Focusing on the safety standards for commercial electric toasters and grills, the IEC 60335-2-48:2021 standard. These devices are intended for use by professionals in commercial spaces like cafeterias, hospitals, bakeries, and butcher shops. They are not meant for use in a household. The standard applies to appliances with rated voltages up to 480 V for other appliances and 250 V for single-phase appliances.

The standard specifies specifications for several models of commercial grilling and toasting equipment, such as salamanders, rotisseries, and rotational or continuous grills. It strives to assure the safe functioning of these appliances by addressing common risks connected with them. Appliances made specifically for industrial use or those destined for places with unique characteristics, including corrosive or explosive atmospheres, are exempt from the standard's requirements.

The standard also emphasizes the possibility of extra requirements for appliances used in cars, on ships, in aircraft, outdoors, or in certain national regulatory contexts. The regulation also states that it excludes domestic portable cooking appliances, battery-operated appliances, and equipment used in continuous mass food production.

The standard's fifth edition, which was released in 2021, includes a number of technical updates and improvements in keeping with the most recent version of IEC 60335-1:2020. These adjustments include bringing the standard into line with the most recent version of the general safety standard, changing or removing some remarks, clarifying test criteria, and adding specifications for appliances used in public spaces. The standard, which is meant to be used in conjunction with the most recent edition of IEC 60335-1, contains comprehensive guidelines and standards to assure the safety of commercial electric grillers and toasters.
