European foreword
This document (prEN 203-2-3:2025) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 106 “Large
kitchen appliances using gaseous fuels”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 203-2-3:2014 and is merged with EN 203-2-11:2006.
The technical changes in comparison to the previous edition are:
alignment with Part 1;
addition of pasta cookers.
This document is intended to be used in conjunction with EN 203-1:2021+A1:2023 “Gas Heated Catering
Equipment – Part 1: General safety requirements”. This document specifies particular requirements for
boiling pans and pasta cookers.
Where a particular subclause of EN 203-1:2021+A1:2023 is not mentioned in this part 2-3, the subclause
of EN 203-1:2021+A1:2023 applies as far as is reasonable. Where this document states "addition",
"modification" or "replacement", the relevant text of EN 203-1:2021+A1:2023 is adapted accordingly.
Subclauses and Figures which are additional to those in EN 203-1:2021+A1:2023 are numbered starting
with 101.
This document has been prepared under a standardization request addressed to CEN by the European
Commission. The Standing Committee of the EFTA States subsequently approves these requests for its
Member States.
For the relationship with EU Legislation, see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this
document.

5.1.2 Materials and methods of construction
Shall be according to EN 203-1:2021+A1:2023, 5.1.2 with the following additions:
For tilting boiling pans, the main burner(s) shall be shut-off during the whole movement of the tilting of

Tilting direction of the pan shall be clearly identified on the tilting control (except lever or crank). The
movement shall be smooth without risk of splashing and it shall be possible to check that the pan is
draining correctly in the different tilting positions.
Devices controlling the tilting process shall be clearly marked to show the direction of movement.
The control devices shall be located and protected in such a way that they cannot be operated
accidentally.
Appliances with tilting pans shall be fitted with a mechanism intended to avoid accidental tilting from
any position.
The pan shall be self-balanced or self-locking.
The pan shall only be tilted by a voluntary action of the operator. This requirement shall be the same
when the pan is tilted back to its working position.
For manual tilting devices and other than motorized appliances when the tilting time is less than 20 s, no
areas with a risk of entrapment shall be accessible by the operator.
When motorized or manual actuators are released in any tilting position of the pan, it shall remain
stationary.
Depending on the appliance design, the applicable requirement shall be met, when tested according to
7.8.101:
a) For manually tilted devices:
— tilting shall be only possible through an intentional pressure by the operator on the tilting
system;
— draining of the water shall be controllable throughout the emptying;
— when the operator stops the pressure, the pan shall remain in its last position or return to a
position of rest (draining, intermediate or utilization) without danger to the operator.
b) For tilting devices with self-balanced/locking system:
— it shall not cause further movement of the pan.
c) Tilting pans fitted with a strainer:
— the appliance shall remain in position;
— the pan shall be stable;
— the assembly shall not tilt;
— the strainer shall be fixed in an effective manner to stay in place in any tilting position.
d) For motorized tilting pans:
— it shall be achieved by a maintained action control dev
