1 Scope This standard specifies the method of test for determining the gas energy consumption in gas-fired domestic ovens when they are being used in one or more of the oven cooking modes defined in 3.1. It applies to the gas-fired domestic ovens which are capable of utilising gases of group H or group E, possibly after conversion according to manufacturer’s instructions. It applies to these gas-fired domestic ovens, whether they are separate appliances or component parts of domestic cooking appliances. It also applies to domestic appliances that can utilise gas and/or electrical energy to provide heat for cooking when the ovens are utilising gas energy to provide heat for cooking, but not when electric energy is used to provide any or all of the heat for cooking in the oven. It is not applicable to:  microwave combination ovens;
 small cavity ovens (3.2);  ovens without adjustable temperature control;
 cooking modes others than defined in 3.1.1 and 3.1.2;
 ovens connected to a chimney in which the gas energy for cooking also, by design, provides space and/or water heating;  appliances designed for use with gases of the third family only.
This standard is concerned neither with safety nor with performance requirements. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

SIST EN 15181:2008

3.1 oven cooking modes
3.1.1
conventional oven cooking mode operation of the oven for cooking roasts, pastry, etc., in which the transmission of heat is achieved by natural convection and radiation 3.1.2 forced-convection oven cooking mode operation of the oven for cooking roasts, pastry, etc., in which the transmission of heat by convection is assisted by means of a fan 3.2 small cavity ovens oven with the following dimensions related to the usable volume:  both width and depth < 250mm  or height < 120 mm NOTE The definition of small cavity ovens in this standard is due to the size of the artificial standard load. 3.3 multiple cavity appliances appliance that has more than one separate oven cavity in which food is cooked and which can be controlled independently, but cannot be installed separately 3.4 auxiliary electrical energy electrical energy consumption (during the brick test) of any electric components that cannot be switched off from the control panel by the user when using the oven in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions 4 List of measurements 4.1 Dimensions
Dimensions of the useful oven volume (see Clause 6). 4.2 Energy consumption and heating time Heating of the load (see Subclause 7.2). 5 General conditions for measurements 5.1 General According to good laboratory practice, before installation, it shall be checked that the appliance is free from damage and complies with 6.1.1: leakage, of EN 30-1-1:2008, EN 30-1-2:1999 or EN 30-1-4:2002, as applicable. The manufacturer's instructions regarding installation of the oven shall be followed.
This ambient temperature is measured at a point that is at the same height as the centre of the useful oven volume of the oven cavity and at a distance of 0,5 m diagonally from one of the front edges of the appliance, see Figure 1.
The measurement of the ambient temperature shall not be influenced by the oven itself or by any other appliance.

of the completely dry brick without thermocouples shall be measured within 5 min after removal from the oven and shall be noted in grams. The dry mass md shall be in accordance with the dry mass specified in Annex A. The brick shall be identified with a reference number for accurate calculation of the water absorption according to 7.2.2. Place markings 32 mm from the measuring point of the two thermocouples with steel tube and insert the thermocouples into the holes until the marking matches with the surface of the brick. The thermocouples shall be fixed to ensure that the measuring points remain at a depth of 32 mm during the whole test procedure. NOTE 1 The weighing machine should be protected from the effects of the hot brick. NOTE 2 The thermocouples may be fixed by means of a droplet of silicon glue at the surface of the brick or by other suitable means. NOTE 3 Care should be taken that the measuring point is the first contact point of the two thermowires. NOTE 4 Between test series the brick should be stored in a refrigerator, preferably not soaked with water. The brick soaking water should be kept (to reduce dissolving processes); i.e. re-use of the brick storage water. A brick that has already been soaked in water needs at least eight hours to dry out as described above. NOTE 5 Due to the porosity of the brick care should be taken that the holes of the brick are not enlarged if the thermocouples are removed and reinserted.
NOTE 6 A brick can be used for about 20 tests when handled with normal care.
5.6 Instrumentation Air temperature measurements in the empty oven are made with a thermocouple with a welded point (not with a black copper plate), class 1, type K. Room temperature measurements are made with a thermocouple, class 1, type T. NOTE 1 Other types of thermocouple may be used for the measurement of room temperatures provided they are known to provide equivalent or better accuracy and reproducibility than a type T. Temperature measurements in the load are made with two thermocouples with 1 mm steel tube diameter, class 1, according to EN 60584-2. The thermocouple shall be accurate to + 1,5 K. NOTE 2 The steel tube of the thermocouple eases the insertion of the thermocouple into the brick. See also NOTE 2 in 5.5. SIST EN 15181:2008
