Full Description

This part of IEC 60350 specifies methods for measuring the performance of electric cooking ranges, ovens, steam ovens, and grills for household use.

NOTE 1 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document is also applicable to portable appliances with similar functionalities that were previously covered by the withdrawn IEC 61817.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.

NOTE 2 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;
– heating functions and eco functions other than defined in this document;
– appliances with only solo steam function.

NOTE 3 This document does not apply to
– microwave ovens (IEC 60705).

This document defines the main performance characteristics of these appliances that are of interest to the user and specifies methods for measuring these characteristics.

This document does not specify a classification or ranking for performance.

NOTE 4 This document does not deal with safety requirements (IEC 60335-2-6 and IEC 60335-2-9).

NOTE 5 Appliances covered by this document can be built-in or for placing on a working surface or the floor.

NOTE 6 There is no measurement method for the energy consumption for grilling and steam functions available.
