Foreword
This document (EN 60350-2:2013) consists of the text of IEC 60350-2:2011 prepared by IEC/SC 59K
"Ovens and microwave ovens, cooking ranges and similar appliances", of IEC/TC 59 "Performance of
household and similar electrical appliances", together with the common modifications prepared by
CLC/TC 59X "Performance of household and similar electrical appliances".
The following dates are fixed:
(dop) 2014-06-03
• latest date by which this document has to be implemented
at national level by publication of an identical
national standard or by endorsement
• latest date by which the national standards conflicting (dow) 2016-06-03
with this document have to be withdrawn
Together with EN 60350-1:2013, this document will supersede EN 50304:2009/EN 60350:2009 +
A1:2010/A11:2010.
EN 50304:2009/EN 60350:2009:
1) a method to measure energy consumption of hobs
a) that is representative for a real cooking process, for which after the heat up phase a
simmering phase has been implemented in the measurement. Water as a standardised load
is used. Food is theoretically considered in the experimental setup but not used as that leads
to insufficient reproducibility. The ranking between the technologies will not be changed by
different methods/applications, so the energy consumption is measured only by one energy
optimised method.
b) that is applicable to compare different electrically heated technologies like e.g. induction,
radiant or solid plates
c) that leads not to a comparison with gas burners. Gas hobs are covered by EN 30-2-1.
d) that fulfil requirements of repeatability and reproducibility (crucial for energy measuring
purposes). Therefore the cooking process is defined on the temperature level 90 °C to avoid
influence on the boiling point by ambient pressure.
e) that is applicable for hobs with different layouts and cooking zone / area sizes.
This method is based on the method described in TC59X/217/DC.
2) definition of cooking areas:
Following new market trends a definition for cooking areas is given. A definition is necessary as
cooking areas have other demands e.g. for positioning the cookware or selecting the cookware sizes
than cooking zones.
3) definition of standardised cookware also for big cooking zone sizes:
For a high reproducibility a standardised cookware shall be used. Therefore a self made cookware is
defined up to a size of 330 mm bottom diameter.Evaporating water by holes in the lid simulates a
cooking process on a higher temperature level. The thermal energy which is needed to keep at
boiling point for a real cooking process including evaporation and the energy uptake of the food
during the simmering phase is considered by the holes.
4) additional requirements (according to EN 50564) how to measure low power modes.

- 3 - EN 60350-2:2013
5) under consideration:
A control procedures for checking measured values in comparison to values declared by the
manufacturer under consideration of permitted tolerances. WG10 with the support and sponsorship of
CECED believes that it is fundamental to proceed with a Round Robin Test procedure of this draft
amendment to confirm requirements of repeatability and reproducibility and to estimate the standard
deviation of the method itself.
Clauses, subclauses, notes, tables, figures and annexes which are additional to those in
IEC 60350-2:2011 are prefixed “Z”.
Words in bold in the text are defined in Clause 3.
According to the decision D137/061 for CLC/TC 59X, this European Standard has been drawn up as a
document which follows, as far as suitable, the structure of IEC 60350-2:2011.
It also describes the evaluation of data declared by the manufacturer and control procedures for checking
these values.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CENELEC by the European Commission
and the European Free Trade Association.
This European Standard is suitable for direct comparison and is considered sufficiently reproducible
within given limits for the purpose of setting the ecodesign requirements for hobs according to the
Directive ERP 2009/125/EC.
Endorsement notice
The text of the International Standard IEC 60350-2:2011 was approved by CENELEC as a European
Standard with agreed common modifications.

