What is BS EN 60398 - EH and EPM installations performance testing about?
BS EN 60398 is an International Standard that specifies the basic test procedures, conditions, and methods for establishing the main performance parameters and the main operational characteristics of industrial installations and equipment intended for electroheating (EH) or electromagnetic processing of materials (EPM).
BS EN 60398 is applicable for the commissioning, verification of design improvements, or for energy-related tasks including benchmarking with respect to energy use or energy efficiency, establishing of an energy baseline, and labelling. Some concepts from BS EN 60398 can directly be used as key performance indicators.
Note 1: Measurements and tests that are solely used for the verification of safety requirements of equipment for EH or for EPM are outside the scope of BS EN 60398 and are covered by the IEC 60519 series.
Note 2: Detailed tests for specific types of EH or EPM equipment and installations are beyond the scope of this standard and are provided in particular test standards for EH or EPM equipment.

BS EN 60398 on EH and EPM installations performance testing is useful for:
- Manufacturers of electrical appliances
- Product development teams / innovation teams
- Testing laboratories
- Industry experts
- Engineers
- Quality control teams
Why should you use BS EN 60398 - EH and EPM installations performance testing?
BS EN 60398 provides you with the performance specifications and key operating requirements and test conditions of industrial installations and equipment used for EH and EPM.
BS EN 60398 includes the concept and material presented in IEC TS 62796 on energy efficiency dealing with the electrical and processing parts of the equipment, as well as the overall performance.
BS EN 60398 is intended as a general reference for all future test standards applicable to particular EH or EPM equipment or installations.
BS EN 60398 provides you with details on the basic provisions for testing and test conditions such as boundaries for the energy using system for testing as well as operating and environmental conditions during tests. Details about measurements and workloads have been provided in BS EN 60398. Numerical modelling, technical tests, and efficiency of installation have been discussed in BS EN 60398.
BS EN 60398 helps you to test the performance of EH and EPM installations so that you can supply high-quality, durable products to your customers.
