appliances designed for the utilization of gas. There are risks of injury to persons inherent in some
appliances that, if completely eliminated, would defeat the utility of the appliance. The provisions in this
Standard are intended to reduce such risks while retaining the normal function of the appliance.

Nothing in this standard is to be considered in any way as indicating a measure of quality beyond
compliance with the provisions it contains. It is designed to allow compliance of household cooking gas
appliances, the safety construction and performance of which may exceed the various provisions
specified herein. In its preparation, recognition has been given to possibilities of improvement through
ingenuity of design. As technical advances take place, revisions may become necessary. When they are
believed desirable, recommendations or suggestions should be forwarded to the Chairman of Accredited
Standards Committee Z21/83, 8501 East Pleasant Valley Road, Cleveland, Ohio 44131. A proposal form
is provided in the back of this document.

Safe and satisfactory operation of household cooking gas appliances depends to a great extent upon its
proper installation, use and maintenance. It should be installed, as applicable, in accordance with the
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54,; the (U.S.) Manufactured Home Construction and Safety
Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280, or when such standard is not applicable, Manufactured Home
Installations, ANSI/NCSBCS A225.1 or the Standard for Manufactured Home Installations, Sites, and
Communities, ANSI/NFPA 501A, manufacturers' installation instructions, and local municipal building
codes.

Users of this American National Standard are advised that the devices/products/activities within its scope
may be subject to regulation at the Federal state or local level. Users are strongly urged to investigate this
possibility through appropriate channels. In the event of a conflict with this standard, the Federal, state or
local regulation should be followed.

CAUTION NOTICE: This American National Standard may be revised or withdrawn at any time. The
procedures of the American National Standards Institute, Inc., require that action be taken to reaffirm,
revise or withdraw this standard no later than five (5) years from the date of approval. Purchasers of
American National Standards may receive current information on all standards by calling or writing the
American National Standards Institute, Inc., 11 West 42nd Street, New York, N.Y. 10036, (212) 642-
4900.

EFFECTIVE DATE: An organization using this standard for product evaluation as a part of its certification
program will normally establish the date by which all products certified by that organization should
comply with this standard.
History Of The Development Of The Standard
For Household Cooking Gas Appliances

The first definite step toward the preparation of gas range specifications appears to have been taken by
The Philadelphia Gas Works Company in 1903, after several years' observation had indicated the
desirability of preparing general specifications which would enable manufacturers to build their ranges to
meet certain specific requirements.

In Volume 4 of the 1909 Proceedings of the American Gas Institute there is a report of the Committee on
Utilization of Gas Appliances which includes the specifications in use by two large purchasers of gas
ranges. In the 1912 proceedings: (1) specifications for gas ranges were submitted for approval which had
been prepared jointly by the Committee of the American Gas Institute and a similar Committee of the
National Commercial Gas Association, and (2) recommendation was made that a standing committee be
appointed to continue the standardization and simplification of gas appliance specifications.

These specifications were revised several times between 1914 and 1918. In June 1918 the American Gas
Institute and the National Commercial Gas Association amalgamated to form the American Gas
Association. During 1919 a Committee on Standardization of Gas Appliances was formed by the
American Gas Association to carry out revisions of existing gas appliance specifications.

In 1925 the Subcommittee on Approval Requirements for Domestic Gas Ranges was formed for the
purpose of revising existing standards of the American Gas Association and placing them in a form
adaptable to industry's needs and readily capable of enforcement by the newly created Testing
Laboratories of the American Gas Association. The first American Gas Association Approval Requirements
for Gas Ranges were released to the gas industry in 1926. Revised editions were published in 1928 and
1930.

In September 1930, the American Gas Association Approval Requirements Committee became Sectional
Committee Z21 of the American Standards Association. Consequently, the Subcommittee on Approval
Requirements for Domestic Gas Ranges became a subcommittee of the Z21 Committee.

