scope:

This Recommendation applies to electro-heating installations comprising industrial induction furnaces with submerged channels for the melting of metals and keeping them molten, operating at mains frequency. The object of this Recommendation is to standardize test methods to enable the determination of the essential parameters and technical characteristics of electro-heating installations comprising the furnaces indicated above. The Recommendation does not contain a mandatory list of test, and is not restrictive. Test may be selected from the proposed list of test as required for the characterization and evaluation of a furnace. If necessary, additional test may be carried out, preferably in accordance with the standards in use in the country concerned.
