Single Handle Cookware Torque Resistance Test Equipment EN 12983-1 Product Information The handle torque resistance test apparatus is engineered to meet
EN 12983-1:2023 clause 7.8 and Appendix C, figure C.1 requirements.
This equipment performs comprehensive torque resistance testing on
cookware handles, ensuring that torsion deformation in all
directions does not exceed 10° and does not compromise handle
functionality. The test verifies that fasteners remain secure after
testing, providing reliable evaluation of handle torque resistance
capacity. Technical Specifications | Component | Specification |

Operation Procedure - Position the apparatus on a level, flat surface
- Conduct preliminary heat resistance testing on samples according to
Appendix B requirements
- Install handle clamps at the midpoint of the handle length and
secure them
- Place the cookware with handle holders and balance bar on the
tiltable test bench, adjust the sample frame to securely lock the
cookware, then adjust bench tilt to level the balance bar
- Hang weights on the left side of the balance bar, record the angle
gauge reading after 30 seconds of stability, then hang weights on
the right side and record the stable angle reading
- After testing, inspect the sample for deformation or loosening
- Document test conclusions based on results
