Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety - Particular requirements for commercial electric conveyor dishwashing machines

This clause of Part 1 is replaced with the following. This document deals with the safety of electrically operated commercial conveyor dishwashing machines for washing dishes, glassware, cutlery and similar reusable articles, with or without means for water heating or drying, not intended for household and similar purposes, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V for single-phase appliances connected between one phase and neutral and 480 V for other appliances. These conveyor dishwashing machines are designed to be connected to hot and/or cold water supply. Dishwashing machines making use of steam or hot water for heating purposes are also within the scope of this document. These appliances are used by experts or instructed persons for commercial dishwashing in areas not open to the public, for example in kitchens of restaurants, canteens, hospitals, and in commercial enterprises such as bakeries and butcheries. NOTE 101 Examples of such appliances are: — flight conveyor dishwashing machine; — rack conveyor dishwashing machine. Requirements to avoid backsiphonage of non-potable water into the water mains are specified in Annex BB. This document deals with specific requirements on noise emitted from these appliances because the generated noise can be LpA > 70 dB(A) and is considered to be a relevant hazard. See Clause 7.12.104, 22.115 and Annex CC. The electrical part of appliances making use of other forms of energy is also within the scope of this document. This document deals with the reasonably foreseeable hazards presented by appliances that are encountered by all persons in and around the installation place or workplace. 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 can be necessary; — in many countries, additional requirements are specified by the national health authorities, the national authorities responsible for the protection of labour, the national water supply authorities and similar authorities; — in many countries, additional requirements are specified for appliances incorporating pressurized parts; — for scrapping of appliances, additional requirements can be necessary. This document does not apply to: — commercial electric dishwashing machines under EN IEC 60335 2 58; — appliances designed exclusively for industrial purposes, for example machines used in the food industry for cleaning receptacles that serve as packaging for final products (e.g. bottle-cleaning machines) and machines used in manufacturing processes; — gas heated appliances which are part of the conveyor dishwashing machines; — movable appliances; — dishwashing machines that do not form one functional unit, for example where a transportation device transfers the load from one separate unit to another; — separately driven transport devices not confined in the appliance; — 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); — sterilizers and washer-disinfectors used to treat medical materials (EN IEC 61010 2 040). With this European revision 2.0 of the document, the EN 50416:2005 is superseded. This European revision 2.0 of the document, supplements or modifies the corresponding clauses of the standards below: — EN IEC 60335 1:2023+A11:2023+prA12:2026. Secretary’s note: The above addition has been moved from the Introduction (informative text) to the Scope (normative text) of the standard following discussions with the HAS consultants. According to an EC decision (document GROW.H.3/SM/MH/DT 12/1/2024), Part 1 must be referenced by date in Part 2. Consequently, the standard has been included in Clause 2, “Normative references”.

Packaging - Test method to determine the porosity of the internal coating of flexible aluminium tubes - Part 1: Sodium chloride test

This document is applicable for internally coated cylindrical and conical aluminium tubes, mainly used for the packing of pharmaceutical, cosmetic, hygiene, food or other household products. The internal coating is used as a barrier to avoid any contact between aluminium and the product. This document defines the sodium chloride method to detect the electrolyte conductivity as one criterion for the quality of the internal coating. NOTE The electrolyte conductivity of the internal coating is only one criterion for evaluation of the quality of an internal coating. It does not give any information on the quantity or size of any pores or uncoated areas, nor any hint on possible reactions between the aluminium tube and the product. The electrolyte conductivity can never be used as the sole criterion for quality evaluation of the internal coating, but always with other parameters e.g. film thickness, acetone and/or ammonia resistance and of course results of enhanced stability studies.

