IEC 60350-1:2011 pdf Household electric cooking appliances – Part 1: Ranges, ovens, steam ovens and grills – Methods for measuring performance
1 Scope
This part of IEC 60350 specifies methods for measuring the performance of electric cooking
ranges, ovens, steam ovens, and grills for household use.
The ovens covered by this standard may be with or without microwave function.
Manufacturers should define the primary cooking function of the appliance – microwave
function or thermal heat. The primary cooking function has to be 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.
NOTE 1 If the primary function is not declared by the manufacturer, microwave function and thermal heat should be measured as far as it is possible.
NOTE 2 For measurement of energy consumption and time for heating a load (see 7.4), this standard is furthermore not applicable to:
– microwave combination function;
– ovens with reciprocating trays or turntable;
– small cavity ovens;
– ovens without adjustable temperature control;
– heating functions other than defined in 3.1 2 to 3.1 4;
– appliances with only solo steam function (3.1 5).
NOTE 3 This standard does not apply to
– microwave ovens (IEC 60705),
– portable appliances for cooking, grilling, steaming and similar functions (IEC 61 81 7).
This standard defines the main performance characteristics of these appliances which are of
interest to the user and specifies methods for measuring these characteristics.
This standard does not specify requirements for performance.
NOTE 4 Some of the tests which are specified in this standard are not considered to be reproducible since the results may vary between laboratories. They are therefore intended for comparative testing purposes only.
NOTE 5 This standard does not deal with safety requirements (IEC 60335-2-6 and IEC 60335-2-9).
NOTE 6 Appliances covered by this standard may be built-in or for placing on a working surface or the floor.
NOTE 7 There is no measurement method for the energy consumption for grilling and steam functions available.
3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1 cooking range
appliance having a hob and at least one oven. It may incorporate a grill
3.2 hob
appliance or part of an appliance which incorporates one or more cooking zones
NOTE A hob is also known as a cooktop. Methods for measuring performance of hobs are described in IEC 60350-2.
3.3 oven
appliance or compartment of a cooking range in which food is cooked by radiation, by natural
convection, by forced-air circulation or by a combination of these heating methods
3.4 pyrolytic self-cleaning oven
oven in which cooking deposits are removed by heating the oven to a sufficiently high
temperature
3.5 steam ovens
appliance or compartment of a cooking range in which food is cooked mainly by steam
condensation at ambient pressure. Appliance are fitted with an own steam generator
NOTE Steam does not mean the evaporated water from the food.
3.6 combi steam ovens
appliance or compartment of a cooking range in which food is cooked by combination of 3.3
and 3.5
NOTE 1 Combi steam ovens with only steam assist function also exist. For these ovens the steam function can only be tested if this function is described in the manual instruction or if the appliance provides a setting for steam function.
NOTE 2 Steam does not mean the evaporated water from the food.
