97.040.20 Cooking ranges, working tables, ovens and similar appliances
IEC 60705:2024 applies to microwave ovens for household and similar use, it also applies to microwave ovens with grills and combination microwave ovens.
This document defines the main performance characteristics of these appliances, which are of interest to the user, and it specifies methods for measuring these characteristics.
The manufacturer defines the primary cooking function of the appliance, microwave function or thermal heat. The primary cooking function will be measured with an existing method according to energy consumption.
If the primary cooking function is declared as a microwave function, IEC 60705 will be applied for energy consumption measurement. If the primary cooking function is declared as a thermal heat, IEC 60350-1 will be applied for energy consumption measurement. If the manufacturer does not declare the primary function, the performance of the microwave function and thermal heat is measured as far as it is possible.
There is currently no measurement method for the energy consumption for grilling and steam functions.
This document does not deal with safety requirements (see IEC 60335-2-25 [1] ).
This document does not apply to appliances incorporating thermal heat, steam function or hot steam function only. These appliances are covered by IEC 60350-1.