The purpose is to assess the heating up time of a defined water load. In a second measurement, the
energy consumption for heating up a defined water load and keep it at a defined temperature level for
20 min is determined.
NOTE 1 Heating up and keeping the temperature for a defined period represents a typical household cooking process. Additional
the quality of control is measured by keeping an amount of water at a defined temperature as exactly as possible.
NOTE 2 The simmering time of 20 min represents an average household cooking duration. Additionally at least 20 min further
simmering time is necessary to assess the quality of a control which influences the energy consumption.
7.1.Z2 Cookware and water amount
Standardised cookware with lid as specified in Figure Z1 is used for 7.1.
Hobs working exclusively with system cookware and not with household like cookware shall be tested
with its system cookware, but the system cookware shall be covered with the lid according to Table Z3.

The material of the cookware bottom is stainless steel 1.4016 according to EN 10088-2, the thickness is
6 mm ± 0,05 mm. The surface shall not be shiny.
The flatness of the bottom plate is specified in Table Z3 for different sizes. Convex shaped bottom plate is
not allowed. The flatness of the base has to be checked before starting a measurement.
For the side wall, 1.4301 stainless steel according to EN 10088-2 with 1 mm ± 0,05 mm thickness shall
be used. The cookware is cylindrical without handles or protrusions.
As the dimensions and material of cookware and lid influence the performance, only the cookware
specified in Figure Z1, including the lid, shall be used.
The lid is made of aluminium, thickness is 2 mm ± 0,05 mm. The dimensions for the lid are fixed in
Table Z3. Each hole on the hole circle of the lid has a diameter of 16 mm ± 0,1 mm. The holes shall be
evenly distributed on the hole circle.
The lid, which is flat, is adapted to accommodate a temperature sensor in the centre. The temperature

sensor is positioned 15 mm above the inner cookware bottom.
In order to reduce measurement noise generated by the electromagnetic field of an induction cooking
zone, the lid of the cookware shall be connected to ground through a clamp (see Figure Z1, d)). The
ground connection of the electric installation of the testing laboratory shall be according to HD 60364-5-54.
NOTE 1 A wire of 2 mm of section and maximum length of 2 m is welded to the metallic clamp and ends in connection box which
is joined to a plug connector.
NOTE 2 A supplier for the stainless steel 1.4016 and for the cookware is indicated in B.Z1 and B.Z2.
NOTE 3 The sidewalls of the cookware can be built up of a metal sheet. The metal sheet is rolled and welded to a sheet-metal
jacket. The sidewalls can additionally fixed by three welding points to the bottom. The requirements for flatness have to be fulfilled
afterwards.
NOTE 4 An example how to fix the temperature sensor to the lid is shown in Annex ZB.
NOTE 5 Evaporating water by holes in the lid simulates a cooking process on a higher temperature level. The thermal energy
which is needed to be at the boiling point for a real cooking process including evaporation and the energy uptake of the food during
the simmering phase is considered by the holes.

7.1.Z3Determine a cookware set to assess a hob with cooking zones
The number of pieces of cookware needed to assess a hob shall correspond to the number of controls
which can be used simultaneously and independently.
For selecting sizes and number of cookware pieces, see Table Z4.
Table Z4 – Criteria for cookware set – Cooking zones
Number of cookware used Criteria for cookware set for cooking zones
for tests according to 7.1
From one standardised cookware category according to Table Z3 that is
equal to the dimensions of the cooking zone or best fit.
At least from one standardised cookware category according to
2 Table Z3 that are equal to the dimensions of the cooking zones or best
fit.
At least from two standardised cookware categories according to
3 Table Z3 that are equal to the dimensions of the cooking zones or next
best fit cookware category.
At least from three standardised cookware categories according to
4 or more Table Z3 that are equal to the dimensions of the cooking zones or next
best fit cookware category.
For circular multiple zones, the biggest diameter determined according to 6.2.Z2 is considered.
For non circular cooking zones, the cookware size is determined by the short axis measured according
to 6.2.Z2.
If on an induction hob cookware is not detected, the next bigger cookware diameter is chosen
independent from the cookware category.
If a standardised cookware category A-D has to be substituted, the next best fitting cookware is selected.
The cookware with the closest bottom diameter compared to the cooking zone diameter is chosen.

