Full title and description

STB BS EN 30-1-2:2023 + A1:2024 — Domestic cooking appliances burning gas — Part 1-2: Safety — Appliances having forced-convection ovens. This consolidated national adoption incorporates CEN’s EN 30-1-2:2023 and Amendment A1:2024, and specifies safety, constructional and marking requirements, plus test methods for domestic gas cooking appliances fitted with forced-convection ovens and/or grills.

Abstract

This standard sets out special constructional and operational characteristics, safety requirements and type‑test methods for domestic cooking appliances burning gaseous fuels that have forced‑convection ovens and/or grills. It covers component parts whether independent or incorporated, includes requirements related to electrical equipment associated with gas use, and lists specific exclusions and limitations to which the standard does not apply.

• Publisher: CEN (Comité Européen de Normalisation) — published nationally by standards bodies such as BSI, NSAI and equivalents.
• ICS / categories: 97.040.20 (Domestic cooking appliances; gas appliances).
• Edition / version: BS EN 30-1-2:2023 + A1:2024 (consolidated edition incorporating Amendment A1:2024).
• Number of pages: Approximately 30 pages (national publications list ~30 pages for the 2023+A1 consolidated text).

Scope

The standard applies to domestic cooking appliances burning gas that are fitted with forced‑convection ovens and/or grills and to their component parts (whether independent or incorporated). It is limited to type testing and includes requirements for safety, marking and associated electrical equipment used with the gas functions. The text explicitly excludes certain appliance types such as outdoor appliances, appliances connected to combustion‑product evacuation ducts, pyrolytic gas ovens, certain covered burners, appliances operating at pressures outside the normative range, and other categories listed in the scope. The standard does not replace electrical safety requirements for purely electrically‑heated components.

Key topics and requirements

• Constructional and operational safety requirements specific to forced‑convection ovens and grills.
• Type test methods to verify safe operation, combustion behavior and performance under defined conditions.
• Marking and information requirements for safe use, installation and maintenance.
• Requirements addressing electrical equipment incorporated in gas appliances where associated with gas functions (note: does not cover electrical safety of separately electrically‑heated components).
• Explicit list of exclusions and limitations (outdoor appliances, pyrolytic gas ovens, remote‑operated burners in many cases, appliances with specific fan arrangements, etc.).
• Normative references to related EN standards for general requirements and test gases/pressures.

Typical use and users

Used by appliance manufacturers (design and compliance), test laboratories (type testing and certification), conformity assessment bodies, regulatory authorities and technical committees. Also consulted by product designers, quality managers and installers to ensure appliances meet European safety and marking requirements for forced‑convection gas ovens.

Related standards

Key related documents include EN 30-1-1 (Domestic cooking appliances burning gas — Part 1-1: Safety — General), EN 437 (Test gases — Test pressures — Appliance categories), and other parts of the EN 30 series (for example Part 2‑2 on rational use of energy for forced‑convection ovens). The standard is cross‑referenced by and to other gas‑appliance standards and normative references used for type testing and conformity assessment.