During 1930 and 1931, general revision and enlargement of the standards were undertaken by the
subcommittee and the Z21 Committee. The resulting standard, the most comprehensive ever issued for
gas ranges, was submitted to the American Standards Association for adoption and accepted in 1932.

Revisions to this standard reflecting the latest developments and improvements were approved by the
subcommittee during 1932. This draft standard was adopted by the Z21 Committee at its May, 1933
meeting and approved as American Standard by the American Standards Association in 1933. Following
this procedure, seven subsequent editions of this standard were approved by the American Standards
Association from 1935 to 1955.

Up to this point, the domestic gas range standard (Z21.1) covered both free-standing and built-in
cooking units; however, in view of the rapid development of built-in units (formerly classified as recessed
range sections) as well as other considerations as to the testing of these types of units, it was deemed
advisable to have a separate standard devoted to each type of appliance. Consequently, the standard was
divided into two volumes: the fourteenth edition, Volume I, Free-Standing Units (Z21.1.1), and the first
edition, Volume II, Built-In Domestic Cooking Units (Z21.1.2), which were approved as American
Standard by the American Standards Association in 1956. New editions of Z21.1.1 and Z21.1.2 were
approved in 1959.

ii
As a result of the use of domestic gas ranges by the trailer coach and mobile home industry, the
standards were modified to cover the special cons-truction and performance features deemed necessary
for ranges for installation in such vehicles. These revisions were included in first addenda to the standards
approved as American Standards in 1960. Subsequent editions of both standards were approved in 1961
and 1964.

Continued progress in the development of domestic gas ranges prompted further revision of the

standards. In the first addenda (Z21.1.1a-1965 and Z21.1.2a-1965) issued to the seventeenth edition of
Z21.1.1 and the fourth edition of Z21.1.2, provisions covering outdoor gas broilers were incorporated.

In August 1966, the American Standards Association was reconstituted as the United States of America
Standards Institute. As a result, the eighteenth edition of Z21.1.1 and the fifth edition of Z21.1.2, were
approved as USA Standards by the United States of America Standards Institute in 1967.

In October 1969, the United States of America Standards Institute was renamed the American National
Standards Institute, Inc.

As a result of continued progress and development of domestic cooking equipment designs plus the
increasing similarity of some designs of free-standing and built-in ranges, the subcommittee concluded
that reorganization and expansion of the domestic gas range standards was needed to adequately cover
various types of cooking equipment. Accordingly, three draft standards were distributed for review and
comment during September 1970: coverage for outdoor broilers contained in the existing standards, plus
added coverage for outdoor top cooking units, was combined into a draft standard for outdoor cooking
gas appliances; coverage for appliances for use with liquefied petroleum gases and for installation in
travel trailers, as contained in the existing standards, was combined into a separate draft standard for
recreational vehicle cooking appliances; and the remainder of Z21.1.1 and Z21.1.2 was combined into a
draft standard for household cooking gas appliances.

The nineteenth edition of the former domestic gas range standards, Z21.1.1 and Z21.1.2, retitled and
redesignated the American National Standard for Household Cooking Gas Appliances, Z21.1, was
approved as American National Standard in 1972.

Further revisions in line with developments in gas utilization, including transfer of the remaining coverage
for appliances for recreational vehicle installation to American National Standard for Recreational Vehicle
Cooking Gas Appliances, Z21.57, were incorporated in the twentieth edition of the household cooking
gas appliance standard which was approved as American National Standard by the American National
Standards Institute, Inc., in 1974.

The twenty-first, twenty-second, twenty-third and twenty-fourth, twenty-fifth, twenty-sixth, and twenty-
seventh editions of the household cooking gas appliance standards were approved as American National
Standards by the American National Standards Institute, Inc., in 1978, 1982, 1987, 1990, 1993, 1996,
and 2000 respectively.

Following the procedures outlined above, further revisions to this standard, Z21.1, were developed in line
with industry developments. This, the twenty-eighth edition of the household cooking gas appliance
standard, was approved as an American National Standard by the American National Standards Institute,
Inc. on March 14, 2005.