- 15 - EN 60350-2:2013
Hereby cookware can be smaller or bigger than the cooking zone. Therefore also smaller diameter of
multiple zones can be considered. Each cooking zone is taken into account only once. The one with
the closest diameter to the cooking zone is the best fitting cookware size.
If a selected cookware size is out of the range of the sizes allowed by the user manual, then the closest
diameter compatible with the defined range has to be chosen.
If it is not clear which cookware size is best fitting, all possibilities are assessed.
NOTE As mentioned in 7.Z1 for multiple zones which include a circular and an elliptical or rectangular part, only the circular part
is tested.
7.1.Z4Positioning the cookware on a cooking zone
On a cooking zone, the cookware is used in the centre.
The centre of an elliptical or similar shaped cooking zone is determined in the intersection of the shortest
and longest axis.
The centre of a rectangular or similar cooking zone is determined in the intersection of the two
diagonals.
If two cooking zones with the same size are available and cookware pieces with different sizes have to
be placed there, then the selection for the bigger cookware size will be made in accordance with the
following order of precedence:
a) cooking zones having higher maximum power;
b) cooking zones being located at the rear of the hob;
c) cooking zones being located at the left.
7.1.Z5 Procedure for measuring the heating up time
Before this measurement is done, the hob has to be operated for at least 10 min to make sure that
residual water in the components is vaporised.
For this measurement, only one control with one cookware shall be switched on.
The cookware is filled with the quantity of potable water specified in Table Z3. The water has a
temperature of 15 °C ± 0,5 °C. The cookware covered with the lid is positioned centrically on the cooking
zone or cooking area.
The cooking zone or cooking area is heated with maximum power.
NOTE 1 If the smaller diameter of multiple zones is considered, the corresponding power is used.
The time taken for the water temperature to rise by 75 K is measured. The test is performed three times.
The average value of the results is determined.
The time is stated in minutes, rounded to the nearest ten seconds.
NOTE 2 Energy consumption can be measured for comparative tests. Residual heat is not taken into account in this case.
7.1.Z6 Procedure for measuring the energy consumption of a cooking process
7.1.Z6.1 General
Before this measurement is done, the hob has to be operated for at least 10 min to make sure that
residual water in the components is vaporized.
For this measurement, only one control with one cookware shall be switched on.
The appliance shall be at ambient temperature.

The empty cookware, which shall have ambient temperature, is filled with the quantity of potable water
specified in Table Z3 and stirred. The temperature of water is measured when the average temperature of
cookware and water has stabilised. The initial temperature shall be in the range of 15 °C ± 0,5 °C (T ).
The cookware covered with the lid is immediately positioned centrally on the cooking zone or cooking
area.
The measurement shall start immediately after placing the cookware on the cooking zone or cooking
area. The power control is set to maximum power.
NOTE 1 Water having an initial temperature of 14,5 °C minimise the stirring time.
NOTE 2 The filled cookware should not be stored in the fridge to avoid the rims getting too cold.
NOTE 3 If the smaller diameter of multiple zones is considered the corresponding power is used.
7.1.Z6.2 Preliminary measurements
7.1.Z6.2.1 General
Preliminary tests are carried out to determine the appropriate water temperature for reducing the power
setting (T ) and to determine the lowest level to set to achieve ≥ 90 °C during the remaining cooking
c
period.
7.1.Z6.2.2 Determine T
c
The procedure described in 7.1.Z6 shall be followed.
The power shall be switched off when the water temperature reaches 70 °C (T ).
The temperature rising is recorded continuously. The highest temperature value is stated as temperature
overshoot (∆T ), see Figure Z2.
o
T/ °C
ΔT

