General Information

Overview
EN 15181:2017/FprA1 is a CEN draft amendment to the European standard that defines a measuring method of the energy consumption of gas-fired ovens. Prepared by CEN/TC 49 (Gas cooking appliances), the amendment clarifies test conditions, extends gas group coverage to include third family gases and updates normative references and calculation provisions. This document is distributed for review in the Unique Acceptance Procedure and, if approved, will modify EN 15181:2017.
Key Topics
- Scope changes: The amendment explicitly adds "third family gases" to the list of applicable fuel types and revises the scope text accordingly.
- Normative references: EN 437:2018 (test gases and pressures) is added, and the thermocouple reference is updated to EN 60584-1:2013.
- Test gases and pressures: Tests for Category I appliances intended for third family gases (Gas Groups 3+, 3B, 3B/P and 3P) are required to use the corresponding reference gases and nominal pressures as defined in EN 437:2018.
- Energy consumption clause: For Category I appliances using only third family gases, testing is carried out with reference gases G30 or G31 with a specified composition (at least 99,5 % of butane for G30, respectively propane for G31) as set out in the amendment.
- Measurement details: Minor editorial updates include wording changes (e.g., calculated volume rounding) and replacement of Annex C calculation sheets with an enclosed Excel file to standardize data capture.
Applications
This amendment and the underlying standard are directly applicable to:
- Manufacturers developing and certifying gas-fired ovens who need to measure and report energy consumption for design validation and market compliance.
- Test laboratories performing standardized energy consumption and efficiency testing using prescribed test gases, pressures and calculation methods.
- Regulatory bodies and compliance teams that require harmonized test procedures for verification, labeling, or energy performance assessment.
- Product designers and R&D teams seeking repeatable test methods to compare designs across different fuel types, including third family gases.
Benefits include consistent, repeatable measurement procedures, clarity on gas-type testing (including third family gases), and harmonized calculation templates to support reliable efficiency reporting.
Related Standards
- EN 15181:2017 (base standard for measuring energy consumption of gas ovens)
- EN 437:2018 (Test gases - Test pressures - Appliance categories) - newly referenced
- EN 60584-1:2013 (Thermocouples - EMF specifications and tolerances) - replaces earlier thermocouple reference
For implementation, stakeholders should review the draft amendment text, the referenced EN 437 provisions for gas/pressure combinations, and adopt the supplied Annex C Excel calculation sheet for consistent reporting.
