Materials and articles in contact with food stuffs - Test method for the resistance to microwave heating of ceramic, glass, glass-ceramic or plastics cookware

This European Standard specifies a method for the determination of the resistance to microwave heating of cookware made of ceramic, glass, glass-ceramic or plastics.
It is applicable to articles that are intended for multiple re-use in a microwave oven. It is not applicable to articles, particularly those made from plastics, which are intended to be discarded after one use.

Werkstoffe und Gegenstände in Kontakt mit Lebensmitteln - Prüfverfahren für die Beständigkeit von Kochgeschirr aus Keramik, Glas, Glaskeramik oder Kunststoff bei Erhitzung in der Mikrowelle

Diese Europäische Norm legt ein Verfahren zur Bestimmung der Widerstandsfähigkeit von Kochgeschirr aus Keramik, Glas, Glaskeramik oder Kunststoff gegen Mikrowellenerhitzung bei Erhitzung in der Mikrowelle fest.
Die Norm gilt für Gegenstände, die zum mehrmaligen Gebrauch in einem Mikrowellengerät vorgesehen sind. Auf Wegwerf-Gegenstände, die nur einmalig benutzt werden, ist die Norm nicht anwendbar, was speziell für Gegenstände aus Kunststoff zutrifft.

Matériaux et articles en contact avec les denrées alimentaires - Méthode d'essai de la résistance des articles culinaires en céramique, verre, vitrocéramique ou plastique au chauffage par micro-ondes

La présente Norme européenne spécifie une méthode permettant de déterminer la résistance au chauffage aux
micro-ondes d?articles culinaires en céramique, verre, vitrocéramique ou plastique.
Elle s?applique aux articles destinés a etre utilisés de nombreuses fois dans un four a micro-ondes. Elle ne
s?applique pas aux articles a usage unique, notamment ceux en matiere plastique.

EN 15284:2007 (E) 3 Foreword This document (EN 15284:2007) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 194 “Utensils in contact with food”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by October 2007, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by October 2007. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom.



EN 15284:2007 (E) 4 Introduction This European Standard specifies a method for subjecting articles designated as suitable for use in a microwave oven to a standard amount of energy for short and long time periods in a normal domestic microwave oven. The minimum power level specified is close to the maximum power capacity of most European domestic microwave ovens and the limits will permit the use of a wide range of domestic microwave ovens without alteration. The short time period is meant to be typical of use of articles for the reheating of foods and beverages, and the long time period is meant to represent use of articles for cooking. The articles are tested in an empty condition in order to create worst-case conditions with respect to heating of the article and thermal stress to the article. Certain types of ceramic and plastics can absorb water in use, and so in order to simulate real use ceramic and plastics articles are immersed in water for 1 h before the test. The objectives of the method are to exclude:  articles that could damage the oven (non-metallic articles with metallic decoration can cause arcing; very porous ceramic articles can absorb water that would be rapidly heated when the article is microwaved, and thus reach a high temperature and pressure which may cause the article to explode);  articles that may be damaged by microwave heating;  articles where handles exceed a safe handling temperature after the short time period of heating only. Safe handling temperatures of 56 °C for ceramic, glass-ceramic or glass and 60 °C for plastics handles were chosen by reference to a one minute contact time in EN ISO 13732-1 [1]. Articles are tested by heating in a microwave oven for both a short and a long period of time. For articles with handles, the temperature of the handle is measured after the short period of heating. Additional data can be derived by measurement of the surface temperature of the articles after both the short and the long periods of heating. This will provide useful information for manufacturers and suppliers of cookware.



EN 15284:2007 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies a method for the determination of the resistance to microwave heating of cookware made of ceramic, glass, glass-ceramic or plastics. It is applicable to articles that are intended for multiple re-use in a microwave oven. It is not applicable to articles, particularly those made from plastics, which are intended to be discarded after one use. 2 Principle An article is subjected to microwaves in the presence of water external to the test specimen for both a short and a long period of time, and any damage to the article is noted. For articles with handles, the temperature of the handle is measured after the short period of heating. The max
