Professional boiling pans
Download				Description
	Energy efficiency	Core	Technical specification
Criterion information Energy-efficient industrial kitchen equipment ensures low energy consumption, thereby reducing the environmental impact through use. Criterion text Boiling pans shall have at least 90% energy efficiency in accordance with the European Federation of Catering Equipment Manufactures' (EFCEM) Energy Efficiency Standard for boiling pans or an equivalent standard.
	Energy efficiency	Advanced	Technical specification
Criterion information Energy-efficient industrial kitchen equipment ensures low energy consumption, thereby reducing the environmental impact through use. Criterion text Boiling pans shall have at least 93% energy efficiency in accordance with the European Federation of Catering Equipment Manufactures' (EFCEM) Energy Efficiency Standard for boiling pans or an equivalent standard.
	Insulation material	Core	Technical specification
Criterion information Insulated products require less energy. Insulation materials that have as low a greenhouse gas effect as possible are desired. Criterion text All equipment that provides cooling or heating shall be insulated. With regards to refrigeration equipment, the gases used in the manufacture of insulation materials shall have a maximum global warming potential (GWP value) of ≤10.
	Cleaning tools	Core	Technical specification
Criterion information The use of cleaning tools (mounted in the pan) makes for considerable energy savings, since only a few percent of the volume of the pan needs to be filled with water to be heated during cleaning. Criterion text Boiling pans shall be delivered with a cleaning tool.
	Food temperature sensor	Core	Award criteria
Criterion information A food/core temperature sensor ensures stable temperature in the food without adjustements. This minimizes energy consumption of the boiling pan. Criterion text In order to receive [points/discounts] during tender evaluation, boiling pans shall be equipped with food/core temperature sensors or the equivalent in order to allow the pan to be used for energy-efficient cooking by controlling the temperature of the food.
	Noise level	Core	Technical specification
Criterion information A good aural environment contributes to the well-being of the user. By setting requirements relating to the noise level of equipment, the aural environment of an industrial kitchen is improved. Criterion text The sound pressure level of boiling pans shall not exceed 60dB(A) according to EN ISO 11201:2010 or an equivalent standard. The sound pressure level shall be measured where the distance to the boiling pan is 1 meter, when the boiling pan makes most noise (with the mixer running).
	Training for environmentally sound use of industrial kitchen equipment	Core	Special contract terms
Criterion information When equipment is used properly, the consumption of energy, water and chemicals is reduced, and it ensures a long service life for the equipment. Criterion text [In connection with installation or at another time determined by the contracting organisation], the supplier shall conduct at least one training session for kitchen staff that covers how the industrial kitchen equipment shall be used and maintained in an environmentally friendly fashion in order to save resources such as energy, water and chemicals in the kitchen. The supplier shall also provide training material that the purchaser can use when giving training to new personnel. The training material shall be made accessible to kitchen staff with various functional capacities, such as in the form of videos or text that is easy to read or in audio format.
	Requirements under the ILO core conventions	Core	Special contract terms
Criterion information The contract terms on the basic level aim to ensure that the supplier has effective risk management regarding workers' rights under the ILO core conventions in its own operation as well as in the supply chain regarding subcontractors who are directly involved in the performance of the contract.

The terms regarding workers’ rights are called “the Terms” hereafter. In the event of the core conventions of the ILO are in conflict with national law, the supplier shall take reasonable measures to ensure compliancy with the international regulations. The obligations concerns workers when they perform work within the frame of the contract. The supplier shall, according to item 2, ensure that the Terms are fulfilled by hired subcontractors that directly contribute to the performance of the contract, regardless of the number of intermediaries. In addition, the supplier shall ensure that these subcontractors participate in the follow-up, according to item 3. The obligations concerns work carried out under such conditions where Swedish labour law is not applicable. 2. Policies and routines To fulfil the obligations under item 1, the supplier shall take measures to prevent and manage any deviations from the Terms according to item 2.1-2.6 below. The measures shall be documented and applied throughout the entire contract period in their own operation and the operation of any subcontractors who directly contribute to the performance of the contract, regardless of the number of intermediaries. At the start of the contract the supplier shall have: 2.1 adopted a commonly accessible policy, adopted by the highest management including a commitment to respect the Terms, 2.2. adopted routines to convey their commitment to respect the Terms in their own operation and in the supply chain, 2.3 appointed a manager at the highest management level, responsible for compliance with the Terms, 2.4 adopted routines to regularly carry out risk analyses, i.e. to identify and prioritise current and potential risks of deviation from the Terms, as well as mapping the supply chain with special regard to high risk operations, 2.5 adopted routines for regular follow-up of the Terms compliance, and 2.6 adopted routines to immediate action to prevent and limit deviations from the Terms, and to make amendments to identified deviations. The measures shall be taken in accordance with the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, or the equivalent. 3. Follow-up [The contracting authority] has the right to follow-up that the supplier fulfils its obligations. The follow-up may be carried out in different steps; self-assessment and audit. 3.1 Self-assessment Upon request from [the contracting authority] the supplier shall, [within six (6) weeks/other time period, specified by the contracting authority] from the receipt of the request, report compliance with the Terms in writing. The account can be submitted by form, according to appendix 1: self-assessment questionnaire. The supplier is expected to provide the information requested in the appendix. *3.2 Audit* The supplier shall enable [the contracting authority] to perform audits, on their own or through a representative, with the supplier and/or its subcontractors to ensure that the supplier fulfils the obligations according to item 1 and complies with the Terms.
