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document is also applicable to portable appliances with similar functionalities that were previously covered by the withdrawn IEC 61817.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;
