IEC 63350:2026(Main)

Household electric appliances - Specification of the properties of a digital system for measuring the performance

IEC 63350:2026 specifies generic requirements for creating a digital system that is used for measuring the characteristics of visually detectable performance, such as browning intensity and lightness.
It defines the metrological requirements of this digital system and demonstrates the procedures for compliance. The digital system contains the measuring instrument, the software, and the reference materials necessary to realize the measurement process.
References to this document can be made by a customer when specifying the digital system and by the suppliers when specifying products offered.
Interested parties can agree to use this document as an input for satisfying measurement management system requirements in any activities.
This first edition cancels and replaces IEC TS 63350, published in 2022.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to IEC TS 63350:
a) Revision of 4.2: movable items (e.g., containers, jigs, reference objects) can now be present in the assessment area provided that mitigation measures are applied and periodic verification against known reference artefacts is documented; the requirement to keep the assessment area as constant as possible is retained.
b) Addition of new supporting document: Note in 5.1 introduces the Fogra 52 profile (included in the reference colour supporting documents from the IEC SC 59K supporting documents web site) which is referencing the conditions ISO 12647-7 and ISO 12647-2.
c) Four additional reference shades with hue angles > 130° are introduced in 5.3 for calibration (to enable accurate pixel‑wise hue‑angle measurement). These do not create new shade classes.
d) Revision of 6.2: Calculation of sampling positions remains unchanged, but the procedure changes to reflect better the actual test scenario.
e) Added reporting of input image colour channel data (7.7).

IEC 60350-2:2025(Amendment)

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

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

IEC 60350-1:2023(Main)

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

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) cooking time for reference measurement introduced for broccoli in Clause 10;
k) yellow part replaced by hue angle value in Clause 10;
l) requirements for digital assessment (see former 7.5.3.6.3) are obsolete as specified in IEC TS 63350;
m) revision of Clause 14 (Consumption measurement of low power modes, previous Clause 12);
n) former Annex G (informative) is cancelled due to the fact that this method for measuring an associated activity has been not applied;
o) former Annexes B and F are obsolete, up-to-date shade charts are specified in IEC TS 63350;
p) former Annex E will be substituted by a supporting document located on the IEC's website.
