A.4.101.1 Measurement of oven temperature
Measure the temperature at the centre of the main oven and any additional oven(s) (where fitted) using a
thermocouple capable of meeting the uncertainty of measurement requirements specified in A.3. Measure and
record the centre temperature of each oven either continuously or at intervals not exceeding 1 min. At the end
of the test period calculate the mean centre temperature of each oven.
A.4.101.2 Hotplate boiling test
A.4.101.2.1 General
This test may be conducted as a separate test or as part of one of the typical test regimes detailed in A.4.102.
The hotplate boiling test may start from cold or may follow the nominal heat output test provided that the fire
has been de-ashed in accordance with A.4.3 at the termination of that test. In either case, the appliance is
then operated for a further pre-test period in accordance with A.4.7.2 before commencing the test period.
If the test is started from cold, the hotplate boiling pre-test period shall be preceded by an initial ignition and
pre-test period at nominal heat output in accordance with A.4.7.2.
The primary air opening to be used for the hotplate boiling test shall be as specified by the manufacturer in the
operating instructions for the appliance. If the appliance is fitted with a thermostatically controlled primary air
control, the test is carried out with the thermostatic control in operation.
A.4.101.2.2 Test utensil
The boiling test utensil shall be a steel or cast iron saucepan having the dimensions shown in Figure A.101.
The base of the saucepan shall be flat with a tolerance of 0,05 mm in the concave direction only.

A.4.101.2.3 Pre-test period
At the end of the nominal heat output test or at the end of the initial ignition and pre-test period, de-ash the fire
if this has not already been done. Load the appliance with the calculated mass of test fuel in accordance
with A.4.2.
Where the appliance is fitted with an oven, set the primary air control as stated in the appliance operating
instructions so that a centre of oven temperature of (230 ± 30) °C is achieved. The pre-test period ends when
the centre of oven temperature has remained steady within (230 ± 30) °C for a period of not less than 30 min.
For appliances without an oven, leave the control set for nominal heat output and allow it to operate at this
nominal heat output for a period of not less than 30 min. This ends the pre-test period.
A.4.101.2.4 Test period
Place (2 000 ± 5) g of water into the test utensil and place the lid in position. Insert a thermometer, meeting
the uncertainty of measurement requirements specified in A.3, through the hole in the centre of the lid, so that
the bottom of the thermometer bulb is positioned (10 ± 1) mm above the inside base of the test utensil. Leave
the test utensil to stand for at least 5 min. Measure the temperature of the water and ensure that this is
between 17 °C and 20 °C.
The boiling test starts 15 min after the start of the test period by placing the test utensil on the boiling plate
and ends when the temperature in the test utensil has increased by 75 K. Record the time taken for the
temperature to rise by this amount.
For cookers without an oven, maintain the control settings necessary to give the nominal heat output. Refuel
and de-ash the fire as necessary. A single hotplate boiling test shall be completed within 30 min of the start of
the test period.
For cookers with oven(s), maintain the centre of oven temperature within (230 ± 30) °C over the 120 min
boiling test period. Refuel and de-ash the fire, as necessary. A total of two boiling tests shall be carried out,
one starting 15 min into the first 60 min period and the other starting 15 min into the second 60 min period.
Measure and record the surface temperatures of any operating knobs intended to be operated without the use
of a tool, and the temperature in any integral fuel storage container, if fitted. The temperatures shall be
measured at intervals of such duration as to ensure that the maximum temperatures achieved are recorded.
Measure and record the temperatures of the trihedron test hearth and walls, either continuously or at regular
intervals of not more than 1 min, to ensure that the maximum temperatures achieved are recorded.
A.4.101.3 Oven heating test
A.4.101.3.1 General
This test assesses the ability of the oven to cook satisfactorily strips of shortbread at an oven temperature
declared by the manufacturer. This test may be conducted as a separate test or as part of one of the typical
test regimes detailed in A.4.102. The test can be started from cold or may follow another test. In either case a
pre-test period is allowed to pre-condition the cooker and achieve the manufacturer's claimed oven
temperature.

A.4.101.3.2 Recipe for shortbread
For the shortbread cooking test, the following recipe is used:
 300 g wheat flour;
 200 g margarine taken from the refrigerator 1 h beforehand;
 100 g caster sugar;
 1 egg (approximately 60 g);
 1 pinch salt.
The ingredients are mixed together in a mixer to form a paste. The mixing is stopped when a good paste
consistency is obtained. The paste is then placed in a refrigerator at a temperature between 2 °C and 10 °C
and left to stand for not less than 12 h.
The paste is removed from the refrigerator 20 min before being formed into strips (4 ± 1) mm thick and
(20 ± 2) mm width. The strips, spaced (10 ± 1) mm apart, are placed on the baking sheet parallel with the side
walls of the oven so as to fill the tray to within (25 ± 3) mm of the nearest projection from the walls of the oven.
A.4.101.3.3 Ignition and pre-test period
Start the flue gas extraction system and adjust the applied draught so that the static pressure in the
measurement section is set to the nominal heat output test draught for the appliance as given in Figure 2, or
such other value as given in the appliance manufacturer’s installation instructions.
Load the appliance with sufficient test fuel to ensure ignition of the fuel in accordance with the appliance
manufacturer's operating instructions. Opening of the ashpit door or removal of the ashpit cover to aid ignition
is permitted. When the fuel is well alight close the ashpit door or replace the ashpit cover, if these have been
opened or removed previously, and load the appliance with the nominal charge of fuel.
Adjust the applied flue draught to give the appropriate static pressure in the measurement section. Set the
primary air control to the setting required so that the burning rate necessary to preheat the oven to the
temperature specified by the manufacturer in the appliance operating instructions for the cooking of
shortbread is achieved.
The pre-test period ends when the manufacturer's claimed oven temperature to within ± 10 °C has been
maintained for a period of 30 min.
A.4.101.3.4 Test period
The test is performed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions concerning:
a) the pre-heating of the oven (temperature and time);
