Domestic cooking appliances burning gas - Part 1-4: Safety - Appliances having one or more burners with an automatic burner control system
This European Standard specifies the construction and performance characteristics as well as the requirements and methods of test for the safety and marking of domestic cooking appliances, capable of using the combustible gases defined in EN 30-1-1:2008+A2:2010, that have one or more burners with an automatic burner control system, referred to in the text as "appliances".
This European Standard includes specific requirements and methods of test that are applicable to burners having an automatic burner control system, whether or not the appliance is equipped with a fan for the supply of combustion air to, and/or the evacuation of the products of combustion from the burner concerned. These specific requirements and methods of test are only applicable when the burner has an automatic burner control system and do not apply to burners having automatic ignition that fall within the scope of
EN 30-1-1:2008+A2:2010.
This European Standard is intended to be used in conjunction with EN 30-1-1:2008+A2:2010 and, where appropriate, other parts of EN 30-1 covering appliances having:
- forced-convection ovens and/or grills;
- a glass ceramic hotplate.
It does not cover all of the safety requirements and methods of test that are specific to forced-convection ovens and/or grills and glass ceramic hotplates.
Unless specifically excluded hereafter, this standard applies to these appliances or their component parts, whether or not the component parts are independent or incorporated into a single appliance, even if the other heating components of the appliance use electrical energy (e.g. combined gas-electric cookers).
This European Standard includes requirements covering the electrical safety of equipment incorporated in the appliance that is associated with the use of gas. It does not include requirements covering the electrical safety of electrically heated component parts of their associated equipment ).
This European Standard does not apply to:
- outdoor appliances;
- appliances connected to a combustion products evacuation duct;
- appliances having a pyrolytic gas oven;
- appliances having automatic burner control systems that:
- have a second safety time (see EN 298:2003), or
- control one or more burners that incorporate a separate ignition burner;
- appliances having an uncovered burner or a non-enclosed covered burner (see 3.1.1) that utilises a fan for the supply of its combustion air;
- appliances having enclosed covered burners that are not equipped with an automatic burner control system;
- appliances having one or more burners that are capable of remote operation (type1), unless the burner(s) concerned are:
- oven burners equipped with an automatic burner control system, or
- oven burners of time-controlled ovens that are designed for a delayed start without the user being present;
- appliances having one or more burners that are capable of remote operation (type 2), unless the burner(s) concerned are:
- oven, grill or hotplate burners equipped with automatic burner control systems, or
- oven burners of time-controlled ovens that are designed for a delayed start without the user being present;
- appliances supplied at pressures greater than those defined in 7.1.3;
- appliances equipped with air-gas ratio controls;
- appliances incorporating one or more hotplate or grill burners that enable the user to program the delayed start of a cooking cycle.
This European Standard does not cover the requirements relating to automatic on-off cycling multi-ring hotplate burners for which specific requirements are under consideration.
This European Standard does not cover the requirements relating to third family gas cylinders, their regulators and their connection.
This European Standard only covers type testing.

thermal cut-out
device which during abnormal operation limits the temperature of the controlled part automatically by
shutting off the gas supply to the burner or by reducing its heat input, and which is constructed so that
its setting cannot be altered by the user
3.2.2.16
self-resetting thermal cut-out
thermal cut-out which as appropriate initiates automatic recycling of the burner or automatic
restoration of the full heat input of the burner after the relevant part of the appliance has cooled down
sufficiently
3.2.2.17
non-self-resetting thermal cut-out
thermal cut-out which requires a manual operation, or the replacement of a part, in order as
appropriate to restart the burner or to restore its full heat input
3.2.3 Definitions concerning the operation of the appliance
3.2.3.1
start gas rate
mean volume rate or mass rate during the safety time where this gas rate is limited by design for the
purposes of ignition
3.2.3.2
start gas flame
flame that can only be established at the start gas rate of the burner
3.2.3.3
main flame
flame established, or capable of being established, at the full-on gas rate of the burner for the purposes
of ignition
3.2.3.4
running condition of the system
either:
condition of the automatic single burner control system in which the burner is in normal operation
under the supervision of the single burner programming unit and its flame detector device,
or:
conditions of the automatic multi-burner control system in which one or more burners are in normal
operation under the supervision of the multi-burner programming unit and their individual flame
detector devices

prEN 30-1-4:2021 (E)
3.2.3.5
ignition energy restoration
process by which, after disappearance of the flame signal in the running condition or, where
appropriate, in the event of failure to ignite, the ignition device is energized again without the gas
supply having been totally interrupted
Note 1 to entry: This process ends with the restoration of the running condition or, if there is no flame signal at
the end of the safety time:
either:
with volatile or non-volatile lock-out of the system,
or:
according to the design of the automatic multi-burner control system, with volatile or non-volatile lock-out of the
burner.
3.2.3.6
automatic recycling (of the system)
process by which, following accidental interruption of the operation of the automatic burner control
system, loss of flame signal during the running condition or, where appropriate, failure to ignite, the gas
supply to all of the burners controlled by the automatic burner control system is interrupted and the
complete start sequence is automatically re-initiated
Note 1 to entry: This process ends with the restoration of the running condition or, if there is no flame signal at
the end of the safety time, or if the cause of the accidental interruption has not disappeared, with volatile lock-out
or non-volatile lock-out of the system.
3.2.3.7
automatic recycling (of the burner)
process within an automatic multi-burner control system by which, following loss of flame signal during
the running condition or, where appropriate, failure to ignite, the gas supply to the burner concerned is
interrupted and the burner start sequence is automatically re-initiated
Note 1 to entry: This process ends with the restoration of the running condition or, if there is no flame signal at
the end of the safety time, with volatile lock-out or non-volatile lock-out of the system or with volatile or non-
volatile lock-out of the burner.
3.2.3.8
controlled shut-down
process by which the power to the automatic shut-off valve(s) is removed in order to shut off the supply
of gas to a burner under the control of an automatic burner control system within the extinction safety
time, e.g. as a result of the action of a controlling function
3.2.3.9
safety shut-down (of the system)
process which is effected immediately following the detection of a fault in the burner control system or
the response of a safety limiter or sensor and which shuts off the gas supply to all burners under the
control of the automatic burner control system within the extinction safety time by removing the power
to all of their automatic shut-off valves
oSIST prEN 30-1-4:2021
prEN 30-1-4:2021 (E)
3.2.3.10
safety shut-down (of the burner)
process which is effected immediately following the response of a safety limiter or sensor and which
shuts off the gas supply to the burner concerned within the extinction safety time by removing the
power to its automatic shut-off valve(s)
3.2.3.11.1
non-volatile lock-out (of the system)
safety shut-down condition of the system, such that a restart of the automatic burner control system
can only be accomplished by a manual reset of the system and by no other means
3.2.3.11.2
volatile lock-out (of the system)
safety shut-down condition of the system, such that a restart of the automatic burner control system
can only be accomplished by either the manual reset of the system, or an interruption of the electrical
supply and its subsequent restoration
3.2.3.11.3
non-volatile lock-out
