Title: Test Procedure for Cooking Products | |
Abstract:
In this rulemaking DOE is considering amendments to its test procedure for all conventional electric cooking tops. DOE will consider incorporating by reference the relevant selections from EN 60350-2:2013 Household electric cooking appliances Part 2: Hobs Methods for measuring performance (EN 60350-2:2013). DOE is also considering revisions to its procedures for testing non-circular electric surface units, electric surface units with flexible concentric cooking zones, and full-surface induction cooking tops based on EN 60350-2:2013. Furthermore, DOE will consider extending the test methods in EN 60350-2:2013 to measure the energy consumption of gas cooking tops by correlating test equipment diameter to burner input rate, including input rates that exceed 14,000 British thermal units per hour (Btu/h). DOE will also consider modifying the calculations of conventional cooking top annual energy consumption and integrated annual energy consumption to account for the proposed water-heating test method. DOE will consider incorporating by reference test structures from American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Z21.1-2010, American National Standard For Household Cooking Gas Appliances and clarifying the number and type of racks used during active mode testing of conventional ovens and ranges in order to standardize the installation conditions under which cook tops are tested. DOE will also consider minor technical clarifications to the gas heating value correction and other grammatical changes to the regulatory text in appendix I that do not alter the substance of the existing test methods. With regard to conventional ovens, DOE proposes to repeal the regulatory provisions establishing the test procedure for conventional ovens. The Second Supplemental Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, published on August 22, 2016 at 81 FR 57374 is reported under RIN 1904-AC71. |
