The energy consumption of a cavity of a domestic oven shall be measured for one standardised cycle, in a conventional mode and in a fan-forced mode, if available, by heating a standardised load soaked with water. It shall be verified that the temperature inside the oven cavity reaches the temperature setting of the thermostat and/or the oven control display within the duration of the test cycle. The energy consumption per cycle corresponding to the best performing mode (conventional mode or fan-forced mode) shall be used in the following calculations.
For each cavity of a domestic oven, the Energy Efficiency Index (EEIcavity) shall be calculated according to the following formulas:
for domestic electric ovens:
for domestic gas ovens:
Where:
=
Energy Efficiency Index for each cavity of a domestic oven, rounded to the first decimal place,
=
Standard Energy Consumption (electricity) required to heat a standardised load in a cavity of a domestic electric heated oven during a cycle, expressed in kWh, rounded to the second decimal place,
=
Standard Energy Consumption required to heat a standardised load in a cavity of a domestic gas-fired oven during a cycle, expressed in MJ, rounded to the second decimal place,
=
Volume of the cavity of the domestic oven in litres (L), rounded to the nearest integer,
=
Energy Consumption required to heat a standardised load in a cavity of a domestic electric heated oven during a cycle, expressed in kWh, rounded to the second decimal place,
=
Energy Consumption required to heat a standardised load in a gas-fired cavity of a domestic oven during a cycle, expressed in MJ, rounded to the second decimal place.
