This European Standard specifies the requirements and test methods for the construction, safety, marking and rational use of energy of independent gas-fired convection heating appliances, hereafter referred to as appliances.
This standard is applicable to types B11AS, B11BS, B11CS (commonly referred to in this standard as type B1 appliances) and type C11 independent convection heating appliances burning gas:
- that incorporate a natural draught burner;
- that are connected directly to an open flue or to a device to evacuate the products of combustion (open-flued appliances, balanced-flued appliances);
- that are wall mounted, free-standing or built-in;
- that have a nominal heat input not exceeding 20 kW (based on the net calorific value). In addition, this standard is applicable to live fuel effect appliances.
This standard is not applicable to:
- open fronted appliances as specified in prEN 13278;
- decorative fuel effect appliances as specified in EN 509;
- catalytic combustion appliances;
- appliances in which the supply of combustion air and/or evacuation of products of combustion is achieved by mechanical means;
- ducted-air appliances;
- appliances installed by means of a closure plate (see 3.3.3.3).
This standard is only applicable to appliances which are intended to be type tested.
Matters related to quality assurance systems, tests during production and to certificates of conformity of auxiliary devices are not dealt with by this standard.