Advanced technical ceramics - Thermomechanical properties of monolithic ceramics - Part 5: Determination of elastic moduli at elevated temperatures

This part of EN 820 describes methods for determining the elastic moduli, specifically Young's modulus, shear modulus and Poisson's ratio, of advanced monolithic technical ceramics at temperatures above room temperature. The standard prescribes three alternative methods for determining some or all of these three parameters: A the determination of Young's modulus by static flexure of a thin beam in three- or four-point bending. B the determination of Young's modulus by forced longitudinal resonance, or Young's modulus, shear modulus and Poisson's ratio by forced flexural and torsional resonance, of a thin beam. C the determination of Young's modulus from the fundamental natural frequency of a struck bar (impulse excitation method). This part of EN 820 extends the above-defined room-temperature methods described in EN 843-2 to elevated temperatures. All the test methods assume the use of homogeneous test pieces of linear elastic materials. The test assumes that the test piece has isotropic elastic properties. At high porosity levels all of the methods can become inappropriate. The maximum grain size (see EN 623-3), excluding deliberately added whiskers, should be less than 10 % of the minimum dimension of the test piece. NOTE 1 Method C in EN 843-2 based on ultrasonic time of flight measurement has not been incorporated into this part of EN 820. Although the method is feasible to apply, it is specialised, and outside the capabilities of most laboratories. There are also severe restrictions on test piece geometries and methods of achieving pulse transmission. For these reasons this method has not been included in EN 820-5. NOTE 2 The upper temperature limit for this test depends on the properties of the test pieces, and can be limited by softening within the timescale of the test. In addition, for method A there can be limits defined by the choice of test jig construction materials.

Inorganic fertilizers - Determination of pH of a solution of ammonium nitrate fertilizers of high nitrogen content

This document specifies a method for the determination of pH of a solution of ammonium nitrate fertilizer of high nitrogen content. This document is applicable to the fertilizing products blends where a blend is a mix of at least two of the following components: fertilizers, liming materials, soil improvers, growing media, inhibitors, plant biostimulants, and where the following category: inorganic fertilizers is the highest % in the blend by mass or volume, or in the case of liquid form by dry mass. If inorganic fertilizer is not the highest % in the blend, the European Standard for the highest % of the blend applies. In case a fertilizing product blend is composed of components in equal quantity, the user decides which standard to apply. Variations in analytical methods for fertilizing product blends can lead to differing results as some components or matrix interactions can affect the outcome. Validation procedures have shown that developed standard methods are robust and reliable across diverse product compositions, but possible interferences and unexpected results when analysing fertilizing product blends are possible.

Plastics - Determination of flexural properties (ISO/DIS 178:2026)

This document specifies a method for determining the flexural properties of rigid and semi-rigid plastics under defined conditions. A preferred test specimen is defined, but parameters are included for alternative specimen sizes for use where appropriate. A range of test speeds is included. The method is used to investigate the flexural behaviour of the test specimens and to determine the flexural strength, flexural modulus and other aspects of the flexural stress/strain relationship under the conditions defined. It applies to a freely supported beam, loaded at midspan (three-point loading test). The method is suitable for use with the following range of materials: — thermoplastic moulding, extrusion and casting materials, including filled and reinforced compounds in addition to unfilled types; rigid thermoplastics sheets; — thermosetting moulding materials, including filled and reinforced compounds; thermosetting sheets. In agreement with ISO 10350-1[5] and ISO 10350-2,[6] this document applies to fibre-reinforced compounds with fibre lengths ≤7,5 mm prior to processing. For long-fibre-reinforced materials (laminates) with fibre lengths >7,5 mm, see ISO 14125[7]. The method is not normally suitable for use with rigid cellular materials or sandwich structures containing cellular material. In such cases, ISO 1209-1[3] and/or ISO 1209-2[4] can be used. NOTE 1 For certain types of textile-fibre-reinforced plastic, a four-point bending test is used. This is described in ISO 14125. The method is performed using specimens which can be either moulded to the specified dimensions, machined from the central section of a standard multipurpose test specimen (see ISO 20753) or machined from finished or semi-finished products, such as mouldings, laminates, or extruded or cast sheet. The method specifies the preferred dimensions for the test specimen. Tests which are carried out on specimens of different dimensions, or on specimens which are prepared under different conditions, can produce results which are not comparable. Other factors, such as the test speed and the conditioning of the specimens, can also influence the results. NOTE 2 Especially for injection moulded semi-crystalline polymers, the thickness of the oriented skin layer, which is dependent on the moulding conditions, also affects the flexural properties. The method is not suitable for the determination of design parameters but can be used in materials testing and as a quality control test.
