Specification for dedicated liquefied petroleum gas appliances - Barbecues for outdoor use contact grills included

This European Standard specifies the constructional and performance characteristics, safety specifications, relevant test methods and marking of barbecues burning liquefied petroleum gas, referred to in the body of the text as "appliances". This European Standard covers barbecues as defined in 3.6 and contact grills as defined in 3.8, used outdoors and operating with the gases indicated in 4.1 according to the categories indicated in 4.2. They are fitted with at least one cooking device. This European Standard applies to these appliances and their functional sections whether or not the latter are independent or incorporated into an assembly. This European Standard also applies to appliances designed to be built-in. This European Standard only applies 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 European Standard. During the consideration of this text, it was apparent that the concept of thermal efficiency with regard to appliances such as barbecues was not appropriate. This is because: during cooking, there is an additional transfer of heat due to the meat juices falling onto the refractories; there is no relation between the item to be cooked and the useful area; the barbecue is an outdoor appliance in which the action of the wind is important in relation to efficiency. In consequence there is no specific requirement covering thermal efficiency for this type of appliance. This European Standard does not state all applicable requirements for integral equipments of other nature (for example burners covered by EN 484).

Festlegungen für Flüssiggasgeräte - Grillgeräte zur Verwendung im Freien einschliesslich Kontaktgrillgeräte

Diese Norm spezifiziert die konstruktiven und funktionellen Eigenschaften, die Sicherheitskriterien, anzuwendende Prüfmethoden und die Kennzeichnung von Grillgeräten welche mit brennbaren Flüssiggasen betrieben werden und welche im Text als „Geräte“ bezeichnet werden.
Die Norm erfasst im Freien benutze Grillgeräte wie in 3.6 und Kontaktgrillgeräte wie in 3.8 definiert, welche mit Gasen wie in 4.1 dargestellt, abhängig von den Kategorien nach 4.2, betrieben werden. Sie sind mit mindestens einer Feuerstelle ausgestattet.
Diese Norm gilt für diese Geräte und deren funktionalen Bauteile unabhängig davon ob diese allein verwendet werden oder in eine Kombination eingebaut sind.
Die Norm gilt auch für Geräte, welche als Einbaugeräte vorgesehen sind.
Diese Norm befasst sich nur mit Baumusterprüfungen.
Geräte welche mit Gasen der dritten Gasfamilie mit einem Druck größer als in 4.2 beschrieben, betrieben werden liegen außerhalb der Anwendung dieser Norm.
Bei der Erstellung dieses Textes wurde ersichtlich, dass das Konzept des thermischen Wirkungsgrades für Geräte wie Grillgeräte nicht geeignet ist.
Die Gründe hierfür sind:
-   beim Garvorgang findet infolge des auf die feuerfesten Materialien tropfenden Fleischsaftes ein zusätzlicher Wärmeaustausch statt;
-   es besteht keine Beziehung zwischen dem Gargut und der Nutzfläche;
-   das Grillgerät ist ein Gerät zur Verwendung im Freien, bei welchem die Windeinwirkung hinsichtlich des Wirkungsgrades eine große Rolle spielt.
Aus diesem Grund gibt es für diese Art von Geräten keine besonderen Anforderungen bezüglich des thermischen Wirkungsgrades.
Diese Norm beschreibt nicht alle anzuwendenden Anforderungen für integrierte Bauteile anderer Beschaffenheit (z. B.  Brenner nach EN 484)

Spécifications pour les appareils fonctionnant exclusivement aux gaz de pétrole liquéfiés - Barbecues utilisés en plein air y compris grilloirs par contact

