Overview
EN 1116:2018 - Furniture - Kitchen furniture - Coordinating sizes for kitchen furniture and kitchen appliances (CEN) defines coordinated dimensional rules to ensure domestic kitchen furniture and appliances (built-in and built-under) fit together correctly. The standard covers heights, widths, depths and installation/recess spaces for worktops, kitchen units, decorative panels, sinks and white goods. It applies to domestic kitchens only (not commercial kitchens such as hotels or restaurants).
Key topics and technical requirements
EN 1116:2018 sets out measurable coordination rules between furniture and appliances to support consistent design, manufacturing and installation:
Worktops
- Recommended worktop depth: at least 600 mm to accommodate standard appliance depths.
- Maximum front overhang: 30 mm.
- Vertical clearance rules for wall-hung units and extractors are specified (see standard for exact values and manufacturer‑specific distances).
Recesses and installation heights
- Recess height for built-under appliances: min. 820 mm, 870 mm, 920 mm or adjustable options are provided.
- Vertical distance between worktop and wall-hanging unit: at least 450 mm.
- Plinth height: recommended at least 80 mm.
Unit depths
- Minimum unit depth under a 600 mm worktop: 550 mm.
- Minimum wall-hung unit depth above worktop: 310 mm.
- Maximum total depth for wall-hung units above a worktop: 400 mm.
- Built-under appliances require total cabinet depth ≤ worktop depth.
Widths and clearances
- Nominal widths and tolerances for built-in and built-under appliances and associated recesses/fronts are tabulated in the standard (with guidance on fitting clearances and fittings).
- Furniture dimensions are specified with plus deviations only; appliance external dimensions are specified with minus deviations only relative to nominal values.
Installation guidance
- The standard references manufacturer installation instructions for cut-outs, safety clearances and installation elements (e.g., sinks, hobs).
Applications and users
EN 1116:2018 is essential for:
- Kitchen furniture designers and manufacturers
- Appliance (white goods and ovens) manufacturers and testers
- Kitchen installers and fitters
- Architects, interior designers and specifiers
- Retailers and quality assurance teams aiming for interchangeability and ergonomic compliance in domestic kitchens
Using EN 1116:2018 helps reduce installation errors, improve compatibility between kitchen units and appliances, and streamline production and procurement.
