If the fryer is used by laymen, IEC 60335-2-13 is likely the correct
standard. Its scope includes the following text.
"Appliances intended for normal household and similar use and that may
also be used by laymen in shops, in light industry and on farms are
within the scope of this standard. However, if the appliance is
intended to be used professionally to process food for commercial
consumption, the appliance is not considered to be for household and
similar use only."
This would appear to cover deep-fat fryers used in restaurants and
shops, but not food processing plants.
Yes, BUT, as I said, SC61E hasn't got round to making a special standard
for commercial fryers. So the 'standards route' to complying with the
LVD in Europe is to use 60335-2-13 and include in the safety assessment
document the reasons why that standard is applicable to your particular
product. That can, if necessary, be supplemented by an opinion from a
Notified Body.
A product that's safe in a home or restaurant doesn't automatically
become unsafe if it's moved into a plant.