Figure Z2 – Overshoot measurement
NOTE 1 For ΔT , the value stated on the temperature measuring instrument is taken.
o
To get a higher accuracy the temperature T is determined by the average of the recorded temperature
between t – 10 s and t + 10 s. If the result is within the tolerance of 70 °C ± 0,5 °C then this
70 70
temperature is noted. If not, the test is repeated.
T is calculated according to the following formula:
c
T = 93 °C – ∆T
c o
where T is rounded to the nearest integer.
c
In case the temperature limiter of a radiant cooking zone is switching down, the power during the tc
period, a 2 K higher T is allowed.
c
If the calculated T is ≤ 80 °C, then 80 °C is taken as T
c c.
- 17 - EN 60350-2:2013
T , the temperature for reducing the power setting, is stated.
c
NOTE 2 Empirical tests show similar T values per induction cooking zones and cooking areas, radiant cooking zones and
c
solid plates. The following values are representative and they can substitute the result of 7.1.Z6.2.2 as fixed values:
- induction cooking zones and cooking areas T = 89 °C;
c
- radiant cooking zones T = 85 °C;
c
- solid plate T = 80 °C.
c
7.1.Z6.2.3 Determine simmering setting
The procedure stated in 7.1.Z6 is followed.
If T is reached, the setting is reduced to achieve the water simmering at a temperature ≥ 90 °C and as
c
close as possible to 90 °C. An additional change of setting is not allowed. For T , the tolerances are
c
+1,0 K to -0,5 K.
At first, the lowest simmering setting is selected. If the temperature of the water is < 90 °C during the
simmering time, the test has to be repeated with an increased power setting.
When the water temperature reaches 90 °C for the first time (T ), the simmering time starts independent
from T
c.
The simmering time is 20 min.
The lowest possible simmering power setting is noted.
For control units without detent, the knob position should be marked. The simmering setting could differ if
a knob is turned from a higher position to a lower position compared to turning from a lower position to a
higher position.
NOTE For a clear marking of the lowest possible simmering power setting, a polar coordinate paper can be useful (see
Annex ZB).
7.1.Z6.3 Measuring energy consumption
The procedure stated in 7.1.Z6 is followed. The results from 7.1.Z6.2.2 and 7.1.Z6.2.3 are applied. After
finishing, the appliance is set to off mode. If the appliance doesn’t offer an off mode, it is set to standby
mode.

7.1.Z7 Evaluation and calculation
7.1.Z7.1 General
The single results according to 7.1.Z5 and 7.1.Z6 are determined for a hob as following.
7.1.Z7.2 Energy consumption for a hob
The energy consumption E is calculated as followed:
hob
– the result of each cookware is normalised to 1 000 g of water; the energy consumption is divided by
the quantity of water used for the cookware under test;
– the average of the normalised energy consumption of the hob is calculated considering all cookware
pieces under test.

8 Consumption measurement of low power modes
In addition to EN 50564, the following requirements are given.
For an appliance composed of a combination of separate units which may consist of one of a variety of
different hobs and one of a variety of different ovens, the recommended combination as declared in the
manufacturer’s instruction is used for the test.

If appliance A (e.g. hob) can only be operated combined with appliance B (e.g. oven), first the low power
mode for appliance B without appliance A is measured and noted. Afterwards, the low power mode for
the appliance B combined with the appliance A is measured. The low power consumption of appliance A
is calculated by the difference between these two measurements.
When preparing the test report for an appliance composed of a combination of separate units, the
combination of types of main powered parts (hobs, ovens, grills, warming plates, griddles etc) used for
the measurement shall be recorded. The consumption of low power modes shall be noted for each unit A
and B separately.
NOTE The measurement procedure for energy consumption of ovens is described in EN 60350-1.
When testing appliances that are fitted with a clock, the clock shall be adjusted to the correct time and
date as specified in the instructions.
In case energy consumption is influenced by continuous changing displayed time of a clock, a
measurement period of 24 h is necessary. The value from this measurement is noted.
If the appliance has an ambient light sensor, two illuminance levels in accordance to EN 50564 shall be
measured during the 24 h period, each illuminance level for 12 h.
If an option is provided to the user to switch off the display, both the switched on and switched off mode
are to be tested and reported.
