The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.
solid hotplate hotplate having a closed surface which is usually constructed from cast iron with an integrated heating element.
tubular hotplate hotplate having a surface which is formed by the configuration of a tsheathed heating element in a substantially flat plane.
glass ceramic hob hob in which the heating elements are located beneath a glass ceramic surface.
induction cooking zone cooking zone on which the pan is heated by means of eddy currents.
NOTE 1 The eddy currents are induced in the bottom of the pan by the electromagnetic field ot a coil. NOTE 2 The hob surface may be of glass ceramic.
grill appliance or part of an appliance in which food is cooked by radiant heat.
oven appliance or compartment of a cooking range in which food is cooked by radiation, by natural convection, by forced-air circulation or by a combination of these heating methods.BS EN 50304 pdf download.
