Overview
EN 1116:2018 - Furniture - Kitchen furniture - Coordinating sizes for kitchen furniture and kitchen appliances (CEN) defines coordinated dimensional rules to ensure domestic kitchen furniture and appliances (built-in and built-under) fit together correctly. The standard covers heights, widths, depths and installation/recess spaces for worktops, kitchen units, decorative panels, sinks and white goods. It applies to domestic kitchens only (not commercial kitchens such as hotels or restaurants).
Key topics and technical requirements
EN 1116:2018 sets out measurable coordination rules between furniture and appliances to support consistent design, manufacturing and installation:
Worktops
- Recommended worktop depth: at least 600 mm to accommodate standard appliance depths.
- Maximum front overhang: 30 mm.
- Vertical clearance rules for wall-hung units and extractors are specified (see standard for exact values and manufacturer‑specific distances).
Recesses and installation heights
- Recess height for built-under appliances: min. 820 mm, 870 mm, 920 mm or adjustable options are provided.
- Vertical distance between worktop and wall-hanging unit: at least 450 mm.
- Plinth height: recommended at least 80 mm.
Unit depths
- Minimum unit depth under a 600 mm worktop: 550 mm.
- Minimum wall-hung unit depth above worktop: 310 mm.
- Maximum total depth for wall-hung units above a worktop: 400 mm.
- Built-under appliances require total cabinet depth ≤ worktop depth.
Widths and clearances
- Nominal widths and tolerances for built-in and built-under appliances and associated recesses/fronts are tabulated in the standard (with guidance on fitting clearances and fittings).
- Furniture dimensions are specified with plus deviations only; appliance external dimensions are specified with minus deviations only relative to nominal values.
Installation guidance
- The standard references manufacturer installation instructions for cut-outs, safety clearances and installation elements (e.g., sinks, hobs).
Applications and users
EN 1116:2018 is essential for:
- Kitchen furniture designers and manufacturers
- Appliance (white goods and ovens) manufacturers and testers
- Kitchen installers and fitters
- Architects, interior designers and specifiers
- Retailers and quality assurance teams aiming for interchangeability and ergonomic compliance in domestic kitchens
Using EN 1116:2018 helps reduce installation errors, improve compatibility between kitchen units and appliances, and streamline production and procurement.

The EN 1116:2018 standard provides a pivotal framework for the dimensions and integration of kitchen furniture and appliances, guiding manufacturers and designers towards a unified approach in kitchen design. Its scope is comprehensive, addressing the coordinating sizes for kitchen units, worktops, recess panelling, furniture fronts, and decorative panels, thereby ensuring compatibility and aesthetic harmony in both residential and modular kitchen settings. One of the primary strengths of EN 1116:2018 lies in its specification of critical dimensions, including height, width, depth, and space requirements for incorporating kitchen appliances, such as white goods and ovens. This aspect is particularly relevant for ensuring that kitchen layouts remain functional and accessible, enhancing user experience. Furthermore, the standard sets clear parameters for the integration of essential installation elements, such as sinks, marking its importance in creating cohesive kitchen environments. The standard's exclusion of commercial kitchens, such as those in hotels and restaurants, allows it to focus specifically on residential applications, which enhances its applicability and relevance to a broader audience of designers and manufacturers. By concentrating on domestic kitchen environments, EN 1116:2018 serves as a key resource for optimizing kitchen functionality in private residences while also maintaining industry standards. In conclusion, EN 1116:2018 stands out for its thorough detailing of sizes and coordination for kitchen furniture and appliances, ultimately fostering efficiency and aesthetic appeal in domestic kitchen design. Its adoption is essential for both industry professionals and manufacturers who aim to deliver cohesive, well-integrated kitchen solutions, ensuring a high standard of usability and style in contemporary living spaces.
この文書は、EN 1116:2018という欧州標準に基づいて、キッチン家具とキッチン機器の調整サイズに関する重要な規定を提供しています。この標準は、キッチンユニット、作業台、レセスパネル、家具前面、装飾パネル、さらにはキッチン機器(白物家電やオーブン)、及びシンクなどの取り付け要素に関する調整サイズを明確に定義しています。 EN 1116:2018の主な強みは、その包括的な範囲にあります。高さ、幅、深さ、そしてキッチンユニットに機器を統合するためのスペースについての具体的な寸法を規定しているため、キッチンの設計および施工において一貫性と効率性をもたらします。この標準に従うことで、設計者や施工業者は、キッチンの機能性を最大限に引き出すことができ、顧客のニーズに応じた最適なキッチン環境を提供することが可能になります。 また、この標準は商業用キッチン(ホテルやレストランなど)には適用されないため、住居用のキッチンに特化した対策を講じています。これにより、個人の住宅における使用を重視した方針が徹底されており、市場における住居用キッチンの特有の要件に応じた重要な指針を提供しています。 このように、EN 1116:2018は、キッチン家具と機器に関する設計と施工の標準化を促進するための基盤を形成しており、特に家庭用キッチンにおいて高い関連性と価値を持つ標準です。
SIST EN 1116:2018 표준은 주방 가구 및 주방 기기를 위한 조화로운 치수를 정의하는 유럽 표준으로, 주방 가구, 작업대, 패널 및 주방 기기(화이트 가드 및 오븐)와 관련된 설치 요소의 크기를 명확히 규정합니다. 이 표준의 적용 범위는 주방 유닛의 높이, 너비, 깊이 및 기기를 통합하기 위한 공간을 포함하여 주방 설계의 필수 요소들을 포괄합니다. SIST EN 1116:2018의 강점은 조화로운 크기 기준을 통해 주방 가구와 기기의 효율적인 통합을 가능하게 한다는 점입니다. 이는 소비자들에게 보다 편리하고 기능적인 주방 환경을 제공할 수 있도록 설계되었습니다. 이러한 세부 규격은 가구 제조업체와 설계자가 공간 계획을 수월하게 할 수 있도록 돕고, 소비자들에게도 더 나은 사용 경험을 보장합니다. 또한, 이 표준은 특정 시장(예: 상업용 주방)에는 적용되지 않기 때문에 주거용 주방의 독립적인 필요를 충족시키는 데 중점을 둡니다. 따라서 SIST EN 1116:2018은 주방 설계 및 제작 과정에서 특히 관련성이 높으며, 업계 표준으로서 현장 실무에 긍정적인 영향을 미친다고 볼 수 있습니다. 결론적으로, EN 1116:2018은 현대 주방 가구와 기기의 설계 및 구현에 중요한 역할을 하며, 사용자 편의성을 배려한 명확한 치수 지침을 제공함으로써 이 분야의 품질 향상에 기여합니다.
