Overview
EN 12983-2:2023+A1:2025 is a CEN (European) standard that sets safety and performance requirements for domestic ceramic and glass‑ceramic cookware and glass lids used on top of a cooking range or hob. It covers oven‑top applications (e.g., browning on the hob then finishing in an oven) and includes Amendment 1 (2025) which adds tests for glass‑lid impact and fragmentation.
Key topics and requirements
- Scope: Applies to ceramic, glass‑ceramic (vitroceramic) cookware and glass lids intended for hob/top‑of‑range use.
- Impact resistance:
- Rims and handles must withstand an impact energy > 0.05 J (per EN 12980).
- Glass lids are subjected to a steel‑ball impact test (Annex B) and must show no visible damage.
- Thermal shock endurance (EN 1183):
- Cookware body: Δt ≥ 180 °C.
- Lid: Δt ≥ 150 °C.
- Hob suitability test (Annex A): a performance procedure simulating real use (e.g., heating with 10 ml oil, 500 g minced beef, followed by 60 min in 200 °C oven) to verify survival under hob/oven cycling.
- Non‑stick and easy‑clean surfaces: Claims must comply with EN 13834:2020 test requirements for non‑stick and easy‑clean coatings.
- Thermally toughened (tempered) glass lids: Fragmentation test (Annex C) requires at least 40 particles in a 50 mm square to demonstrate proper tempering; borosilicate lids are exempt from this fragmentation test.
- Product information & labelling:
- Visible point‑of‑sale labelling: type, material, size, suitable heating sources (symbols allowed), manufacturer/importer.
- Mandatory care, safety and use instructions (pre‑use preparation, cleaning, energy efficiency, deep‑frying warnings, contact details).
Practical applications - who uses this standard
- Cookware manufacturers and designers: to design ceramic/glass products that meet European safety/performance criteria.
- Testing laboratories and compliance officers: to perform the specified impact, thermal shock, hob‑use and fragmentation tests (Annexes A–C).
- Importers, distributors and retailers: to ensure correct labelling and user information at point of sale.
- Product safety and quality managers: for risk assessments, CE/national compliance, and claims about hob compatibility, non‑stick or easy‑clean finishes.

Die Norm EN 12983-2:2023+A1:2025 behandelt die Sicherheits- und Leistungsanforderungen für Kochgeschirr aus Keramik und Glas, das auf einem Kochfeld oder Herd verwendet wird. Diese spezielle Norm richtet sich an Hersteller und Verbraucher von Keramikküchenutensilien und betont die Bedeutung von Qualität und Sicherheit in der alltäglichen Kochpraxis. Ein wesentlicher Punkt der Norm ist ihr umfassender Anwendungsbereich, der sowohl keramische als auch glas-keramische Kochgeschirre sowie Glasdeckel abdeckt. Dies zeigt die Vielseitigkeit und Relevanz der Norm für moderne Küchen, wo sowohl traditionelle als auch innovative Materialien genutzt werden. Die Norm adressiert spezifische Anforderungen an die Sicherheit und die Leistung, was für Verbraucher von großer Bedeutung ist, da sie die Langlebigkeit und Sicherheit der Produkte sicherstellt. Besonders hervorzuheben ist, dass die Norm auch Ofenoberflächenanwendungen für Keramikgeschirr berücksichtigt, was die Flexibilität der Nutzung erhöht. Hierbei wird auf Anwendungen wie das Anbraten von Fleisch eingegangen, was bedeutet, dass die Norm den gesamten Kochprozess in Betracht zieht und nicht nur die Verwendung auf dem Herd. Ein weiterer Stärkepunkt der Norm ist der Hinweis, dass Anforderungen für die Eignung zur Verwendung mit Induktionskochfeldern in Vorbereitung sind. Dies zeigt, dass die Norm anpassungsfähig ist und auf aktuelle Entwicklungen in der Küchentechnologie reagiert, was ihre langfristige Relevanz unterstreicht. Insgesamt ist die EN 12983-2:2023+A1:2025 eine wichtige Norm, die sowohl die Sicherheit als auch die Leistung von Kochgeschirr im häuslichen Gebrauch sicherstellt. Durch die klare Definition der Anforderungen wird nicht nur die Qualität der Produkte gefördert, sondern auch das Vertrauen der Verbraucher gestärkt.
