Overview

SIST EN 4855-02:2026 establishes standardized methods to assess and quantify the ECO efficiency of oven equipment used in aircraft catering. Developed by the Slovenian Institute for Standardization (SIST), this standard addresses convection and steam ovens commonly installed in aircraft galleys. It details a test procedure for measuring performance characteristics, such as warm-up time and electrical energy consumption, and provides calculation methods for two critical indices: the energy consumption index (ECI) and the performance index (PI). While these indices gauge the environmental efficiency of the equipment, they do not directly reflect food quality or appearance.

Key Topics

  • Scope & Purpose: Focuses on assessing energy and performance efficiency for aircraft ovens including both convection and steam types.
  • Test Procedures: Specifies measurement and calculation steps for oven equipment, including warm-up time, standby power, and oven weight.
  • Indices for ECO Efficiency:
    • Energy Consumption Index (ECI): A dimensionless value showing how much energy is consumed in reference to a standardized norm.
    • Performance Index (PI): A comparative indicator for warm-up times, normalized against a reference value.
  • Standardized Test Medium: Utilizes a prescribed number of water-soaked thermal bricks placed in off-the-shelf aluminum casseroles to simulate typical aircraft food heating scenarios.
  • Reporting Requirements: Outlines specific requirements for documenting test results, including deviations from procedure, equipment data, environmental temperatures, and calculated indices.

Applications

  • Aircraft Catering Equipment Manufacturers: Leverage this standard to design and validate the ECO efficiency of convection and steam ovens, ensuring compliance with European regulatory and industry expectations.
  • Aircraft Operators and Airlines: Practical guide for selecting oven equipment with verified ecological and operational performance, contributing to lower in-flight energy consumption and potentially reduced environmental impact.
  • Testing Laboratories: Provides a clear, repeatable methodology for conducting accredited performance and efficiency measurements on oven equipment intended for aviation use.
  • Cabin Equipment Procurement: Assists decision-makers in comparing different ovens based on standardized metrics, supporting more sustainable and efficient galley solutions.
  • Sustainability Initiatives: Supports broader aerospace industry efforts to minimize energy consumption and environmental footprint, aligning with trends in green aviation and operational ECO efficiency.

Related Standards

  • EN 4855-01:2025 – ECO efficiency of catering equipment – General conditions: Defines the overall framework and reference conditions supporting all parts in the EN 4855 series.
  • EN IEC 60350-1 – Household electric cooking appliances: Specifies methods for measuring performance of ranges, ovens (including steam ovens), and grills; referenced for certain test media and procedures.
  • EN 4855-02:2020 (Superseded): The earlier version updated in this release, reflecting revised calculation methods and reference values.

Summary

SIST EN 4855-02:2026 delivers a harmonized, precise approach to measuring the ecological efficiency of oven equipment in aerospace catering contexts. By establishing clear test procedures and standardized calculation methods for energy and performance indices, the standard empowers manufacturers, airlines, and testing organizations to benchmark equipment, enhance sustainability, and drive operational efficiency in aircraft cabins. For organizations seeking compliance with the latest European standards and sustainable aviation practices, adherence to SIST EN 4855-02:2026 is essential.

Introduction
During aircraft operations, the food preparation in the cabin is mandatory to maintain the catering on
board. There exist different equipment types to heat up the prepared meals for the passengers in the
cabin. On the one hand meals can be heated by usage of steam (steam ovens); on the other hand it can
be heated by usage of hot and dry air (convection oven). To meet the target to determine an energy
efficiency index for aircraft oven equipment, the purpose of this document is to standardize the test
procedure and efficiency calculations for this equipment type.
