A.4.301.1 Measurement of oven temperature
Measure the temperature at the centre of the main oven and any additional oven(s) (where fitted) using
a thermocouple capable of meeting the uncertainty of measurement requirements specified in A.3.
Measure and record the centre temperature of each oven either continuously or at intervals not exceeding
1 min. At the end of the test period, calculate the mean centre temperature of each oven.
A.4.301.2 Hotplate boiling testA.4.301.2.1 General
This test may be conducted as a separate test or as part of one of the typical test regimes detailed in
A.4.302. The hotplate boiling test may start from cold or may follow the nominal heat output test provided
that the fire has been de-ashed in accordance with A.4.3 at the termination of that test. In either case, the
---------------------- Page: 13 ----------------------oSIST prEN 16510-2-3:2021
prEN 16510-2-3:2021 (E)
appliance is then operated for a further pre-test period in accordance with A.4.7.2 before commencing
the test period.If the test is started from cold, the hotplate boiling pre-test period shall be preceded by an initial ignition
and pre-test period at nominal heat output in accordance with A.4.7.2.The primary air opening to be used for the hotplate boiling test shall be as specified by the manufacturer
in the operating instructions for the appliance. If the appliance is fitted with a thermostatically controlled
primary air control, the test is carried out with the thermostatic control in operation.
A.4.301.2.2 Test utensilThe boiling test utensil shall be a steel or cast iron saucepan having the dimensions shown in
Figure A.301. The base of the saucepan shall be flat with a tolerance of 0,05 mm in the concave direction
only.A.4.301.2.3 Pre-test period
At the end of the nominal heat output test or at the end of the initial ignition and pre-test period, de-ash
the fire if this has not already been done. Load the appliance with the calculated mass of test fuel in
accordance with A.4.2.Where the appliance is fitted with an oven, set the primary air control as stated in the appliance operating
instructions so that a centre of oven temperature of (230 ± 30) °C is achieved. The pre-test period ends
when the centre of oven temperature has remained steady within (230 ± 30) °C for a period of not less
than 30 min.For appliances without an oven, leave the control set for nominal heat output and allow it to operate at
this nominal heat output for a period of not less than 30 min. This ends the pre-test period.
A.4.301.2.4 Test periodPlace (2 000 ± 5) g of water into the test utensil and place the lid in position. Insert a thermometer,
meeting the uncertainty of measurement requirements specified in A.3, through the hole in the centre of
the lid, so that the bottom of the thermometer bulb is positioned (10 ± 1) mm above the inside base of
the test utensil. Leave the test utensil to stand for at least 5 min. Measure the temperature of the water
and ensure that this is between 17 °C and 20 °C.The boiling test starts 20 min after the start of the test period by placing the test utensil on the boiling
plate and ends when the temperature in the test utensil has increased by 75 K. Record the time taken for
the temperature to rise by this amount.For cookers without an oven, maintain the control settings necessary to give the nominal heat output.
Refuel and de-ash the fire as necessary. A single hotplate boiling test shall be completed within 30 min of
the start of the test period.For cookers with oven(s), maintain the centre of oven temperature within (230 ± 30) °C over the 120 min
boiling test period. Refuel and de-ash the fire, as necessary. A total of two boiling tests shall be carried
out, one starting 20 min into the first 60 min period and the other starting 20 min into the second 60 min
period.Measure and record the surface temperatures of any operating knobs intended to be operated without
the use of a tool, and the temperature in any integral fuel storage container, if fitted. The temperatures
shall be measured at intervals of such duration as to ensure that the maximum temperatures achieved
are recorded.Measure and record the temperatures of the trihedron test hearth and walls, either continuously or at
regular intervals of not more than 1 min, to ensure that the maximum temperatures achieved are
recorded.---------------------- Page: 14 ----------------------

A.4.301.3 Oven heating test
A.4.301.3.1 General
This test assesses the ability of the oven to cook satisfactorily strips of shortbread at an oven temperature
declared by the manufacturer. This test may be conducted as a separate test or as part of one of the typical
test regimes detailed in A.4.302. The test can be started from cold or may follow another test. In either
case a pre-test period is allowed to pre-condition the cooker and achieve the manufacturer's claimed
oven temperature.A.4.301.3.2 Recipe for shortbread
For the shortbread cooking test, the following recipe is used:
— 300 g wheat flour;
— 200 g margarine taken from the refrigerator 1 h beforehand;
— 100 g caster sugar;
— 1 egg (approximately 60 g);
— 1 pinch salt.
The ingredients are mixed together in a mixer to form a paste. The mixing is stopped when a good paste
consistency is obtained. The paste is then placed in a refrigerator at a temperature between 2 °C and 10 °C
and left to stand for not less than 12 h.The paste is removed from the refrigerator 20 min before being formed into strips (4 ± 1) mm thick and
