AMENDMENT 1
FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their
preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

timer function should be tested for 7 × 24 h cycle. The device should be programmed according
to the user instruction for one or two setback, frost protection or other state of reduced heat
output periods over one 24 h period. The setback, frost protection or other state of reduced
heat output period duration should be between 5 h and 7 h and the comfort period a minimum
of 4 h. Comfort temperature setpoint should be in the range 23 °C ± 5 °C. Setback temperature
setpoint in the range 4 K ± 1 K lower to the comfort temperature. The comfort/setback, frost
protection or other state of reduced heat output periods should be registered with a sampling
frequency of ≤ 2 min. The room temperature should be registered with a resolution of ≤ 0,5 °C
-sampling frequency ≤ 2 min. The documentation should state that the room temperature is
reduced according to the programmed values during the setback, frost protection or other state
of reduced heat output periods compared to the comfort periods. Temperature control accuracy
is not part of the verification.
D.3.8 Product equipped with room temperature control, with presence detection
To check for presence detection function, the product should be facing an open space with no
obstacles in front for 3 m or at the maximum distance stated by the manufacturer if less than
3 m. The product in normal operation with no persons in the room should be in setback, frost
protection or other state of reduced heat output. Test presence mode by a person
height ≥ 150 cm dressed in clothing with a value in the range of one clo (see ASHRAE) walking
back and forth at a distance of 3 m from the front of the product to 3 m in both directions from
the centre of the products for 1 min. The product should then operate in comfort mode. After
the person leaves the room the heater should revert to the setback, frost protection or other
state of reduced heat output as defined by the manufacturer.
D.3.9 Product equipped with room temperature control, with open window detection
To check for open window detection function, the three following options are available:
a) Test by mechanical/optical open window detection
Test according to user instruction/documentation. Control for the selected setback temperature
to be activated by mechanical or optical means to simulate the open window. The reduction
level should be adjusted to setback temperature, frost protection or other state of reduced heat
output. The function shall be able to be cancelled manually.
b) Test by thermal open window detection
The appliance to be tested should be running in comfort mode in a surrounding where the
appliance room temperature control is set to 23 °C ± 3 °C (comfort temperature, Ct) until stable
conditions are achieved. The test can be performed in any enclosure / room / cabinet where the
temperature is controlled by the room temperature control. The temperature registered as “Ct”
should be measured as close to the temperature sensor as possible.
To test the open window function, reduce the ambient temperature between 5 K and 10 K below
Ct within 10 min and maintain this reduced temperature for at least 30 min. This could be
achieved by moving the heater from one room/enclosure/cabinet with the room temperature
controller controlling the comfort temperature Ct to another room/enclosure/cabinet with a
temperature between 5 °C and 10 °C below Ct. The appliance should stay in the cooler
room/enclosure/cabinet for at least 30 min. Within 30 min the open window detection should
turn the appliance to a reduced heat output. The duration of this state of reduced heat output
should be minimum 60 min. The function is allowed to be cancelled manually.
– 10 – IEC 62999:2016/AMD1:2021
© IEC 2021
The Ct temperature, the following reduced temperature and the heat output should be recorded
throughout the test duration to verify that the conditions are according to the criteria.
c) Test by thermal open window detection (in a climatic test room)
The test is operated in the climatic test room A or B (Annex E).
The two air ventilation inlets located at the centre over the window are blocked.
The two air ventilation inlets located at the extreme positions over the window are replaced by
ventilation ducts of a cross section from 55 mm × 220 mm going down along the window to its
lowest part. The cold climate temperature T is −5 °C ± 0,5 °C.
F
The temperature set point of the heater is 19 °C.
At the beginning of the test, the air exchange rate is of 0 volume/h. The heater is in comfort
mode. The heater is installed according to the installation specifications (horizontal heaters
below the window, vertical heaters on the wall next to the window) until the climatic conditions
are stabilized in the room. The simulation of an opened window is achieved by stepping up the
air exchange rate from 0 volume/h to 4 volumes/h.
The opened window detection is effective if within 15 min the heater goes into setback, frost
protection or other state of reduced heat output mode. The function is allowed to be cancelled
manually.
D.3.10 Product equipped with distance control option
Test the distance control function according to user instruction/documentation. The function
should allow for changing the settings or operation mode.
The function of the distance control can be verified by checking the changes with the display
indications – if a display is available. If no display is available, at least one function shall be
verified by test, e.g. the change to setback function as in D.3.6 or D.3.7.
D.3.11 Product equipped with adaptive start control
Test the function adaptive start control according to user instruction/documentation. The
function is tested in a room with the heater thermostat working between 50 % and 60 % Duty
Cycle during periods of comfort. Comfort temperature is set to 23 °C ± 3 °C until stable
conditions are achieved. This temperature is the reference comfort temperature Ct.
Activate a setback period of 7 −2/+0 h per 24 h with a setback of 4 °C ± 1 °C. The comfort
period being 17 +2/-0 h. With the adaptive start control activated – let the heater room
temperature controller work during 7 × 24 h periods of comfort and setback cycles. After the
latest setback period is finished, the comfort temperature Ct should be reached within ± 45 min
deviation to the time target – with a maximal difference of ± 1 K from the reference comfort
temperature, Ct. If the target temperature above is reached before the 7 days, the test can be
stopped. The temperature should be registered with a sampling frequency of ≤ 2 min.
D.3.12 Product equipped with working time limitation
Test the working time limitation function according to user instruction/documentation. The
function is tested by activating the product and measure the duration of time until the automatic
deactivation.
D.3.13 Product equipped with black bulb sensor
The test for black bulb function is performed in a room with temperature of 20 °C ± 4 °C. The
black bulb sensor should be positioned in the centre of the radiant heater beam at a distance
© IEC 2021

