TS 11641

TS 11641 is a standard for baking sheets used in bread baking, specifically those manufactured from steel sheet or aluminium sheet. In bakery equipment, this type of tray helps support dough during baking, maintain the loaf shape and provide a controlled heat path into the product. The standard identifies this particular product group and ties it to the material basis used for bread-baking trays.

The technical role of baking sheets

Baking sheets are core auxiliary items in bakery production because they mediate how dough is supported and exposed to heat. Steel sheet is generally valued for mechanical robustness and thermal stability, while aluminium sheet is known for its light weight and good thermal conductivity. In general technical terms, the tray material influences not only durability but also how heat spreads through the tray and reaches the dough. That makes material selection an important part of baking performance as well as handling.

What this standard limits its scope to

According to the supplied scope information, the standard is limited to baking trays made of steel sheet or aluminium sheet. Similar equipment made from other materials is outside this definition. The reference to earlier standards indicates an established technical lineage, but this listing itself is concerned only with this specific material group and intended baking application.

• Prepared for bread-baking trays made from steel sheet or aluminium sheet.
• Defines the product group on a material basis.
• Applies to trays intended for bread baking.
• Does not automatically extend to similar equipment made from different materials.
