Appliances, solid fuels and firelighters for barbecuing - Part 3: Firelighters for igniting solid fuels for use in barbecues and grill applications - Requirements and test methods
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.
This document is intended to reduce the risks which may occur during and through barbecuing with solid fuels.
Geräte, feste Brennstoffe und Anzündhilfen zum Grillen - Teil 3: Anzündhilfen zum Befeuern fester Brennstoffe für den Einsatz in Grillen und bei Grillanwendungen - Anforderungen und Prüfverfahren
Dieses Dokument legt Anforderungen an die Sicherheit, Leistung, Verbraucherverpackung und Kennzeichnung
sowie Prüfverfahren für Anzündhilfen fest, die zum Anzünden fester Brennstoffe in Barbecue- und Grillgeräten
verwendet werden.
Dieses Dokument umfasst Anzündhilfen, die entweder als feste Substanz, Flüssigkeit, verdickte Flüssigkeit oder
Gelsubstanz geliefert werden. Der Einsatz leicht entzündlicher Flüssigkeiten (ausgenommen in stabilisierter
Darreichungsform) ist vom Anwendungsbereich dieses Dokuments ausdrücklich ausgeschlossen, weil deren
Gebrauch als Anzündhilfe zum Grillen als besonders gefährlich angesehen wird.
Das Dokument ist dafür vorgesehen, Risiken zu mindern, die während des Grillens selbst sowie infolge des
Grillens mit festen Brennstoffen auftreten können.
Appareils, combustibles solides et allume-feu pour la cuisson au barbecue - Partie 3 : Allume-feu pour l’allumage des combustibles solides dans les appareils de cuisson au barbecue et au gril - Exigences et méthodes d’essai
Le présent document spécifie les exigences en matière de sécurité, de performance, d’emballage grand public et de marquage, ainsi que les méthodes d’essai, relatives aux allume-feu servant à allumer les combustibles solides utilisés pour barbecues et grils.
Le présent document traite des allume-feu solides, liquides, pâteux ou en gel. Cependant, l’utilisation de liquides très inflammables (sauf pour des formulations stabilisées) est spécifiquement exclue du domaine d’application du présent document, car leur utilisation comme allume-feu pour barbecue est considérée comme extrêmement dangereuse.
Naprave, trdna goriva in naprave za vžiganje žara - 3. del: Vžigalniki za vžiganje trdnih goriv v žaru in uporaba žara - Zahteve in preskusne metode
Ta dokument določa zahteve glede varnosti, delovanja, potrošniške embalaže in označevanja, vključno s preskusnimi metodami za naprave za vžiganje, ki se uporabljajo za vžiganje trdnih goriv v napravah za žar in raženj.
Ta dokument zajema naprave za vžiganje, dobavljene kot formulacije v trdni, tekoči, zgoščeni tekoči obliki ali obliki gela. Vendar pa uporaba lahko vnetljivih tekočin (razen v stabiliziranih formulacijah) izrecno ne spada na področje uporabe tega dokumenta, saj njihova uporaba v napravah za vžiganje žara šteje za zelo nevarno.
Ta dokument je namenjen zmanjšanju tveganj, ki se morda lahko pojavijo med peko na žaru na trdna goriva in zaradi nje.
