EN 484:1997

This standard specifies constructional and performance characteristics, safety specifications and rational use of energy, relevant test methods and marking of independent hotplates, including those fitted with a grill, burning liquefied petroleum gas, referred to in the body of the text as "appliances". This standard covers independent hotplates, including those fitted with a grill as defined in 3.39, used outdoors and operating with the gases indicated in 4.1 and according to the categories specified in 4.2. This standard applies to these appliances and their functional sections whether or not the latter are independent or incorporated into an assembly. This standard applies only to type testing. Appliances supplied with third family gas at pressures greater those defined in 4.2 are outside the field of application of this standard. Appliances used in leisure vehicles and boats are outside the field of application of this standard. Independent hotplate burners, whose nominal heat input is below 1,16 kW and grills, are not subject to any special requirement concerning the rational use of energy due to their low rate and their use for short periods of time
