Overview

EN 203-2-8:2005 is a CEN European Standard for gas heated catering equipment that defines specific safety, construction and energy-use requirements for brat pans and paëlla cookers. Published in 2005, this document supplements EN 203-1 (general safety rules) and applies to type testing only. It specifies mandatory design requirements and the test methods to verify safety (gas tightness, combustion-product evacuation, mechanical stability, fire risk) and rational use of energy for commercial catering appliances such as tilting, fixed, rotary, pressure and deep-fat brat pans and paella cookers.

Key topics and technical requirements

• Scope and appliance types: Definitions for tilting, fixed, rotary, pressure, brazing, paella and deep-fat brat pans (e.g., tilting mechanisms, pressurised covers, basket lifters).
• Safety of combustion and gas circuits:
  • Soundness tests for gas circuits and combustion-product evacuation (including CO2 monitoring for tilting pans).
  • Requirements for flexible hoses and swivel joints: endurance test of at least 35,000 cycles and soundness at 150 mbar using air or nitrogen.
• Mechanical safety and stability:
  • Anti-accidental tilting mechanisms, maintained-action controls for powered tilting, secure strainers and safe cover operation.
• Fire and burn risk controls:
  • Design and positioning of grease/oil collection vessels to avoid ignition.
  • Deep-fat brat pans must have indelible max/min oil level marks, a temperature regulator (≤ 200 °C in normal operation), and an overheat limit (≤ 230 °C when the thermostat is disabled).
  • Prevent water addition in frying mode above 80 °C oil temperature to avoid splashing and fire risk.
  • Residual oil must not ignite after emptying (verified by test).
• Rational use of energy:
  • Energy consumption measured to attain a temperature rise of (70 ± 2) K above ambient (data collection period noted for future limits).
  • Deep-fat brat pans must demonstrate at least 50% efficiency under specified test conditions.
• Pressurised appliances:
  • Mandatory pressure regulators, non-modifiable relief valves, secure locking mechanisms and pressure indicators; pressure testing per EN 203-1.

Applications and who uses this standard

• Manufacturers of commercial brat pans and paella cookers - for product design, safety compliance and type testing.
• Testing laboratories and conformity assessment bodies - to perform mandated tests (gas tightness, endurance, combustion-product soundness, energy efficiency).
• Procurement teams and specifiers in catering and food-service sectors - to ensure purchased equipment meets European safety and energy-use standards.
• Regulators and safety engineers - for reference in inspection, certification and risk assessments.

Related standards

• EN 203-1:2005 - Gas heated catering equipment - Part 1: General safety rules (mandatory companion document)
• Other EN 203-2 subparts (series) covering additional large-kitchen appliance types (see CEN national bodies for full list).
