Materials and articles in contact with foodstuffs - Cutlery and table holloware - Part 5: Specification for sharpness and edge retention test of cutlery (ISO 8442-5:2004)

This European Standard specifies the sharpness and edge retention of knives which are produced for professional and domestic use in the preparation of food of all kinds, specifically thoses knives intended for hand use. Powered blade instruments of any kind are excluded. Generally these types of knives are manufactured with blades of either plain edge design or with edges incorporating particular features to enhance or to optimize aspects of cutting ability.

Werkstoffe und Gegenstände in Kontakt mit Lebensmitteln - Schneidwaren und Tafelgeräte - Teil 5: Festlegung der Schneidfähigkeit und Prüfung der Kantenbeständigkeit (ISO 8442-5:2004)

Diese Europäische Norm legt die Schneidfähigkeit und Schneidhaltigkeit von Messern fest, die für den beruflichen Gebrauch sowie für den Gebrauch im Haushalt zur Zubereitung von Nahrungsmitteln aller Art hergestellt werden und besonders für den Gebrauch mit der Hand bestimmt sind.
Geräte mit motorisch angetriebener Klinge jeglicher Art sind ausgeschlossen.
Im allgemeinen werden diese Messertypen mit Klingen, die eine glatte Schneide oder Schneiden, die besondere Merkmale zur Verbesserung oder Optimierung der Schneidleistung aufweisen, hergestellt.
Die folgenden zwei Typen von Messerklingen sind für die Schnittprüfung geeignet:
   -   Schneide-Typ A:   Schneiden, die durch den Verwender nachgeschärft werden können und Schneiden, deren Zahnabstand größer als 1 mm ist.
   -   Schneide-Typ B:   Schneiden, die nicht zum Nachschärfen mit einem Wetzstahl vorgesehen sind.
Während diese Messer vorwiegend mit Klingen aus verschiedenen wärmebehandelten Stahlgüten hergestellt werden, wird die Prüfung von Messern einer anderen Bauart oder aus anderem Klingenmaterial nicht ausgeschlossen, vorausgesetzt die Prüfkriterien werden erfüllt.
Der Grundsatz der Prüfung besteht darin, durch Vorwärts- und Rückwärtsbewegungen gegen einen Stapel eines synthetischen Prüfmittels unter kontrollierten Prüfbedingungen, einen Schneidvorgang durch eine Messerklinge zu reproduzieren

EN ISO 8442-5:2004 (E) 4 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the sharpness and edge retention of knives which are produced for professional and domestic use in the preparation of food of all kinds, specifically those knives intended for hand use. Powered blade instruments of any kind are excluded. Generally these types of knives are manufactured with blades of either plain edge design or with edges incorporating particular features to enhance or optimize aspects of cutting ability. The following two types of knife blade are suitable for the cutting test: Type A edges: Cutting edges which can be resharpened by the user and edges with a pitch greater than 1 mm; Type B edges: Cutting edges which are not intended to be resharpened on a steel. Whilst these knives are predominantly manufactured with blades made from various grades of heat treated steels, the testing of knives of any construction or blade material is not precluded providing that the test criteria are met. The principle of the testing is to reproduce a cutting action, by forward and reverse strokes, against a pack of synthetic test medium under controlled parameters. 2 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this European Standard, the following terms and definitions apply. 2.1 cutlery utensils for the preparation and serving of food having a blade with a cutting edge 2.2 centre line line which generally bisects the cross-section of the blade passing through the cutting edge and the back of the blade (see Figure 1) EXAMPLE SIST EN ISO 8442-5:2005

Figure 1 — Centreline 2.3 initial cutting performance (ICP) cutting ability to be expected by the user from a knife when supplied “as new” from the factory or point of sale 2.4 cutting edge retention (CER) ability of the knife blade’s edge to resist wear throughout its useful life 2.5 total card cut (TCC) cumulative amount of card cut (measured in millimetres) by the test knife over the duration of a full test 2.6 cutting cycle one forward plus one reverse stroke of the designated length of the blade against the medium 3 Testing 3.1 General When tested in accordance with the test method of clause 7 each type of knife shall conform to 3.2 to 3.4. This test shall be carried out before any other physical or mechanical test so that edge performances are assessed in the “as received” condition. 3.2 Test length The portion of the cutting edge of the blade to be tested (see 3.3) shall be straight except for a maximum deviation (positive or negative, not both) of 1 mm. In the case of type “ B “ edges the shape of the blade is considered to be the underlying profile on which the detail is superimposed (see Figure 2). SIST EN ISO 8442-5:2005

Key A Max. deviation from straight (shown positive) B Stroke length Figure 2 — Blade to be tested 3.3 Test conditions The same test is applied to both types of knives but the duration for the purpose of establishing cutting edge retention is determined by the type of edge. Test parameters are given in Table 1. Table 1 — Cutting test parameters Blade edge Type Test load

Cutting cycles (F) A 50 40 50 60 B 50 40 50 200 3.4 Cutting performance When tested in accordance with clause 7 the minimum initial cutting performance (ICP) and cutting edge retention (CER) shall conform to the performance levels specified in Table 2. Table 2 — Performance levels Blade edge type Minimum ICP mm Minimum CER (TCC) mm A 50 150 B 50 1 500 4 Principle Performance of the blade in terms of distance cut through the medium on each cycle is measured throughout the duration of the test, which is designed to accelerate wear of the knife blade over a short period. Blades shall cut an adequate amount of medium to complete the test and the two cutting performance indicators ICP and CER are calculated in accordance with clause 8 from the accumulated data.

This card shall be pure chemical soda pulp without any other chemical additive except for the addition of silica in the proportion of (5 ± 0,5) % by weight. The properties of the quartz shall conform to Tables 3 to 5. The quartz shall have the percentage composition of chemical elements specified in Table 3.

The physical properties of each strip shall be as specified in Table 5.