The standard EN 12983-2:2023+A1:2025 is a comprehensive document that delineates the safety and performance requirements for domestic cookware, specifically focusing on ceramic cookware and glass lids intended for use on top of a cooking range or hob. One of the primary strengths of this standard is its clear definition of the scope, which encompasses not only ceramic and glass-ceramic cookware but also the associated glass lids. By specifying the context of use-that is, for stovetop applications-the standard addresses important aspects of both functionality and safety that are critical for everyday cooking practices. Furthermore, the inclusion of various cooking techniques, such as the browning of meat prior to finishing in an oven, underscores the versatility of the cookware and ensures that it is suited for modern culinary needs. Additionally, the revision to include supplementary requirements acknowledges the evolving market for domestic cookware. Although the standard currently does not encompass suitability for induction hobs, it indicates that considerations for such applications are being developed, which reflects an adaptive approach to emerging technologies in kitchen appliances. The attention to safety and performance is particularly relevant in today's consumer climate, where users are increasingly concerned about the quality and reliability of kitchenware. The standard serves to reassure consumers that the ceramic and glass cookware they use meets rigorous criteria for safe operation, which is paramount in a domestic environment. In summary, EN 12983-2:2023+A1:2025 delivers a robust framework that supports both manufacturers and consumers by setting necessary expectations for cookware performance and safety, reinforcing its importance in the ongoing evolution of domestic cooking tools.
SIST EN 12983-2:2023+A1:2025は、調理器具、特に家庭用のセラミック及びガラス製の煮込み鍋に関する重要な標準です。この文書は、調理台やホブの上で使用するためのセラミック製品やガラス製リッドに関する安全性と性能要件を具体化しており、その範囲は非常に広範です。 この標準の強みは、セラミック調理器具の安全性を確保するための詳細な要件が含まれている点にあります。これには、製品が高温での調理に耐えうること、また異なる調理方法に対応することが求められています。特に、肉の焼き色をつける際など、調理範囲内での使用にフォーカスした設計が示されています。 さらに、ガラス蓋の使用に関する追加要件が含まれており、該当する製品が調理時の視覚的な観察を可能にし、コックスタイルを向上させるための性能基準が定められています。これにより、ユーザーは料理をしながらその過程を確認しやすくなります。 また、現在進行中のインダクションホブに対する適合性に関する要件も注目すべき点です。今後の更新で、より多くの調理スタイルに対応する情報が提供されることが期待されます。 以上の点から、SIST EN 12983-2:2023+A1:2025は、家庭用セラミック調理器具とガラス製リッドの安全性と性能基準を確立するために非常に有意義であり、調理器具業界の標準化を促進する重要な役割を果たしています。
SIST EN 12983-2:2023+A1:2025 표준은 주방용 도자기 및 유리 뚜껑으로 제작된 국내 조리기구의 안전성과 성능 요건을 규정하고 있습니다. 이 표준은 조리 기구가 조리 범위나 홀 위에서 안전하게 사용될 수 있도록 보장하며, 특히 도자기 조리기구의 오븐 사용을 염두에 두고 있습니다. 강점으로는, 이 표준이 조리 과정 중 고기 구울 때처럼 특정 조리 작업이 조리기구에서 이루어질 수 있도록 허용하는 점입니다. 이러한 요구 사항은 사용자가 다양한 요리 방법을 적용할 수 있도록 하여 유연성을 제공합니다. 또한, EN 12983-2:2023+A1:2025 표준은 유도 조리기구와의 적합성 요건을 현재 정리 중이라는 점에서, 지속적으로 발전하는 주방 기구의 기술적 요구를 반영하고 있습니다. 이러한 점에서 표준의 적절성은 더욱 높아지며, 시장에서의 신뢰를 구축할 수 있는 기반을 제공합니다. 전반적으로, 이 표준은 당면한 안전 요구 사항과 성능 기준을 충족시킬 뿐만 아니라 조리기구의 다양성과 혁신성을 인정하는 역할을 하고 있습니다.
La norme EN 12983-2:2023+A1:2025 se distingue par son approche exhaustive concernant les exigences de sécurité et de performance des ustensiles de cuisson domestiques en céramique, en céramique vitrée et des couvercles en verre. Elle s'applique spécifiquement aux ustensiles destinés à être utilisés sur les plaques de cuisson ou les foyers, ce qui en fait un document pertinent pour les fabricants et les utilisateurs d'ustensiles de cuisine. L'un des points forts de cette norme est sa capacité à couvrir les applications sur le dessus des plaques de cuisson, notamment dans des contextes où la cuisson nécessite une combinaison de méthodes, telles que le brunissage de la viande suivi d'une cuisson au four. Cela enrichit son scope en permettant aux utilisateurs de mieux comprendre les capacités et les limitations des produits en céramique, tout en garantissant une sécurité d'utilisation qui est primordiale dans un environnement domestique. En outre, la norme se concentre sur l'importance de la compatibilité avec les différents types de foyers, bien que les exigences spécifiques pour les foyers à induction soient encore en cours de compilation. Ce point de développement souligne la norme comme étant dynamique et adaptable aux évolutions du marché des ustensiles de cuisine, renforçant ainsi sa pertinence pour les utilisateurs modernes qui recherchent des produits adaptés à des technologies de cuisson variées. La clarté et la précision des exigences établies dans ce document font de la norme EN 12983-2:2023+A1:2025 un outil essentiel pour assurer la qualité et la sécurité des matériaux de cuisson en céramique et en verre, contribuant ainsi à la satisfaction des consommateurs et à la sécurité alimentaire globale.
