— ISO Online browsing platform: available at https://www.iso.org/obp
3.1
cookware
utensil, in the form of a hollow container, intended for use in the cooking of food or liquids on the top of
a stove, cooker or hob, and/or in an oven
3.2
fixing system
attachment method, or methods, utilized in fastening a handle to the body of an item of cookware or to
fix a knob to a lid
3.3
capacity
maximum volume of water which can be held by the article on a level surface
Note 1 to entry: 0,1 % (mass fraction) of hand wash detergent shall be added to the water in order to minimize
the surface tension.
3.4
usable capacity
two thirds of the capacity
Note 1 to entry: The true usable capacity of the cookware varies with the food being cooked. The figure given
here is an average value intended for use in test situations only and not as information to the consumer.
3.5
handle
projection integral with or affixed to the body of the cookware and intended to facilitate the carrying and
holding of the article in normal use

6.1.1 Stability
The product shall be stable (i.e. shall not tilt), the base shall be in intended contact with the surface (a
slide could be accepted), when placed empty without lid on a (5 ± 0,5)° inclined surface in the least
favourable position.
6.1.2 Hygiene
All surfaces intended to come into contact with food shall be easily cleanable under normal
circumstances.
6.1.3 Mechanical hazards
All components shall be free from burrs, splinters or sharp edges that could cause injury or discomfort to

6.2 Geometry
6.2.1 Dimensions
The points of measurement of any claimed dimensions shall be made clear to the consumer, e.g. by means
of a simple sketch.
6.2.2 Capacity
If a capacity is claimed, the actual capacity shall be equal or greater than the claimed capacity, when
measured with an accuracy of 0,05 l.
6.2.3 Diameters
Any diameter claimed for the base shall be within ±10 mm of the average of two measurements of the
actual diameter taken at right angles to one another.
Any other claimed diameter shall be within ±5 mm of the average of two measurements of the actual
diameter taken at right angles to one another.
6.2.4 Sizes for non-circular products
Every claimed size shall be within tolerance of ±10 mm.

6.2.5 Base thickness
If a thickness is claimed for the base of a product, the average thickness of the base shall be greater than
85 % of the claimed thickness. The average thickness shall be calculated, by taking the average of the 8
points measured as described in Figure 1.
If more than 22 % of the base area is deliberately deformed for aesthetic or functional reasons, either
internally or externally, no claim for base thickness shall be made.

European foreword
This document (prEN 12983-1:2020) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 194 “Ustensils
in contact with food”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 12983-1:2000 and EN 12983-1:2000/A1:2004.
The major changes in this document compared to the previous documents are:
— revision of requirements and associated tests for:
— handles;
— coating;
— heat suitability;
— heat distribution;
— inclusion of requirements of CEN/TS 12983-2:2005 (except requirements for ceramic).

1 Scope
This document specifies safety and performance requirements for items of cookware for domestic use on
top of a stove, cooker or hob. It is applicable to all cookware regardless of material or method of
manufacture with the exceptions of those mentioned below. It is also applicable to cookware intended
for use both “on top“ and “in oven“.
Hob types covered by this document are gas, electricity solid plate, electricity radiant ring, radiant plate
in glass ceramic and induction plate in glass ceramic.
This document is not applicable to pressure cookers, stove top water kettles and coffee makers.
NOTE 1 Requirements for suitability for use in automatic dishwashers is under study by a specialist group and
will be added by amendment when completed.
NOTE 2 The requirements for ceramic and glass ceramic are specified in part 2.
