BS EN 60335-2-99:2003 PDF Download

The purpose of the BS EN 60335-2-99:2003 standard is to guarantee the security of electrical equipment used in commercial settings, particularly electric hoods that are mounted over commercial cooking equipment. Although not designed for home use, these hoods are frequently found in hospitals, canteens, restaurants, and other business buildings like bakeries and butcher shops.

The standard applies to hoods with a rated voltage of up to 480 V for other hoods and up to 250 V for single-phase hoods connected between one phase and neutral. It is applicable to both single complete units and hoods delivered as individual sections that can be put together to create a full-functioning hood with a fan.

The primary goal of the standard is to guarantee the safety of these commercial electric hoods while taking into account elements like electrical security, mechanical toughness, fire resistance, and safeguards against overheating or other potential risks. This standard's adherence aids in reducing the possibility of mishaps or malfunctions that can result in injuries or property damage in business settings.
