A safety standard that addresses the specifications for industrial electric deep fat fryers is BS EN 60335-2-37:2002+A12:2016. This standard pertains to deep-fat fryers that are electrically powered and used in commercial establishments such as cafeterias, hospitals, bakeries, and butcher shops. The rated voltage for the appliances covered by this standard is up to 480 volts for other appliances and 250 volts for single-phase appliances connected between one phase and neutral.

The standard specifies extra requirements in Annex ZE for appliances with power-driven moving parts. It's crucial to remember that this requirement also applies to the electrical components of appliances that use other sources of power.

The standard aims to protect deep-fat fryers from typical risks and maintain their security. However, it acknowledges that pressure appliances as well as those intended for use in automobiles, ships, or airplanes may require additional standards. Each country may also have its own unique additional needs for national health authorities, labor protection authorities, water supply authorities, and similar authorities.

It should be noted that machines made specifically for industrial usage or those intended for use in corrosive or explosive environments are exempt from this specification. Additionally, it excludes equipment used to treat cosmetics, chemicals, and pharmaceutical items, as well as pressure cookers that produce pressures greater than 50 kPa, induction-ready fryers, and continuous-process machines for mass food preparation.
