Household electric cooking appliances - Part 2: Hobs - Methods for measuring performance

SIST EN IEC 60350-2:2025

IEC 60350-2:2025 defines methods for measuring the performance of electric hobs for household use. Appliances covered by this document can be built-in or designed to be placed on a work surface. The hob can be part of a cooking range and it can have an integrated cooking fume extractor, i.e. a hob with down-draft system . This document defines the main performance characteristics of hobs which are of interest to the user and specifies methods for measuring these characteristics. This document does not specify a classification or ranking for performance. Some of the tests which are specified in this document are not considered to be reproducible since the results can vary between laboratories. They are therefore intended for comparative testing purposes only. This document does not deal with safety requirements (IEC 60335-2-6 and IEC 60335-2-9). This document is also applicable for portable appliances with similar functionality. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2017 and Amendment 1:2021. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a) new definitions for portable hob, hob with down-draft system and low power modes are amended in Clause 3; b) revision of Clause 5: Tolerance for water amount added, requirements for dimension measurement added; c) removal of 6.4 Level of solid hotplates; d) revision of Clause 7 in order to improve the application of the smoothing average; e) revision of Table 1 and Table 3 in order to amend missing tolerances: f) Ry replaced by L* in Clause 9 and reference to IEC TS 63350; g) requirements for digital assessment in 9.1.6 removed as they are covered in IEC TS 63350; h) revision of Clause 12 Power measurement of low power modes; i) removal of Clause 13 Spillage capacity of hobs; j) Annex G Low-power mode measurements added; k) removal of Annex D 'Shade chart' as the shade charts are specified in IEC TS 63350; l) removal of Annex E 'Data and calculation sheet' as the calculation sheet is substituted by a supporting document located on the IEC web site; m) update of former Annex F 'Addresses of suppliers' by removal of former Clause F.6, F.7 and F.8 and by adding a further possible supplier in new D.4

Measurement method for assessing the compatibility of induction hob and cookware

SIST EN 50723:2023

This document describes a method which determines the electrical parameters for compatibility of cookware and induction hobs for household use. Cookware is an integral part of the cooking system; electrical parameters can affect the cooking process regarding the required power setting, speed of heating up, sufficient power for different cooking processes etc. For determining the compatibility of a cookware to an induction cooking zone and cooking area, a measurement device and a measurement procedure is specified in this document. It allows measuring the resistivity and/or impedance of the cookware under test (CUT) in a repeatable and reproducible way. The measured electric properties indicate the compatibility characteristics of a cookware on an induction cooking zones and cooking area. For determination the compatibility of an induction cooking zone or cooking area with a cookware, this document describes the measurement how to determine the power generated by the cooking zone under test (ZUT) in combination with the selected cookware. NOTE 1 For definitions of induction hob, induction cooking zone and cooking area EN 60350-2 is relevant. Further performance characteristics of hobs which are of interest to the user, like energy consumption, heating up time or heat distribution are not addressed. This document does not deal with safety requirements. NOTE 2 Further performance characteristics for hobs are covered in EN 60350-2. NOTE 3 Further performance characteristics for cookware are covered in EN 12983-1 and EN 12983-2. NOTE 4 Safety requirements are covered in IEC 60335-2-6 and IEC 60335-2-9. Appliances covered by this document can be built-in or portable induction hobs. The hob can also be a part of a cooking range.

Household electric cooking appliances - Part 1: Ranges, ovens, steam ovens and grills - Methods for measuring performance

SIST EN IEC 60350-1:2023

IEC 60350-1:2023 is available as IEC 60350-1:2023 RLV which contains the International Standard and its Redline version, showing all changes of the technical content compared to the previous edition.IEC 60350-1:2023 specifies methods for measuring the performance of electric cooking ranges, ovens, steam ovens, and grills for household use. This document is also applicable to portable appliances with similar functionalities that were previously covered by the withdrawn IEC 61817. The ovens covered by this document can be with or without microwave function. Manufacturers are expected to define the primary cooking function of the appliance – microwave function or thermal heat. The primary cooking function is measured with an existing method according to energy consumption. If the primary cooking function is declared in the instruction manual as a microwave function, IEC 60705 is applied for energy consumption measurement. If the primary cooking function is declared as a thermal heat, then IEC 60350-1 is applied for energy consumption measurement. If the primary function is not declared by the manufacturer, the performance of the microwave function and thermal heat is measured as far as it is possible. For measurement of energy consumption and time for heating a load (see Clause 8), this document is furthermore not applicable to: - microwave combination function; - ovens with reciprocating trays or turntable; - small cavity ovens (see 3.16); - ovens without adjustable temperature control; - heating functions and eco functions other than defined in this document; - appliances with only solo steam function. This document does not apply to microwave ovens (IEC 60705). This document defines the main performance characteristics of these appliances that are of interest to the user and specifies methods for measuring these characteristics. This document does not specify a classification or ranking for performance. This document does not deal with safety requirements (IEC 60335-2-6 and IEC 60335-2-9). Appliances covered by this document can be built-in or for placing on a working surface or the floor. There is no measurement method for the energy consumption for grilling and steam functions available. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2016 and Interpretation Sheet 1:2021. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a) new definitions for heating function, eco function and definitions relevant for low power mode considerations are amended in Clause 3; b) order of clauses is changed; c) revision of 5.3; d) update of 6.2 in order to improve the reliability of volume measurement; e) removal of 6.7, Level of shelf; f) revision of Clause 7 concerning the accuracy of eco functions with residual heat use; g) revision of Clause 8 in order to improve the reliability of the method for measuring the energy consumption, especially regarding anti-circumvention; h) unique energy consumption measurement for all heating functions and eco functions with an indication of the energy consumption for a temperature increase of 165 K (compared to 155 K currently for forced air circulation function, for example), which results in higher energy consumption values compared to the previous edition; i) Ry replaced by L* in Clause 9 and reference to IEC TS 63350; j) cook