1.3 Appliance Structure


1.3.1 The materials used and the construction and assembly of the body of a floor-supported unit
shall be such that the application of a diagonal force of 350 lb (1.56 kN) applied from front
to rear, and a diagonal force of 275 lb (1.22 kN) from side to side, will not result in a
temporary deflection in excess of 0.1 in (2.5 mm) in the direction and plane of the
horizontal component of the diagonal force.

Method of Test

Compliance with this provision shall be determined by two tests as follows:

a. Application of a diagonal force of 350 lb (1.56 kN) to the uppermost member of the
front or back of the appliance body proper, or body frame, relative to the base
(Figure 1, Example of Apparatus for Determining Strength of Floor Supported Unit
Bodies, as Set-Up for Testing End Frames, illustrates an arrangement of the apparatus
for conducting this test); and

b. Application of a diagonal force of 275 lb (1.22 kN) to the uppermost member of the
side of the appliance body proper, or body frame, relative to the base.

Sections or panels, such as backguards, which do not contribute to the rigidity of the main
structural frame, may be removed for the purpose of this test.

The legs and ornamental finishing strips shall be removed and the body of the appliance
shall be firmly supported on wooden beams resting on the floor or some equally stable
foundation.

Rigid angle-iron beams 3 x 3 x 5/16 in (76.2 x 76.2 x 7.9 mm) shall be placed on diagonally
opposite edges of the appliance body proper, or body frame, in such a manner that the
upper beam is along the edge of the uppermost member of the body and the lower beam is
on the edge of the base of the appliance diagonally opposite the upper beam and parallel to
it. For example, in applying test "-b" to a cabinet type unit (see Figure 2, Typical Floor-
Supported Cooking Units) having either a single or double oven, the upper beam should be
placed along the edge of the uppermost member of the body proper on either side of the
appliance. In applying test "-a," the upper beam should be placed along the uppermost
edge of the body proper, or body frame, of either the front or rear of the appliance,
depending on whichever is more convenient.

6
Precautions should be taken in placing both beams to arrange them as symmetrically as
possible with respect to the edge of the body or frame along which the components of the
diagonal force will be applied. When the design of the appliance is of an unusual nature,
making it difficult to apply the test exactly as prescribed herein, the arrangement of the
apparatus shall be left to the discretion of the testing agency.

Each end of the upper beam shall be connected to the corresponding end of the lower

beam by a drawbar in series with a spring scale graduated in no greater than 5 lb (8.9 N)
intervals.

The tension on each drawbar shall be increased until the readings of the two scales are
equal and their sum is equal to the diagonal force to be applied.

Deflection readings shall be made with two Ames dials or similar instruments graduated to
0.001 in (0.025 mm), located respectively on the extreme ends of the uppermost edge of
the appliance body opposite and in the same horizontal plane as the horizontal component
of the applied diagonal force.

Figure 1, Example of Apparatus for Determining Strength of Floor-Supported Unit Bodies, as


Set-Up for Testing End Frames shows the placement of the Ames dials when applying test
"-a." A corresponding location of these instruments should be selected for test "-b."

The temporary deflection shall be considered the average of the readings of the two
instruments and shall in no case exceed 0.1 in (2.5 mm).

1.3.2 Base frames, front frames and top frames, or their equivalent, when subjected to a load of
300 lb (136 kg) applied for a period of 5 minutes, shall not show:

a. Breakage or permanent damage to any part; or

b. A maximum permanent deformation in excess of 0.02 in (0.51 mm).

Method of Test

Removable utensil supports shall be removed during this test.

If the cooking top is not a structural member, it shall be removed and the load applied to
the top structural or frame members.

Application of the load shall be made over a width of approximately 4 in (102 mm) and a
depth approximately that of the cooking top. The load shall be placed as close as possible to
the center of the top of the appliance and shall not be applied closer than 1.0 inch (25.4
mm) to the front and back of the appliance.

