CEN/TC 281 - Appliances, solid fuels and firestarters for barbecuing

This document specifies requirements for barbecues that burn solid fuels with regard to materials, construction, design, test methods, markings and instructions relating to them.
This document also applies to barbecues originally burning non-solid fuels that have been converted to burn solid fuels.
This document does not apply to single use barbecues. Single use barbecues are covered by EN 1860-4.

This document specifies the safety, performance, consumer packaging and marking requirements including the test methods for firelighters used to light solid fuels in barbecue and grill appliances.
This document covers firelighters supplied as either solid, liquid, thickened liquid or gel formulations. However, the use of highly flammable liquids (except in stabilized formulations) is specifically excluded from the scope of this document as their use as barbecue firelighters is regarded as highly dangerous.
