GB/T 4706.51-2024 Safety of household and similar electrical appliances - Part 51 : Particular requirements for commercial electric appliances for keeping food and crockery warm 1 Scope This clause of GB/T 4706.1-2024 is replaced by the following: This standard specifies the safety of electrically operated commercial hot cupboards appliances for keeping food and crockery warm not intended for household and similar use. This standard is applicable to electrically operated commercial hot cupboards appliances for keeping food and crockery warm whose rated voltage being not more than 250 V for single-phase appliances connected between one phase and neutral, and 480 V for other appliances. Examples of appliances that are within the scope of this standard are: – hot cupboards, with or without heated tops; – heated tops; – heated display cases; – heated crockery dispensers; – heated tables; – radiant heaters. Note 101: These appliances are used for processing food, for example in kitchens of restaurants, canteens, hospitals and similar 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. Note 102: 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; − in many countries additional requirements may be specified by the management health authorities; − for appliances intended to be used outdoors, additional requirements may be necessary. Note 103: 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 process appliances for the mass production of food; − bains-marie (IEC 60335-2-50). 2 Normative references This clause of GB/T 4706.1-2024 is applicable except as follows.

If the appliance cannot be operated empty, then the manufacturer's instructions are taken into account. Doors, covers or lids, if any, are placed in their intended positions. Motors incorporated in the appliance are operated in the intended manner under the most severe conditions that can be expected in normal use taking into account the manufacturer's instructions. Appliances incorporating induction heating sources are operated with the induction crockery placed on induction trays. All tray supports are loaded, but partial up to full load shall be possible. All controls are set to maximum, and the induction crockery is half-filled with initially cold water. Covers (cloches) are in their position. The appliances consist of several units, which can form up to three separated modules; they are connected together during operation. These units are the heating module with the induction heating source, the rack with the coil carriers and the enclosure with the supports for the induction trays including the induction crockery. 3.101 hot cupboard an appliance that is used for maintaining the temperature of hot food and for the warming of crockery 3.102 heated top the top surface of a hot cupboard, that is designed to maintain the required temperature.
