1 Scope
This document is applicable to single use barbecues which burn solid fuels.
This document specifies requirements for materials, construction, design and test methods to ensure safe
use and satisfactory performance.
This document is intended to reduce the risks which may occur during and through barbecuing with solid
fuels.
This document deals with the reasonably foreseeable hazards presented by single use barbecues when
used by adults. Very vulnerable people can have needs that go beyond the level of safety addressed in this
document.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
ISO and IEC maintain terminology databases for use in standardization at the following addresses:

3.1
barbecue
appliance designed for cooking in the open air by means of radiant and possible convection heat and
consisting at least of a fuel compartment and a cooking grid or a rotating spit
3.2
single use barbecue
barbecue designed in such a way that it cannot be used more than once and having been used once is no
longer suitable for use and shall be disposed of safely
3.3
fuel compartment
part of the barbecue where the fuel is burnt
3.4
grate
perforated part of the barbecue on which the fuel is placed
3.5
ash compartment
ash catcher
parts of the barbecue intended to catch any ash or embers which may fall from the fuel compartment or
grate
3.6
usable area
any area of a barbecue component and accessories intended to come into contact with the food to be
barbecued during cooking is regarded as being usable
3.7
stand
support structure of a barbecue onto which the functional parts of the barbecue are located
3.8
cooking grid
part of the barbecue on which the food to be cooked is placed
3.9
silk paper
2 2
thin, soft, relatively hard to tear paper with a mass between 12 g/m and 25 g/m usually used to wrap
delicate objects
Note 1 to entry: In this document, the silk paper is used for thermal testing.
4 Requirements
4.1 General requirements
Coatings shall withstand the test as described in 5.2.
NOTE Relevant legislation on surfaces of, and coatings on parts of the barbecue coming into contact with the
food to be barbecued, cooking grid, spit, meat forks and gravy trays, can be found for example in Regulation (EC)
No 1935/2004.
When operating and manipulating the single use barbecue, accessible edges and corners shall be free
from burr. Rough surfaces, sharp edges and corners which may cause injury are not allowed.
All accessible parts of the barbecue components made of sheet or tube of thickness less than 0,7 mm
without coating shall be as shown in Figures 1, 2, 3 and 4:

Figure 1 — Fully edged
Figure 2 — Folded and flattened
Figure 3 — Rolled and closed
Dimensions in millimetres
Figure 4 — Rolled and half closed
After testing in accordance with 5.2 to 5.5 a single use barbecue fails if:
a) any dimension of any component distorts more than 5 %;
b) any component cracks and/or fractures appear;
c) any component falls off;
d) the temperature of the base on which the barbecue is placed has exceeded 70 °C during the test.
The single use barbecue shall consist of at least a fuel compartment, grid, stand, solid fuel and firelighter.
It shall be designed for one use only and safe disposal.
The fuel shall be in accordance with EN 1860-2. For the granulometry test of EN 1860-2, the test sample
may only have a mass of 10 kg.
The firelighter shall be in accordance with EN 1860-3.
To avoid any additional use of the single barbecue the grid shall not be removable without making the
single use of the barbecue unusable. The grid shall be fixed to the fuel compartment in such a way that its
removal can only be done by deliberate action of the operator making the single use barbecue unusable.
To avoid fire after use or after disposal, the packaging of the single use barbecue shall be incombustible.
In case that the packaging is combustible, other means to extinguish the single use barbecue after use
shall be provided together with the single use barbecue.
Single use barbecues shall withstand the thermal test in 5.2 and the dynamic test in 5.5.
4.2 Requirements for parts
4.2.1 Cooking grid
The clear distance between the bars of the cooking grid shall not exceed 20 mm before, during and after
testing according to 5.2 and 5.5. This requirement relates to the usable area of the grid, which shall be at
least 80 % of the horizontal area of the fuel compartment, vertically projected.
If the cooking grid has the function of a grate, the clear distance between the bars of the grate and between
the grate and the edges of the fuel
