Requirements and test methods.Part 2: Solid fuels for use in barbecue app
26、liances. Requirements and test methods.Part 3: Firelighters for igniting solid fuels for use in barbecue appliances. Requirements and test methods.Part 4: Single use barbecues burning solid fuels. Requirements and test methods.This standard is Part 3 of the European Standard for appliances, solid fu
27、els and firelighters for barbecuing EN1860, which is intended to reduce the risks which may occur during and through barbecuing with solid fuels.This part should be read in conjunction with Part 1, Part 2 and Part 4.1 ScopeThis European standard specifies the safety, performance, packaging and marki
28、ng requirements including the testmethods for firelighters used to light solid fuels in barbecue and grill appliances. The standard covers firelighterssupplied as either solid, liquid, thickened liquid or gel formulations. However the use of highly flammable liquids(except in stabilised formulations
29、) is specifically excluded from the scope of this standard as their use as barbecuefirelighters is regarded as highly dangerous.2 Normative ReferencesThis European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. Thesenormative references are cited at the appr