1.3.3 Collars around burner or valve stem or other similar openings, on an appliance designed to
have an exterior surface applied using materials supplied by the installer, shall be of
sufficient height to accommodate the surfacing material contemplated by the manufacturer,
assuming normal procedures for applying such material. If the contemplated surfacing
material is ceramic tile, collars shall be at least 11/8 in (28.6 mm) in height.

Such collars shall be designed so they will support aeration bowls, valve stem cover plates,
etc., which are intended to rest on them, and shall prevent such members from resting
upon the surface intended to be applied by the installer.

7
1.3.4 Drop doors, when fully open, shall remain in position.

1.3.5 A broiler drawer, when subjected to a load of 50 lb (22.7 kg) uniformly applied for a period
of 5 minutes without impact along a strip 4 in (102 mm) wide and the full width of the
drawer equidistant from the face of the appliance and outer edge of the drawer when fully
open, shall not show:

Licensed to/Autorisé à Raymond Callahan, BSH Home Appliances Corporation, on/le 10/20/2005. Single user license only. Storage, distribution or use on network prohibited./Permis d'utilisateur simple seulement. Le stockage, la distribution ou l'utilisation sur le réseau est interdit.

If the appliance employs a component(s), such as a solid state device, that can be damaged
by the dielectric potential(s) specified in the provision, the point of connection of this
component(s) to the chassis ground shall be disconnected for the purpose of this test in
order to eliminate the likelihood of component damage while still retaining representative
dielectric stress of the circuit.

During conduct of the dielectric withstand tests, a 500 volt-ampere or larger transformer,
having an essentially sinusoidal output voltage which can be varied, shall be used. The
applied potential shall be increased gradually from zero until the required test voltage is
reached and shall be held at that value for 1 minute. The use of a 500 volt-ampere or larger
transformer is not necessary if the high potential testing equipment used maintains the
specified high potential voltage at the appliance during the test.

a. An appliance shall be capable of withstanding, for 1 minute without breakdown, the


application of a 60 hertz potential between high-voltage live parts and dead-metal
parts, and between live parts of high- and low-voltage circuits. The test potential

b. A low-voltage circuit shall be capable of withstanding, for 1 minute without


breakdown, the application of a 60 cycle alternating potential of 500 volts applied
between uninsulated low-voltage live-metal parts of opposite polarity (with contacts,
if any, closed), and between uninsulated low-voltage live-metal parts and the
enclosure and grounded dead-metal parts.

The dielectric withstand test between low-voltage parts of opposite polarity need not
be conducted on the complete assembly if the components have been separately
subjected to this test condition.

The arrangement of the test circuit shall be such that if the dielectric material breaks
down a positive signal will be obtained, rather than depending upon a visual
inspection of the material.

1.27.29 Electrical motors, such as provided for clocks and rotisseries, shall be designed for
continuous duty and shall be provided with overcurrent protection in accordance with the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, and shall be protected with temperature- or current-
sensitive devices or temperature- and current-sensitive devices which will prevent motor
winding temperatures from exceeding those specified in Table VII, Maximum Allowable
Motor Winding Temperatures, °F (°C). If the impedance of the motor windings is sufficient
to prevent winding temperatures in open motors or enclosure temperatures on totally
enclosed motors of over 302°F (150°C) with the rotor locked, no additional motor
protection is required, but the motor shall be marked that it is impedance protected. The
marking provision shall not apply to clock or timer motors. The above tests may be
conducted using the resistance method for determining temperature rise, at the option of
the manufacturer submitting the equipment.

with the valve controlling that burner in the full "on" position, unless there is a light position
used in conjunction with an electric ignition system, in which case the light position shall be
used.

The gas from a burner which is designed for ignition from another burner of the same
burner assembly shall ignite before the flames of the burner from which ignition occurs
become extinguished.

2.6.3 Ignition of gas at a thermostatically controlled "on" and "off" type burner shall occur within
4 seconds after a flow rate of 500 Btu/hr (147 W) is available at the burner ports.

