Overview
EN 203-1:2005/prA1 (CEN) is a draft amendment to the European standard for gas heated catering equipment - Part 1: General safety rules, with a specific scope covering appliances that include gas cylinder compartments. The amendment adds and modifies requirements relating to construction, operating temperatures, test methods and installation/marking for appliances supplied from portable LPG cylinders.
Key topics and requirements
Cylinder compartment construction
- Limits compartment to a single cylinder up to 20 kg and appliances with a total nominal heat input ≤ 12 kW.
- Openings sized to allow easy insertion/removal of the largest manufacturer-specified cylinder (with regulator).
- Ventilation openings: upper openings ≥ 1/100 of compartment floor area; lower openings ≥ 1/50.
- Cylinder support must resist permanent deformation; resting cylinder directly on appliance base is not allowed.
- Tubing/hose minimum length and accessibility: manufacturer must show the length required; not less than 400 mm.
- No internal conduits between compartment and burner areas; ventilation openings must not be easily blocked.
Temperature and pressure limits
- Compartment wall temperature rise above ambient must not exceed 30 K at points likely to contact hose or cylinder.
- Cylinder vapor pressure increase is limited (tabled values for butane and propane); these maxima correspond to a 5 K temperature rise from ambient (values specified per ambient temperature).
Test method (Clause 7.9)
- Simulates overheating by operating burners and, where applicable, electric elements/grills under reference gas conditions.
- Uses the largest recommended cylinder (filled to the standard’s specified volumetric fraction) placed inside the compartment for monitoring.
- Measures compartment wall and connector temperatures and internal cylinder pressure after 1 hour of operation and during the first 30 minutes after shut-down.
Marking and installation (Clause 9.5)
- Installation instructions must specify ventilation procedures to ensure fresh air and prevent gas accumulation.
- Guidance that supplied tubing/hose comply with national regulations and be periodically inspected/replaced.
Applications and users
- Appliance manufacturers and product designers for professional kitchens (cooking ranges, ovens, worktops).
- Test laboratories and certification bodies performing type testing and safety validation.
- Installers, maintenance technicians and safety engineers responsible for correct installation and periodic inspection.
- Regulators and procurement teams specifying safety compliance for catering equipment.
Related standards
- EN 88 (pressure regulators and safety devices)
- EN 161 (shut-off valves)
- EN 60204-1 / IEC 60204-1 (electrical equipment of machines)
- CEN/TR 1749
