4 General requirements
4.1 The water mist system, operating without manual intervention, shall successfully complete all
described performance tests for their specific applications. Each application shall be tested individually.
4.2 System components, component locations, operating conditions and test hall details shall remain
unaltered throughout all of the performance tests for a given application.
4.3 All fire tests should be conducted following the manufacturer’s instructions in regard to nozzle
placement, spray flux, and spray duration.
5 Deep fat fryer, hood and duct mock-up requirements
5.1 Deep fat fryer
The deep fat fryer used for the deep fat fryer tests shall be a commercially available natural gas, propane,
or electric deep fat fryer, at least 230 mm deep, having a cooking surface area as specified in the
manufacturer’s installation instructions. For a deep fat fryer with an integral drip board, or the like, the
calculated cooking area, along with the drip area, shall be as indicated in the manufacturer's installation
instructions.
Multiple-vat and split-vat deep fat fryers shall be separately tested.
NOTE On certain electric fryers, the heating elements can be damaged due to the high temperatures during the
fire testing; therefore, natural gas or propane fuelled units are commonly used for the fire tests.
oSIST prEN 14972-12:2023
prEN 14972-12:2023 (E)
The deep fat fryer shall be such that, at an ambient temperature of (21 ± 5) °C:
a) adjusting the deep fat fryer to its maximum power setting, the average value of rise in temperature
per minute when the temperature of the oil goes from (260 ± 5) °C to (315 ± 5) °C, shall not be less
than 7 °C/min;
b) adjusting the deep fat fryer to its maximum power setting and shutting it off on reaching (325 ± 5) °C,
the average value of descent of temperature per minute when the temperature of the oil goes from
(315 ± 5) °C to (260 ± 5) °C, shall not exceed 3 °C/min.
For the verification of the deep fat fryer requirements, temperatures shall be continuously recorded with
a thermocouple located at the same position as during the tests as indicated in Clause 7.
The length and width of the cooking area of the fryer being tested shall correspond to the maximum area
coverage and dimension limitations specified in the manufacturer’s installation instructions.
5.2 Deep fat fryer mock-up
Each hood and duct extinguishing test shall be conducted with a deep fat fryer mock-up as an ignition
source located under the hood directly below the duct entrance. The distance between the ignition source
and the hood entrance shall be convenient for the test installation.
The deep fat fryer mock-up shall be a pool fabricated of sheet metal at least 2 mm thick, having a surface
area of at least 0,35 m and depth of at least 230 mm. Alternatively, a deep fat fryer as specified in 5.1
may be used.
5.3 Duct mock-up
The shape of the duct shall be rectangular. The extinguishing system may be used in a round duct having
