Overview
SIST EN 12546-1:2001 is a European standard developed by CEN that specifies the requirements for insulated containers designed for domestic use with foodstuffs. This part of the EN 12546 standard focuses on vacuum ware, insulated flasks, carafes, and jugs used in household settings. It ensures these containers meet defined specifications for safe and efficient thermal insulation when storing or transporting food and drinks. Importantly, this standard excludes containers intended for industrial or catering use and does not cover material safety requirements, which are governed by separate legislation.
Key Topics
Scope and Applicability
EN 12546-1 applies solely to insulated containers intended for domestic environments, such as households. It covers vacuum ware along with other insulated vessels like flasks and jugs commonly used to maintain the temperature of beverages and food items.Specification for Thermal Insulation
The standard sets performance criteria ensuring vacuum flasks and insulated jugs retain heat or cold effectively over a practical period. This facilitates user confidence in the product’s thermal performance during everyday use.Design and Construction Requirements
It outlines essential design aspects for insulated containers, detailing characteristics that influence insulation properties and usability, including the physical integrity of the container.Exclusions
EN 12546-1 specifically excludes containers designed for industrial or professional catering settings. Additionally, it does not address material composition and safety in contact with food, as these are regulated by other food safety standards and legislation.
Applications
Domestic Insulated Flasks and Jugs
Manufacturers and designers of household vacuum flasks, insulated carafes, and jugs can use EN 12546-1 to ensure their products meet recognized safety and performance standards. This certification aids in market acceptance and consumer trust.Retail and Quality Assurance
Retailers can rely on compliance with EN 12546-1 to select quality insulated containers for consumers, ensuring products maintain food safety and efficiency during use.Consumer Use
End users benefit from standardized insulated containers that keep beverages hot or cold as intended, contributing to convenience and quality in daily food and drink storage.
Related Standards
Food Contact Materials Regulations
As EN 12546-1 does not cover material safety, it is essential to consult food contact materials legislation such as EU Regulation 1935/2004, which governs materials in contact with food.Other Parts of EN 12546
Additional parts of the EN 12546 series may cover other categories or aspects of insulated containers designed for different uses, such as industrial or catering applications.General Insulation and Thermal Performance Standards
Related European or international standards may provide further guidance on thermal insulation performance and testing methods applicable to vacuum ware and insulated containers.
SIST EN 12546-1:2001 is crucial for guaranteeing that household insulated containers meet defined standards of quality, safety, and performance. Manufacturers, retailers, and consumers benefit from adherence to these specifications, ensuring domestic insulated flasks and jugs are efficient, reliable, and safe for everyday use with foodstuffs.
