Plinske naprave za gostinstvo - 1. del: Splošna varnostna pravila

EN 203-1 določa splošne zahteve, konstrukcijske značilnosti in značilnosti delovanja v povezavi z varnostjo, označevanje in povezane preskusne metode za plinske naprave za gostinstvo in peko. Posebne zahteve so obravnavane v 2. delu. Zahteve za materiale in dele v stiku s hrano ter drugi sanitarni vidiki so obravnavani v 3. delu. Ta evropski standard obravnava samo naprave tipa A1, A2, A3, B1 in B2 iz točke 4. Ta evropski standard velja za vse profesionalne naprave za gostinstvo in peko, ki za pripravo hrane in pijače uporabljajo plin. Uporabljata se samo neto kalorična vrednost (Hi) in Wobbejev indeks (Wi). Informativna Priloga C navaja glavne vrste naprav, za katere se začne uporabljati ta evropski standard. Ta evropski standard ne obravnava racionalne rabe energije. Ta vidik je omenjen v točki 6.10 le za zagotavljanje skladnosti s povezanim 2. delom (oštevilčenje točk) in kot opomnik, da je treba upoštevati racionalno rabo energije, če za določen izdelek ne obstaja 2. del.
