1.1This test method evaluates the energy consumption and cooking performance of conveyor broilers. The food service operator can use this evaluation to select a conveyor broiler and understand its energy consumption.

1.2This test method is applicable to gas, electric, and hybrid gas/electric conveyorized broilers. This test method covers both units with continuously operating conveyors and batch-style units with intermittently operating conveyors.

1.3The conveyor broiler can be evaluated with respect to the following (where applicable):

1.3.1Energy input rate (see 10.2),

1.3.2Preheat energy consumption and time (see 10.3),

1.3.3Idle energy rate and temperature uniformity (see 10.4),

1.3.4Pilot energy rate (if applicable) (see 10.5), and

1.3.5Cooking energy efficiency, cooking uniformity and production capacity (see 10.8 and 10.9).

1.4The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.

1.5This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

1.6This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
