The use of decorative elements e.g. imitation wood, pebbles in the flame area are not permitted. SIST EN 16647:2015

Key 1 fireplace 2 combustion chamber a maximum height of water or fuel Figure 2 — Safety test for movement and leakage of fuel while striking against the appliance The test is considered as passed if there is no spillage and the appliance does not move more than 50 % of the safety distance stated in the user instruction. In any case, the appliance shall not move more than 1 m. 5.4 Tilting from impact stress Appliances shall be placed on a rigid, horizontal, levelled surface with a low friction (e.g. glass plate). A stopping device/barrier, the purpose of which is to restrict the movement of the appliance, shall be fixed on the floor next to the appliance. Its height shall not exceed 12 mm (according to EN 1023-3), provided that the construction of the appliance does not require a higher stopping device/barrier. In that case, the height to be chosen shall be the lowest one which prevents the appliance from moving. During the impact test with a pendulum from the side of the appliance opposed to the stopping device/barrier, the appliance shall not spill. The test bag of 20 kg weight shall be suspended from a 2 m long rope in such a manner that it hangs right next to the most critical point of the appliance (with regards to tilting it) (which is usually the point at the biggest distance from barycentre) in 1 m height or next to its upper edge if the appliance be lower than 1 m. The test bag is deflected by 600 mm and then swings freely towards the appliance. SIST EN 16647:2015

Key 1 fireplace 2 combustion chamber 3 stopping device/Barrier a maximum height of water or fuel Figure 3 — Tilting test for appliances The test is considered as passed if there is no spillage. 5.5 Stress test The appliance shall be fixed to the test wall/ceiling as specified in the instruction. The appliance shall then be lit; after 3/4 of the maximum combustion time the appliance shall be shut down and a test weight, made by two weights of 30 kg each connected with a rope (the two weights shall be suspended), shall be applied within 2 min after shutdown. The weight shall be left on the appliance for 10 min and then removed. For testing wall mounted appliances a lateral force of 45 kg shall be applied to the appliance for 2 min. The force shall be applied to the farthest point from the appliance's wall fixes. SIST EN 16647:2015

Key 1 wall mounted appliance 2 lateral force (45 kg) Figure 4 — Stress test for wall mounted appliances The test is considered as passed if the appliance presents no deformations of its structure and its connection system and no spillage from the appliance after any of the test. 5.6 Spillage test The appliance shall be placed on an inclinable surface with low friction (e.g. glass) without any fixation. The surface shall be successively tilted towards all four sides by 10°. The appliance shall neither tilt nor slip. The speed at which the surface is tilted shall not exceed 1,5 ± 0,5° increase of tilt angle/second. The test in considered as passed if there is no spillage. 5.7 Fuel storage container The fuel storage container shall be tight i.e. at maximum filling level no fuel shall leak during a period of 24 h. Alternatively, the tightness can be tested by applying pressure of 0,5 bar to the container which shall not show any visible leaks. EXAMPLE Bubble formation when using leak detection spray. The appliance shall be constructed in such a way that any fuel leakage is avoided. In order to prevent leakage, a secondary containment chamber shall be provided which has a minimum volume of 110 % of the actually filling volume and sufficient ventilation. In case of an inaccessible secondary containment chamber a safety device with a spilling sensor shall be provided. The appliance shall be overfilled with 10 % of the maximum capacity and lighted on. The test is considered as passed if extra flames are safe and do not lend to explosions. The product documentation shall contain a safety advice regarding the danger of ignition of fuel spillover. Furthermore, the user shall be instructed to check the secondary containment chamber for excess fuel before lighting the fireplace. The appliance 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 is regarded as suitable devices. SIST EN 16647:2015

Figure 5 — Graphical symbols “Do not fill fuel into the open flame. Do not fill fuel into the hot burner” The size 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 appliance which are removed during operation or a marking of accessories (funnel, lighter, fuel refill container) are not considered as sufficient. The durability of the safety mark/symbol is not only to be tested and confirmed during operation in accordance with the intended terms of use, but shall additionally be confirmed in the following test procedure: For the duration of 15 s the symbol shall be firstly rubbed with a cotton cloth soaked in water. Subsequently, it shall be again rubbed for 15 s with a cotton c
