1 Scope
This document describes a method which determines the electrical parameters for compatibility of cookware and induction hobs for household use. Cookware is an integral part of
the cooking system; electrical parameters can affect the cooking process regarding
the required power setting, speed of heating up, sufficient power for different cooking
processes etc.
For determining the compatibility of a cookware to an induction cooking zone and cooking area, a measurement device
and a measurement procedure is specified in this document. It allows measuring the
resistivity and/or impedance of the cookware under test (CUT) in a repeatable and reproducible way. The measured electric properties indicate the
compatibility characteristics of a cookware on an induction cooking zones and cooking area.
For determination the compatibility of an induction cooking zone or cooking area with a cookware, this document describes
the measurement how to determine the power generated by the cooking zone under test (ZUT) in combination with the selected cookware.
NOTE 1 For definitions of induction hob, induction cooking zone and cooking area EN 60350‑2 is relevant.
Further performance characteristics of hobs which are of interest to the user, like
energy consumption, heating up time or heat distribution are not a...
