Overview

CEN/TS 12983-3:2007 is the European Technical Specification for domestic cookware intended for use on induction heating sources (stoves, cookers, hobs). It sets safety and performance requirements that apply to cookware of any material or manufacturing method and covers items intended for use both on the hob and in the oven. The document is complementary to EN 12983‑1 and CEN/TS 12983‑2 and focuses specifically on induction compatibility, durability and user safety.

Key topics and requirements

  • Scope: Applicable to all domestic cookware used on induction heat sources, regardless of material or manufacture.
  • Suitability testing (Annex A): Procedure to assess cookware power absorption compared with a steel reference pan; specifies induction hob coil current settings and test conditions (coil currents for typical base diameters, 20–80 kHz operating range).
  • Base stability (Annex B): Thermal-shock cycling to 250 °C with water quench cycles; the pan base must not become convex and concavity measurements are checked until stability.
  • Water uptake (Annex C): For sandwich or encapsulated bases, water uptake limits are defined - maximum 1 g at a base diameter of 180 mm (scaled for other diameters).
  • Internal non-stick coating safety (Annex D): When heated empty on full power, measured hot-spot surface temperatures must not exceed 320 °C at specified time intervals (60 s, 120 s, 240 s).
  • Design constraints:
    • External organic coatings must not be applied to the exterior base.
    • Cookware design must not interfere with hob safety/pan-detection systems.
    • The manufacturer must declare the active base diameter.
  • Consumer instructions: Warnings about dry heating, rapid induction pre‑heating, ventilation after coating disintegration, correct pan placement and possible electromagnetic noise.

Practical applications and users

Who uses CEN/TS 12983‑3:

  • Cookware manufacturers designing induction-capable pans (material choice, sandwich/encapsulated bases, base geometry).
  • Product design and R&D teams validating heat distribution, base flatness and induction responsiveness.
  • Test laboratories and QA teams performing standardized induction compatibility and safety tests.
  • Retailers and compliance officers verifying product claims for “induction ready/compatible”.
  • Standards bodies and certification agencies assessing conformity with European technical requirements.

Practical uses:

  • Verifying induction hob performance and pan detection interaction.
  • Setting manufacturing tolerances (base concavity, water ingress limits).
  • Establishing consumer care/use instructions and safety labels for induction cookware.