Method of Test

This test shall be conducted under Test Condition 1 in Table X, Gas Pressure and Input Rate
Conditions for Use in the Various Performance Tests. On an appliance for use with natural,
manufactured and mixed gases, or natural and mixed gases, this test need be conducted
with test Gas A only.

A flowmeter shall be connected to the appliance manifold. A standard utensil, as described


in 2.11.4, uncovered and containing approximately 1 lb (0.45 kg) of water, shall be placed
on the burner. The thermostat dial shall be set a point above the 212°F (100°C) dial
marking. After the water has come to a boil, the thermostat dial shall be set at the 200°F
(93.5°C) dial marking so that flow to the main burner is shut off. The flowmeter reading
shall then be recorded as the pilot flow rate. When gas again starts to flow through the
main burner section the flowmeter shall be observed continuously. The gas at the main
burner shall ignite within 4 seconds after flow into the main burner section reaches 500
Btu/hr (147 W). Five determinations shall be made and the average taken as the ignition
time.

2.7 Ignition Systems


The following tests shall be conducted on oven, broiler, combination oven-broiler or other
burners in enclosed compartments under Test Conditions 1, 2 and 3 in Table X, Gas
Pressure and Input Conditions for Use in the Various Performance Tests, unless otherwise
specified. An appliance for use with natural gas shall also comply with these provisions
under the test condition specified in 2.4.2. An appliance for use with manufactured gas shall
also comply with these provisions under the test conditions specified in 2.4.3.

conducted with oven and broiler doors open and closed, and with any combination of other
burners in operation.

2.7.3 Reignition of the gas at the burner after gas at the main burner has momentarily been
interrupted shall occur within 4 seconds after gas is available at the burner ports.

Method of Test

The manual gas valve controlling the burner or burner assembly to be tested shall be turned
from its closed position to the open position to obtain the rated input specified by the
manufacturer and left in this position until ignition occurs. If the appliance is not
constructed with a manual valve which controls gas flow to the individual burner under test,
then one shall be installed in the gas supply line to the appliance. The gas valve shall be
turned off as soon as ignition has occurred, except that a burner served by a pilot equipped
with a pilot igniter shall be allowed to remain in operation for 10 minutes, after which the
valve shall be turned off. Immediately after all burner flames have been extinguished, the
valve shall again be turned to its rated input position. Ignition shall be effected within 4
seconds after gas is available at the burner ports without objectionable noise or concussion.

69
2.7.4 An automatic ignition device used in connection with a thermostatically controlled oven

At the end of the prescribed heat-up period, the appliance shall be shut off and the
tests specified above repeated, except that the main burner shall be allowed to
operate 1 minute between each successive trial.

Failure of the igniter or direct ignition system to ignite the pilot gas or main burner
gas in any one trial in either of the above series of tests shall be considered as
noncompliance with this provision.

2.7.6 Time for the gas to be admitted to the burner after the valve has been turned on shall not
exceed 90 seconds. For electric ignition systems, tests shall be conducted at the appliance
rating plate voltage.

2.7.7 Time for ignition to be proved after the pilot has been ignited shall not exceed 90 seconds.
For purposes of this test the manufacturer's specified maximum flame-establishing period for
the ignition system shall be used. For igniters, these time limits shall be determined at the
appliance rating plate voltage.

2.7.8 The time required to shut off the gas supply to a burner following loss of the supervised
flame shall not exceed 90 seconds when the following test is conducted under Test
Condition 1 in Table X, Gas Pressure and Input Conditions for Use in the Various
Performance Tests. For purposes of this test the control manufacturer's specified maximum
flame failure response time for the automatic gas ignition system shall be used.

Method of Test

The gas to the pilot of the burner being tested shall be ignited.

If the ignition means is reactivated, it shall be reenergized in not more than 0.8 second
following flame outage, and the ignition means shall reignite the main burner gas without
flame flashout or damage to the appliance. If the ignition means is reactivated, the control
manufacturer's specified maximum flame failure reignition time or minimum recycle time for
the automatic gas ignition system shall be used.

