Overview
EN 16647-1:2025 - published by CEN - is the European standard for alcohol powered flueless fireplaces used as manually operated decorative fireplaces for domestic use. It replaces EN 16647:2015 and defines safety requirements and test methods for free‑standing, wall‑mounted and built‑in decorative fireplaces that produce a flame from liquid alcohol fuel. The standard covers fireplaces with an integral fuel box (not separate fuel tanks) and excludes appliances designed for heating food (rechauds), use in vehicles/boats/caravans, outdoor‑only devices, or units with a declared power output greater than 4.5 kW.
Key Topics
The standard addresses technical and safety aspects under clearly structured clauses and test procedures, including:
Construction and operation
- Fuel volume and fuel storage container requirements
- Design, materials and stability (tilting, impact, spillage)
- Ignition devices and manual filling/extinguishing provisions
- Flame accessibility, draught protection and glass screen provisions
- Combustion behavior and heat output limits (≤ 4.5 kW)
Test methods and requirements
- Stability, impact and spillage tests
- Fuel container soundness and overfilling tests
- Operating tests: fuel consumption, self‑reignition, extinguishing
- Combustion testing and fire safety assessments
- Electrical and electronic component tests where applicable
Marking, labelling and documentation
- Rating plate, package marking, mandatory safety information
- User’s manual, installation and emergency extinguishing instructions (aligned with EN IEC/IEEE 82079‑1)
Compliance & production control
- Type testing, test reports and Factory Production Control (FPC) requirements
Notable technical changes versus the 2015 edition are alignment with Mandate M/538 and EU Decision 2015/547, splitting into parts (Part 1 for manual), removal of gelatinous fuels, revised combustion requirements and added requirements for glass screens.

4 Construction and operation
4.1 General
The fireplace shall be produced in such a way as to:
— rule out any type of permanent deformations or other damages on the fireplace after testing;
— withstand any tensions occurring during normal use;
— facilitate being operated safely.
The use of decorative elements, e.g. imitation wood, pebbles in the area of flame impingement are not
permitted.
4.2 Fuel volume
The maximum burner volume shall not exceed 3 litres. The total fuel capacity of the fireplace shall not
exceed 10 litres
NOTE National or regional legislation might impose lower limits.
4.3 Design
The fireplace shall be fitted with a feature with an easy-to-use closing mechanism (in order to extinguish
the flames). This mechanism shall work reliably and safely whilst the fireplace is in use. If required by
means of auxiliary tools, these shall be provided with the fireplace.
Furthermore, the design of the construction shall ensure:
— any welding seams of the fuel storage tank shall be continuously welded;
— that replaceable parts or parts necessary for assembly on site shall not be fitted incorrectly;
— that all parts used for operation and/or maintenance of the fireplace shall be free from sharp edges
which could constitute a safety hazard for the user;
— an extinguishing device fulfilling 5.3.5.
4.4 Fuel storage container
4.4.1 General
The way of safe refilling of the fireplace shall be specified in the instruction for use and maintenance.
If symbols on the burner are not coloured, coloured stickers shown in Figure 1 shall be added to the
burner, in order to force the removing before the first use of the fireplace.
The fuel storage container shall be leak proof. This is checked by the test under 5.2.1.
The fireplace shall be constructed in such a way that any fuel leakage is avoided. In order to prevent
leakage, an additional containment chamber shall be provided which has a minimum volume of 110 % of
the actual filling volume and that prevents the accumulation of explosive gases. This is checked by the
test under 5.2.2.
NOTE This can be achieved for example by sufficient ventilation.
An additional containment chamber that does not allow the checking and removal of any excess fuel is
prohibited.
The product documentation shall contain safety advice regarding the danger of ignition of fuel overspill.
Furthermore, the user shall be instructed to check and remove any excess fuel in the secondary
containment chamber before lighting the fireplace.
The fireplace shall be equipped with a durable and clearly visible device which helps preventing
overfilling and subsequent overrun of fuel during filling when carried out in accordance with the intended
terms of use. A level indicator or a fill level mark are regarded as suitable devices.
4.4.2 Container marking
Clearly visible and durable warning sign shall be shown around the filling opening of the fireplace
indicating that filling when warm or in operation is not allowed (Figure 1). This shall be according to
ISO/TS 20559:2020, 6.6.2.
Figure 1 — Graphical symbols “Do not fill fuel into the open flame. Do not fill fuel into the hot
burner” (ISO 7010 - W021)
The height of the symbol shall be at least 25 mm. If the symbol is engraved or laser etched into the metal,
it does not have to be coloured. Marking of components of the fireplace which are removed during
operation or a marking of accessories (funnel, lighter, fuel refill container) are not considered as
sufficient.
The durability of the marking shall be checked according to 5.2.4.
4.5 Materials
The parts which are in contact with the fuel shall be constructed with chrome-nickel steel X5CrNi18-10
according to EN 10088-3:2023.
NOTE 1 This is equivalent to chrome-nickel steel 1.4301.
If different materials are used, their suitability in terms of thermal, chemical, mechanical properties and
corrosion resistance shall be proven by specification or by test; special consideration shall be given to
materials used in areas touching the flame.
Soldering flux containing Asbestos and Cadmium shall not be used in any components of the fireplace.
Any insulation material shall be non-combustible (A2s1d0 class according to EN 13501-1:2018) and its
application shall not pose any threat to health and safety.
Filling materials used in the burners shall be durable and specifically suited for the thermal strain under
contact with fuel and its combustion and shall not alter their properties. Proof shall be presented in order
to make sure the suitability of the material. This shall be tested according to 5.2.3.
NOTE 2 Certificates issued by a test institute are acceptable proof.
The burner, and all components which can reach a temperature over 65 K above room temperature, shall
be constructed of non-combustible materials.
4.6 Stability
If fittings for the mounting or fixing of the fireplaces are provided with the fireplace, they shall be durable
for the whole life of the fireplace.
If unintentionally moved or tilted during operation the fireplace shall be stable according to the tests in
5.1.
Fireplaces provided with wheels, or any other device helping their movement, shall be naturally blocked
and it shall be impossible to move them without extinguishing the flame.
The freestanding fireplaces shall pass the stability test (tilting and sliding, impact, movement test), as
stated in 5.1.
For all the tests the fuel tank shall be filled with fuel to the maximum level according to the user
instruction.
For wall-mounted fireplaces, unintentional movement or release shall be prevented. Especially it shall
not be possible to unintentionally unlatch or lift off the fireplace from its fittings. This should be checked
during the test in 5.1.5.
Damage to the fireplace which is caused by impact stress (e.g. crack in a glass screen) are acceptable as
long as the requirements towards mechanical stability and fuel spillage are met.
4.7 Ignition device
The fireplace shall be safe to ignite.

De plus, la norme ne s'applique pas aux cheminées conçues spécifiquement pour des usages culinaires, ainsi qu'à celles dont la puissance dépasse 4,5 kW. Cela révèle une attention particulière portée à la sécurité, en évitant des risques associés à des applications non prévues ou à une utilisation inappropriée des cheminées. En résumé, la norme FprEN 16647-1 s'avère être un document standard de grande pertinence pour le secteur des cheminées décoratives à alcool, alliant sécurité, spécificité d’application et adaptation aux besoins des utilisateurs manuels. Son adoption pourrait favoriser une meilleure compréhension et une mise en conformité accrue des produits sur le marché domestique.
