Overview

EN 15033:2006 is a CEN European Standard that specifies type testing requirements for room-sealed storage water heaters using LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) intended for sanitary hot water in vehicles and boats. It covers construction, safety, energy performance, fitness for purpose, environment, classification and marking for appliances used in:

• motor vehicles (per Directive 70/156/EEC),
• caravan holiday homes,
• agricultural/forestry/mobile machinery, and
• boats.

This standard applies to type C1, C3 and C5 room-sealed appliances with atmospheric burners, with nominal heat input up to 7 kW, and electrical supplies such as 12 V or 24 V DC (and optionally a 230 V heating element). EN 15033:2006 deals only with type testing and excludes appliances that serve a dual role for space heating and water heating.

Key topics and technical requirements

EN 15033:2006 defines specifications and test methods covering:

• Construction and materials - requirements for sealed combustion chambers, water vessels and gas circuits.
• Control and safety devices - thermostats, flame supervision, safety shut-offs and manual controls.
• Combustion and burner requirements - atmospheric burners, optional fans, and combustion air/flue arrangements for wall or roof terminations (combined or separate).
• Gas and electrical supply characteristics - use of LPG at I3BP(30) pressure per EN 437 (with national variations for caravans and boats in Annex A).
• Performance and operational tests - vibration resistance, soundness (leak tightness), nominal heat input, temperature control, ignition and flame stability, wind-resistance tests for terminals, fan supervision, and heating-up time.
• Energy efficiency and standby consumption - test methods for rational use of energy.
• Marking and instructions - mandatory marking, user and installation instructions, and applicable symbols for vehicles/boats.

Applications and users

EN 15033:2006 is essential for:

• Manufacturers and designers of LPG room-sealed storage water heaters for vehicles, caravans and boats - to design compliant products.
• Test laboratories and certification bodies - to perform required type tests and issue conformity assessments.
• OEMs and vehicle/caravan/boat builders - for component selection and regulatory compliance.
• Regulators and safety inspectors - to verify appliance safety, emissions and energy performance.
• Fleet operators and installers - to ensure correct installation, operation and documentation.

Related standards

Relevant references and complementary standards include:

• EN 437 (test gases and pressures)
• EN 89 (alternative for caravan storage heaters)
• EN 624 (room-sealed LPG space heating equipment)
• EN 60335-2-21 (household storage water heater safety)
• EN 298, EN 50165, EN ISO 10239 (installation and control requirements)

Use EN 15033:2006 when specifying, testing or validating LPG room-sealed water heaters for mobile and marine applications to ensure safety, durability and efficient hot-water production.