On an appliance where all air for combustion is supplied by mechanical means, the ignition
means may be reactivated after a purge period sufficient to provide a minimum of four air
changes of the combustion chamber and flue passages.

a. An oven burner shall be tested with the oven thermostat set at the full open position
of the thermostat dial. After the temperature at the center of the oven has reached
475°F (246°C), as measured by an indicating or recording potentiometer and
thermocouples installed according to the method prescribed in 2.11, Thermostats,
the thermostat shall be set to maintain this temperature. The burner shall then be
operated for 1 hour and the test started.

71
b. A separate broiler burner shall be tested with the broiler burner valve turned to its full
open position. After the broiler temperature has reached 600°F (315.5°C), as
measured according to the method prescribed in 2.14, Broiler Temperature, the

After the applicable time periods prescribed above have elapsed, gas to the appliance
shall be shut off and the time required to shut off the gas supply to the burner(s)
noted.

2.7.9 The pilot shall effect ignition of the gas at the main burner when the gas supply to the pilot
is reduced to a point where the flame is just sufficient to keep the gas supply from being
shut off, or just above the point of flame extinction, whichever represents the higher pilot
gas rate. A pilot which becomes extinguished after having completed main burner gas
ignition is considered as complying with this provision. If the pilot is extinguished by the
main burner gas flow without igniting it, additional tests shall be made at successively
greater pilot inputs until acceptable ignition is accomplished without the creation of an
unsafe condition at any input.

This test shall be repeated (1) on the pilot(s) serving the burner(s) in a single-duty oven with
the compartment temperature maintained at 400°F (204.5°C), and (2) on the pilot(s)
serving the burner(s) for a separate broiler or a combination oven-broiler unit with the
compartment temperature maintained at 500°F (260°C).

a. Single-Flame Pilot Burners (Pilot burners which produce a single flame with
substantially uniform contour under turndown conditions.)

The pilot shall effect ignition of the gas within 4 seconds from the time gas is
admitted to the main burner when the pilot gas supply is reduced to an amount just
sufficient to keep the gas from being shut off, or just above the point of flame
extinction, whichever represents the higher pilot gas rate.

A flame can be considered as being equivalent to a substantially uniform contour


flame if its deviation from uniform contour is occasioned by a flame baffle(s) or
channel(s).

b. Multiflame Pilot Burners (Pilot burners which produce a flame(s) with substantial
variation in contour under turndown conditions.)

The pilot shall effect ignition of the gas within 4 seconds from the time gas is
admitted to the main burner when all the pilot burner ports except those for heating
the thermal element are blocked, and the pilot gas supply is reduced to an amount
just sufficient to keep the gas from being shut off, or just above the point of flame
extinction, whichever represents the higher pilot gas rate.

c. Recycling Pilot Burners

In the case of a pilot which operates every time the main gas is turned on or off,
either manually or by automatic controls, the ignition flame shall provide ignition of
the gas within 4 seconds from the time gas is admitted to the main burner when the
gas supply to the pilot burner is just sufficient to keep the gas from being shut off.

72

Temperature Scales And Conversions
The unit of temperature in the International System of Units (SI) is the kelvin (K), but it is generally
accepted practice to express temperature differences in terms of degrees Celsius (°C) because the degree
intervals are identical. The term "centigrade" was abandoned in 1948 by the General Conference on
Weights and Measures but in fact is still in common use. The accepted abbreviation for centigrade is also
°C and for all practical purposes the degree intervals of centigrade, Celsius and kelvin, are identical.

Many temperature measurements are still made in terms of degrees Fahrenheit (°F). Although a formal
definition of the Fahrenheit scale does not exist, it is based on:

a. The freezing (ice) point of water = 32°F

b. The boiling point of water under standard pressure conditions = 212°F

c. The formula for absolute temperature, 5/9 (°F-32) = °C

d. The formula for "temperature rise," 5/9 °F = °C
