Overview

SIST EN 30-1-4:2026 by CEN defines the essential safety requirements, test methods, and marking guidelines for domestic cooking appliances burning gas, specifically those featuring one or more burners with an automatic burner control system. This European Standard covers various types of gas cooking appliances, ensuring they meet stringent safety criteria when equipped with such advanced control features. It applies to appliances designed for use with gases specified in EN 30-1-1:2008+A2:2010 and intended for domestic kitchens. The standard is utilized alongside EN 30-1-1 and other relevant EN 30-1 parts, aiming to harmonize product safety across the European market.

Key Topics

  • Scope and Applicability:
    The standard addresses requirements for construction, performance, safety, and marking of gas-fueled domestic cooking appliances with automatic burner control systems. It is applicable to appliances with one or more burners, including those with or without fans for combustion air or exhaust.

  • Safety Requirements:

    • Automatic shut-off valves and flame supervision devices
    • Compliance for both direct and indirect burner control methods
    • Protection against accumulation of unburnt gas
    • Measures related to electrical safety for components involved in gas operation
  • Testing and Verification:

    • Type testing methodologies for operational safety and constructional integrity
    • Specific test procedures for ignition, flame stability, combustion quality, and fail-safe operation

This document (EN 30-1-4:2026) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 49 “Gas cooking
appliances”, the secretariat of which is held by UNI.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an
identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by September 2026, and conflicting national standards shall
be withdrawn at the latest by March 2029.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document supersedes EN 30-1-4:2012.
This document has been prepared under a standardization request addressed to CEN by the European
Commission. The Standing Committee of the EFTA States subsequently approves these requests for its
Member States.
For the relationship with EU Legislation, see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this
document.
The main modifications in this document with respect to the previous edition (EN 30-1-4:2012) are the
following:
— Alignment with Regulation 2016/426/EU throughout the full text;
— Alignment with EN 30-1-1:2021+A1:2023 and its structure;
— Alignment with the requirements of EN 298:2022 (5.4);
— Harmonization of the safety times for hobs and ovens (5.4);
— Clarification for requirements about appliances capable of remote operation (5.5);
— Alignment with EN 30-1-1:2021+A1:2023 of the requirement for delayed start and end of a cooking
