What is BS EN 4855‑02 about?
BS EN 4855‑02 is the second part of the multi-series of European standards on ECO efficiency of catering equipment in the aerospace series.
The purpose of BS EN 4855‑02 is to standardize the test procedure and efficiency calculations for these equipment types. BS EN 4855‑02 describes a test procedure to identify performance characteristics and a weight rating of convection and steam ovens used on aircraft. Furthermore, BS EN 4855‑02 describes the calculation procedure to determine an energy consumption index and a performance index.
Who is BS EN 4855‑02 for?
BS EN 4855‑02 on ECO efficiency of catering oven equipment in aircraft is useful for:
- Oven equipment manufacturers
- Oven equipment testers
- Catering professionals
- Aviation hospitality professionals
- Safety and health departments
Why should you use BS EN 4855‑02?
During aircraft operations, food preparation in the cabin is mandatory to maintain the catering on board.
BS EN 4855‑02 specifies test procedures to improve the performance characteristics of catering oven equipment installed in an aircraft to provide food and ensure eco-efficiency of catering in aircraft. BS EN 4855‑02 also provides efficient calculation methods to determine the energy consumption index for aircraft oven equipment.
BS EN 4855‑02 guidelines enable you to produce oven equipment that consumes less electric energy and ensures reduced expulsion of hazardous elements and improved durability.
