(Amendment)Roomheaters fired by solid fuel - Requirements and test methods
Roomheaters fired by solid fuel - Requirements and test methods
This Standard is applicable to non-mechanically fired appliances whose primary function is to provide heat into the space in which they are installed and which are listed under categories 1a and 2a of table 1 of prEN 13240. Additionally, where fitted with a boiler, they also provide domestic hot water and/or central heating. These appliances may burn naturally occurring or manufactured solid mineral fuels, peat briquettes, natural or manufactured wood logs and biomass based products which are in the form of an identifiable consistent product or be multi-fuel in accordance with the appliance manufacturer's instructions. This standard is not applicable to appliances having fan assisted combustion air.

“9 Evaluation of conformity
9.1 General
The compliance of a roomheater appliance with the requirements of this standard and with the stated values
shall be demonstrated by:
- initial type testing,
- factory production control by the manufacturer, including product assessment.
For the purposes of testing, appliances may be grouped into families, where it is considered that the selected
performance characteristic or characteristics, especially in respect of those detailed in Table 11 and Table 12,
is/are common to all appliances within that family.
9.2 Type testing
9.2.1 Initial type testing
Initial type testing shall be performed to demonstrate conformity to this standard. In the case of an appliance
already in production the appliance to be tested shall be chosen at random and be representative of general
production and the manufacturer shall provide a written declaration to this effect.
In the case of a prototype the appliance tested shall be a model representative of the intended future production
and the manufacturer shall provide a written declaration that this is the case. When the appliance goes into
production a dimensional and constructional check shall be undertaken on the production appliance to confirm
it is in agreement with the originally type tested prototype model. If the dimensions of the production appliance
diverge by more than 1 % of the dimension or ± 3 mm whichever is the lesser from that of the prototype in
relation to the firebox and/or combustion chamber and any other dimension considered to be critical to the
safety or performance of the appliance (especially in respect of the characteristics of Table 11 and Table 12)
then the production appliance itself shall be subjected to further type testing as detailed in 9.2.2.
Similarly, if there is a change to the construction materials used which will adversely alter the performance
characteristics of the appliance especially as regards its safety and/or the meeting of the performance
characteristics of Table 12 then the production appliance itself shall be subject to further type testing as detailed
in 9.2.2. This requirement regarding re-testing shall be applied if during the subsequent production or at the
start of a new production run such a change is made to dimensions and/or construction materials. To ensure
that this takes place there shall be a dimensional/constructional check on a current production appliance over
an ongoing period not exceeding 3 years to demonstrate conformity to type.
Where tests have been previously performed in accordance with the provisions of this standard (same product,
same characteristic(s), test method, sampling procedure, system of attestation of conformity, etc.) then the
results of these tests shall be taken into account in assessing continuing conformity to type.
For a family or range of appliance it shall be permissible to test only selected appliances across the family or
range and to only verify selected constructional and performance characteristics on the others, subject to a
clear decision being made that the appliances are part of a family or range of appliances. For the initial ty
