercialnih pečic s prisilnim kroženjem zraka, parnih kuhalnikov, pečic s kroženjem pare in generatorjev pare (ki so namenjeni izključno tej uporabi), ki niso namenjeni gospodinjski uporabi. Nazivna napetost mora biti manjša od 250 V za enofazne aparate, priključene med fazo in nevtralni vodnik, in 480 V za ostale aparate. Aparati, ki spadajo v področje uporabe tega standarda, se običajno uporabljajo v restavracijah, menzah, bolnišnicah in komercialnih podjetjih, kot so pekarne, mesnice itd. Tudi električni del aparatov, ki uporabljajo druge vire energije, spada v področje uporabe tega standarda.

Overview
SIST EN 60335-2-42:2003/A11:2012 is a Slovenian adoption of the European standard EN 60335-2-42:2003/A11:2012. This standard addresses the safety requirements for electrically operated commercial forced convection ovens, steam cookers, and steam-convection ovens. Developed by the Slovenski inštitut za standardizacijo (SIST), it is applicable to appliances not intended for household use, but rather for professional and commercial settings such as restaurants, canteens, bakeries, butcheries, and hospitals. The standard also covers the safety of electrical parts in appliances that utilize other forms of energy.
Compliance with SIST EN 60335-2-42:2003/A11:2012 assists manufacturers and users in meeting the essential health and safety requirements set by EU directives, notably the Low Voltage Directive (2006/95/EC) and the Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC).
Key Topics
Scope and Application
- Appliances covered include forced convection ovens, steam cookers, steam-convection ovens, and related steam generators for commercial use.
- The standard is limited to products with rated voltages not exceeding 250 V for single-phase and 480 V for other appliances.
- Excludes industrial machines, equipment for explosive or corrosive atmospheres, continuous process mass production machines, and microwave ovens.
Safety Requirements
- Addresses protection against electric shock, mechanical hazards from moving parts, protection against excessive temperatures, and water supply connections for appliances capable of producing steam.
- Emphasizes user safety during setup, operation, and maintenance, explicitly recommending the use of residual-current devices (RCDs) where leakage currents may be significant.
Marking and Instructions
- Requirements for clear operating instructions, intended use, maintenance guidance, and safety warnings.
- Markings must explain any symbols used, indicate the appliance's maximum empty weight, and provide ergonomic and hygiene considerations per EN ISO 14159.
- Warnings regarding potential user misuse and guiding safe cleaning and maintenance practices.
Performance Testing
- Specifies operating modes for dry heat, steaming, and combined convection-steam functions to ensure safe and reliable operation under typical and adverse conditions.
- Details relevant test parameters, such as operating temperatures and pressure handling for water supply.
Applications
This standard is crucial for manufacturers, importers, commercial kitchen operators, and maintenance personnel involved with commercial electric ovens and steam cooking equipment. Its implementation ensures:
- Compliance with EU health and safety directives for placing appliances on the market and in-service within the European Economic Area.
- Enhanced user and operator safety, minimizing the risk of electric shocks, burns, and injuries associated with commercial food processing equipment.
- Hygiene and ergonomic considerations in the design and installation of commercial kitchen appliances, aiding in effective cleaning, maintenance, and user comfort.
- Assured performance and reliability of commercial ovens and steam cookers, reducing the likelihood of downtime and equipment failure in demanding food service environments.
Typical environments where this standard applies include:
- Restaurants and hotel kitchens
- Institutional food service (canteens, hospitals, schools)
- Commercial bakeries and butcheries
- Catering businesses
Related Standards
For comprehensive guidance and compliance, the following standards are also relevant:
- EN 60335-1:2012 - General requirements for the safety of household and similar electrical appliances.
- EN ISO 14159:2008 - Safety of machinery - Hygiene requirements for the design of machinery.
- EN 614-1 and EN 614-2 - Safety of machinery - Ergonomic design principles.

5 General conditions for the tests
5.5 Addition:
• Dry heat mode
The appliance is operated with all the shelves or the shelf trolley in position according to the manufacturer's
instructions but with no load. The controls are set so that the mean value of the temperature over the
thermostat cycle at the geometric centre of each usable space in the interior of the oven is maintained at
220 °C ± 4 °C. Stepped controls are set so that this temperature is 220 °C ± 15 °C.
For ovens that are unable to attain a temperature of 220 °C, the controls are set at the maximum.
For ovens that are capable of attaining temperatures in excess of 270 °C, the controls are set so that the
mean value of the temperature is 50 °C ± 4 °C below the maximum temperature attainable.
• Steaming only mode
The appliance is operated in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions with all controls intended to be
operated by the user adjusted to their maximum setting until reaching operating temperature. They are then
readjusted, if possible, to the lowest setting that maintains that temperature.
Appliances with steam generators intended to be filled by hand or by a manually operated tap are filled to
the indicated level on the steam generator.
Appliances with steam generators intended to be filled automatically are connected to a water supply
having the pressure designated by the manufacturer. Where the manufacturer specifies a range of
pressures, the pressure is adjusted to give the most unfavourable conditions.
The incoming water is maintained at
– 15 °C ± 5 °C in the case of appliances intended for connection to a cold water supply,
– 60 °C ± 5 °C or the temperature indicated in the instruction sheet, whichever is the higher, in the case of
appliances intended for connection to a hot water supply only.
