——The "Basic requirements" are deleted (see 4.1 of 2010 edition);
——The definition and requirement of "Evaluating values of energy conservation" are deleted (see 3.2 and 4.7 of 2010 edition);
——The calculation formula of efficiency for microwave ovens is moved to the text (see chapter 4 and A.2.2 of 2010 edition);
- The energy efficiency grades are adjusted from 5 energy efficiency grades in the original standard to 3 energy efficiency grades (see 4.1, and 4.2 of 2010 edition);
——The expression of the heating time (t) in the calculation formula of efficiency for microwave ovens (see 4.2) and the method for determination of the heating time (see A.2.1) are defined;
——The method for determination of the geometrical center of the microwave oven chamber is added (see B.3);
——The test methods for off mode power and standby mode power are revised (see Appendix C, and the Appendix C of 2010 edition).

This standard belongs under the National Technical Committee on Energy Fundamentals and Management of Standardization Administration of China (SAC/TC 20).
This standard will replace the following edition(s):
——GB 24849-2010.
Minimum allowable values of energy efficiency and energy efficiency grades for household and similar microwave ovens
1. Scope
This standard specifies the minimum allowable values of energy efficiency, the energy efficiency grades, the test methods and the inspection rules for household and similar microwave ovens (hereinafter referred to as microwave ovens).
This standard is applicable to the microwave ovens with maximum rated input power of 2500 W or less, utilizing ISM band electromagnetic energy at frequency of 2450 MHz and heating the objects in the chamber with resistance heating elements, including combination microwave ovens.
This standard is not applicable to microwave ovens for commercial or industrial use, or microwave ovens with a range hood.
Note: ISM band is the electromagnetic frequency range determined by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) and used in the standard CISPR 11 developed by the International Special Committee or Radio Interference (CISPR).

The terms defined in GB 4706.21, GB/T 18800 and IEC 62301 and the following terms and definitions are applicable to this document.
3.1 Efficiency for microwave ovens
The ratio of the effective energy output to the energy input of the microwave oven, expressed in percentage (%).
3.2 Minimum allowable values of energy efficiency for microwave ovens
The minimum allowable efficiency values for microwave ovens under the test conditions stated in the standard, provided that the standby mode power, off mode power and maximum allowable values of energy consumption for grill-function are met, expressed in percentage (%).
3.3 Maximum allowable values of energy consumption for grill-function

3.5 Standby mode
The mode in which the microwave oven is connected to the power supply and provides one or more of the following frequently used or protective functions:
- Activation of other modes via remote control, internal sensor or timer (including activation and deactivation of mode);
- Continuous functions: information or status display including clock;
- Continuous functions: sensor-based functions.
3.6 Off mode power
The active power of microwave oven under the off mode, in watt (W).
3.7 Standby mode power
The active power of microwave oven under the standby mode, in watt (W).
4. Energy efficiency grades
4.1 Energy efficiency grades of microwave ovens
Energy efficiency of microwave ovens is assigned to 3 grades (see Table 1), among which grade 1 is the highest. The efficiency values, off mode power, standby mode power and maximum allowable values of energy consumption for grill-function of the products at various grades shall meet the requirements of Table 1.
