Further performance characteristics of hobs which are of interest to the user, like energy consumption, heating up time or heat distribution are not addressed. Further performance characteristics for hobs are covered in EN 60350-2. Further performance characteristics for cookware are covered in EN 12983-1 and EN 12983-2. Safety requirements are covered in IEC 60335-2-6 and IEC 60335-2-9. Appliances covered by this document can be built-in or portable induction hobs. The hob can also be a part of a cooking range.
