Overview

The scope of requirements complies with DIN EN 60704-1 with the following addition: These Particular Requirements apply to ranges, ovens, steam ovens, grills and microwave ovens for household and similar use. This document does not apply to hobs. This document does not apply to appliances or parts of appliances that use gas energy. Requirements for the declaration of noise emission values are not within the scope of this standard. The standard differs from DIN EN 60704-2-10:2012-08 as follows: a) alignment with the fourth edition of IEC 60704-1:2021; b) alignment with IEC 60350-1:2023 regarding the definitions and settings; c) introduction of the measurement of the steam function; d) revision of settings and test parameters. In general, this document serves to determine the noise level. The results of noise measurements are used for numerous purposes, such as noise declaration and comparing the noise emissions of a specific device with those of other devices in the same product family. In other cases the results are used as a basis for technical measures in the development phase of new devices or for deciding on sound insulation measures. In any case, it is important to specify procedures with known accuracy so that the results of measurements from different laboratories can be compared.