spécifications de sécurité et les méthodes d'essai afférentes, et de marquage, des barbecues fonctionnant aux gaz
de pétrole liquéfiés désignés dans l'ensemble du texte par "appareils".
La présente norme s'applique aux barbecues tels qu'ils sont définis en 3.6 et aux grilloirs par contacts tels qu'ils sont
définis en 3.8, utilisés en plein air et fonctionnant avec les gaz donnés en 4.1 suivant les catégories précisées en
4.2. Ils sont équipés d'au moins un accessoire de cuisson.
La présente norme s'applique à tous ces appareils ou éléments que ces derniers soient indépendants ou incorporés
dans un ensemble.
La présente norme s'applique également aux appareils destinés à être intégrés.
La présente norme couvre uniquement les essais de type.
Les appareils alimentés avec les gaz de la troisième famille à des pressions supérieures à celles définies en 4.2 sont
exclus du domaine d'application de cette norme.
Lors de l'élaboration de ce texte, il est apparu que la notion de rendement thermique pour des appareils tels que les
barbecues n'est pas appropriée.
En effet
- dans l'acte de cuisson, il existe un transfert thermique supplémentaire dû aux exsudats qui tombent sur les
matériaux réfractaires ;
- il n'y a pas de relation entre la pièce à cuire et la surface utile ;
- le barbecue est un appareil de plein air dans lequel l'action du vent est prépondérante en termes de
rendement.
En conséquence, ce type d'appareils ne donne lieu à aucune prescription spécifique concernant le rendement
thermique.
Cette norme ne spécifie pas toutes les exigences applicables aux équipements incorporés d’autre nature (par
exemple brûleurs pour récipient couverts par l’EN 484).

Specifikacija za plinske aparate na utekočinjeni naftni plin - Žari za uporabo na prostem, vključno z žari s ploščo

Ta evropski standard določa značilnosti izvedbe in delovanja, varnostne specifikacije, ustrezne preskusne metode in označevanje žarov na utekočinjen naftni plin, ki se v besedilu imenujejo »aparati«. Ta evropski standard zajema žare iz točke 3.6, žare s ploščo iz točke 3.8 za uporabo na prostem, ki delujejo na pline iz točke 4.1 v skladu s kategorijami iz točke 4.2. Nameščeno imajo najmanj eno kuhalno napravo. Ta evropski standard se uporablja za te aparate in njihove funkcionalne dele, ne glede na to, ali so ti deli samostojni ali vgrajeni v sestav. Ta evropski standard se uporablja tudi za aparate, ki so namenjeni vgradnji. Ta evropski standard se uporablja le za tipsko preskušanje. Aparati na plin tretje družine pri tlaku, ki presega tlak iz točke 4.2, so zunaj področja uporabe tega evropskega standarda. Med pripravljanjem tega besedila je bilo očitno, da koncept toplotne učinkovitosti pri aparatih, kot so žari, ni primeren. Razlogi za to so: med pečenjem pride do dodatnega prenosa toplote, ker mesni sokovi padajo na ognjevzdržen material; med hrano, ki se peče, in koristno površino ni povezave; žar je zunanji aparat, pri katerem ima delovanje vetra pomemben vpliv na učinkovitost. Posledično ni posebnih zahtev v zvezi s toplotno učinkovitostjo za to vrsto aparata. V tem evropskem standardu niso navedene vse veljavne zahteve za sestavno opremo druge narave (na primer gorilniki, zajeti v standardu EN 484).

1 Scope
This European Standard specifies the constructional and performance characteristics, safety specifications,
relevant test methods and marking of barbecues burning liquefied petroleum gas, referred to in the body of
the text as "appliances".
This European Standard covers barbecues as defined in 3.6 and contact grills as defined in 3.8, used
outdoors and operating with the gases indicated in 4.1 according to the categories indicated in 4.2. They are
fitted with at least one cooking device.
This European Standard applies to these appliances and their functional sections whether or not the latter
are independent or incorporated into an assembly.
This European Standard also applies to appliances designed to be built-in.
This European Standard only applies 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 European Standard.
During the consideration of this text, it was apparent that the concept of thermal efficiency with regard to
appliances such as barbecues was not appropriate.
This is because:
 during cooking, there is an additional transfer of heat due to the meat juices falling onto the refractories;
 there is no relation between the item to be cooked and the useful area;
 the barbecue is an outdoor appliance in which the action of the wind is important in relation to efficiency.
In consequence there is no specific requirement covering thermal efficiency for this type of appliance.
This European Standard does not state all applicable requirements for integral equipments of other nature
(for example burners covered by EN 484).
