admissible tolerances, the criteria for selecting the samples to be tested and for verifying the conformity of the
current production with the samples tested at the initial test.
This European Standard also defines the additional common data that the manufacturer shall provide to the
trade in order to ensure the correct application of the products.
This European Standard does not apply to independent heating appliances.

Foreword
This document (prEN 442-2:2010) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 130 “Space heating
appliances without integral heat sources”, the secretariat of which is held by UNI.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 442-2:1996, EN 442-2:1996/A1:2000, EN 442-2:1996/A2:2003.
This European Standard comes from an output of the project SMT4 - CT97 - 2127 funded by the European
Commission DGXII-RDT.
Introduction
This European Standard results from the recognition that the heating appliances falling into the field of
application hereinafter stated are traded on the basis of their thermal output.
To evaluate and compare different appliances it is therefore necessary to refer to a single stipulated value,
hereinafter called the standard thermal outputs.
The standard thermal outputs are defined value taken from the characteristic equation.
The pre-requisites of the standard thermal outputs, as defined by this European Standard, are the following:
 to be representative of the actual output of the appliance in different operating conditions;
 to be reproducible within the tolerances defined by this European Standard, taking into account the state
of measuring techniques;
 to be representative of the thermal output, obtainable under the same test conditions, of any identical
sample taken out of the current production (within the tolerances defined by this European Standard taking
into account the state of measuring techniques and methods of manufacture).
This European Standard for radiators and convectors consists of the following Parts:
 Part 1: Technical specifications and requirements
 Part 2: Test methods and rating
 Part 3: Evaluation of conformity
