Overview
SIST EN 12983-2:2023/kFprA1:2025, developed by CEN, sets out the general safety and performance requirements for domestic ceramic cookware and glass lids intended for use on top of a stove, cooker, or hob. This European Standard specifically addresses the needs of users and manufacturers by clarifying safety features, testing protocols, and terminology for these commonly used kitchen articles. The scope of the document covers various aspects of hob use, including all or specific parts of cooking operations that may start on the hob and be completed in an oven.
By focusing on cookware made from ceramics and glass ceramics, including the associated glass lids, the standard seeks to ensure product durability, user safety, and reliable performance for household cooking tasks. Requirements for induction hobs are noted as being under development.
Key Topics
Material Definitions
The document clarifies what constitutes ceramic and glass ceramic materials, including updated terminology and descriptions to support industry and consumer understanding.Impact Resistance
- Cookware rims and handles must pass rigorous impact resistance testing.
- Glass lids undergo a steel ball impact test to verify robustness, limiting the risk of breakage under normal household usage.
Fragmentation Testing
- Thermally toughened (tempered) glass lids must meet particle distribution criteria on breakage, improving safety by minimizing sharp large fragments.
- The fragmentation test is not required for borosilicate glass lids, due to their inherently lower fracture risk.
Non-stick and Easy Clean Surfaces
- Surfaces marketed as non-stick or easy clean must conform to existing European standards for these properties, ensuring performance claims are reliable and verifiable.
Suitability for Hob Use
- Ceramic cookware intended for direct use on a hob is subjected to specific performance tests to ensure safety in rapid temperature changes and direct flame or heat contact.
Applications
SIST EN 12983-2:2023/kFprA1:2025 is relevant for:
- Manufacturers: Ensures consistency in design and manufacturing processes, particularly regarding safety-critical features such as impact resistance and thermal behavior of ceramic cookware and glass lids.
- Importers and Distributors: Provides a benchmark for product selection and procurement, supporting claims of compliance with European safety standards.
- Testing Laboratories: Establishes standardized test methods and references to ensure uniformity in product assessment and certification processes.
- Consumers: Offers increased confidence in the safety and performance of domestic ceramic and glass cookware purchased within Europe.
Practical applications include stovetop browning, simmering, frying, or preparing food that may be finished either on the hob or in the oven. The standard supports safe transitions between cooking methods and consistent product integrity under typical household conditions.
Related Standards
- EN 12983-1:2023: General requirements and definitions for domestic cookware (all materials).
- EN 13834:2020: Specific requirements for non-stick and easy-clean surface claims.
- EN 12150-1:2015+A1:2019: Thermally toughened safety glass testing and descriptions, referenced for glass lid fragmentation.
- ISO and CEN Standards in Cookware Safety: Many additional international and European standards further support kitchen product safety, including those for materials in contact with food.
By adhering to SIST EN 12983-2:2023/kFprA1:2025, stakeholders ensure domestic ceramic cookware and glass lids deliver reliable performance and elevated user safety across European markets, contributing to standardized quality in cookware selection and use.
