BS EN 12983-1 Cookware Testing Equipment For Handle Fatigue Testing
Standards for Cookware Handle Fatigue Tester:
The design of the handle fatigue resistance test apparatus of
cookware complies with BS EN 12983-1:2020 clause 7.6 and Appendix
E.
Product information for Cookware Handle Fatigue Tester:
Used for fatigue test of cooker handles. The handle assembly shall
withstand 15,000 cycles without permanent deformation or loosening
of the handle or connecting parts. Deformations from the end up to
5% of the total length can be ignored without compromising safety
and performance.

Use method for Cookware Handle Fatigue Tester:
1. First, place the instrument in a level place on a flat table.
2. Test the specimen for resistance to heating in advance according
to BS EN 12983-1 Annex B.
3. Grip the handle of the cooker with a suitable clamp.
4. adjust the "angle adjustment knob," so that the bottom of the
cooker and the rising platform plane parallel, adjust the "lifting
hand wheel," so that the rising platform plane from the bottom of
the cooker 1mm. If some cookers are very short, and the lifting
platform is more than 1mm from the bottom of the cooker after
lifting to the highest position, the operator should remove the
plane of the lifting platform, increase the raising rod to raise
the lifting platform, and then install the plane of the lifting
platform.
5. Place a 5mm thick rubber pad between the surface of the lift
platform and the bottom of the cooker.
6. Place a weight that simulates the weight of the water into the
cooker.
Set the counter to 150 × 100 (coefficient), press the "start"
button, rotate the "speed control" button, so that the tachometer
shows 25, the equipment automatically drives the cooker to
reciprocate at a speed of 25 times / minute, and when it reaches
15000 times, the equipment automatically stops.
8. At the end of the test, check the cooker handle for permanent
damage and the fasteners for looseness.
9. Draw conclusions after testing.
