Product safety plays an important role in the barbecue industry. Consumers expect products used in outdoor grilling to perform reliably and safely.
Within Europe, the EN 1860 series of standards defines requirements for barbecue appliances, solid fuels and ignition products used in outdoor grilling.
These standards cover areas such as:
- construction and safety requirements for barbecue appliances
- quality requirements for charcoal and briquettes
- safety requirements for ignition products
The purpose of these standards is to promote safety and transparency within the market. They provide manufacturers with clear technical guidelines and help ensure consistent product quality.
Technical expertise from companies active in the sector contributes to the development and improvement of these standards, reflecting the practical experience of the industry.
Standards therefore play an important role in maintaining safety and trust within the barbecue market.