The climatic test room consists of a test chamber for simulating the indoor temperature and a
refrigerating chamber for simulating the outdoor temperature. The chambers are separated by
a wall, referred to as the exterior wall, as shown in Figure E.1.
The heat demand in the test chamber is created by changing the temperature in the refrigerating
3 3
chamber. The test chamber has a volume between 30 m and 40 m , a length between 3 m and
4 m, a width between 3 m and 4 m and a height between 2,4 m and 2,6 m.
In the exterior wall, there is a window of at least 3 m × 1,5 m having a coefficient of thermal
conductance not more than 3 W/m K. The wall under the window has a height of at least 0,8 m
and has a coefficient of thermal conductance not more than 0,5 W/m K. The remainder of the
exterior wall has a coefficient of thermal conductance not more than 1,0 W/m K. The other
walls, the floor and the ceiling have a coefficient of thermal conductance not more than
0,6 W/m K.
Cold air in the test chamber is supplied from the refrigerating chamber through two inlets placed
symmetrically above the window. The air is returned to the refrigerating chamber at the upper
corners of the exterior wall by means of ducting. The extraction point in the test chamber is on
the wall opposite to the exterior wall at a height not more than 0,4 m above the floor.
The air exchange between the refrigerating chamber and the test chamber is approximately one
test chamber volume per hour.
The refrigerating chamber is to be capable of creating a heat-loss through the exterior wall of
at least 1 000 W.
The ambient temperature surrounding the climatic test room is to be within 2 K of the mean
temperature of the test chamber when setting the room temperature control.
The heater is placed in the test chamber against the wall, below the centre of the window,
according to the instructions. If the heater is too high to be placed below the window, it is placed
on one of the adjacent walls with its centre at a distance of 2 m from the exterior wall, so that
the side of the heater containing the room temperature control is closer to the exterior wall. No
heat source other than the appliance under test is to be in the test room.
The temperature of the test chamber is measured by means of a thermocouple placed inside a
thin-wall black globe having a diameter of approximately 10 cm. The globe is located centrally
at a distance of 2 m from the exterior wall and at a height of 1,2 m above the floor. The recording
instrument is located outside the test chamber.

AMENDEMENT 1
AVANT-PROPOS
1) La Commission Electrotechnique Internationale (IEC) est une organisation mondiale de normalisation composée
de l'ensemble des comités électrotechniques nationaux (Comités nationaux de l'IEC). L'IEC a pour objet de
favoriser la coopération internationale pour toutes les questions de normalisation dans les domaines de
l'électricité et de l'électronique. A cet effet, l'IEC – entre autres activités – publie des Normes internationales,
des Spécifications techniques, des Rapports techniques, des Spécifications accessibles au public (PAS) et des
Guides (ci-après dénommés "Publication(s) de l'IEC"). Leur élaboration est confiée à des comités d'études, aux
travaux desquels tout Comité national intéressé par le sujet traité peut participer. Les organisations
internationales, gouvernementales et non gouvernementales, en liaison avec l'IEC, participent également aux
travaux. L'IEC collabore étroitement avec l'Organisation Internationale de Normalisation (ISO), selon des
conditions fixées par accord entre les deux organisations.
2) Les décisions ou accords officiels de l'IEC concernant les questions techniques représentent, dans la mesure du
possible, un accord international sur les sujets étudiés, étant donné que les Comités nationaux de l'IEC intéressés
sont représentés dans chaque comité d'études.
3) Les Publications de l'IEC se présentent sous la forme de recommandations internationales et sont agréées
comme telles par les Comités nationaux de l'IEC. Tous les efforts raisonnables sont entrepris afin que l’IEC
s'assure de l'exactitude du contenu technique de ses publications; l’IEC ne peut pas être tenue responsable de
l'éventuelle mauvaise utilisation ou interprétation qui en est faite par un quelconque utilisateur final.
4) Dans le but d'encourager l'uniformité internationale, les Comités nationaux de l'IEC s'engagent, dans toute la
mesure possible, à appliquer de façon transparente les Publications de l'IEC dans leurs publications nationales
et régionales. Toutes divergences entre toutes Publications de l'IEC et toutes publications nationales ou
régionales correspondantes doivent être indiquées en termes clairs dans ces dernières.
5) L'IEC elle-même ne fournit aucune attestation de conformité. Des organismes de certification indépendants
fournissent des services d'évaluation de conformité et, dans certains secteurs, accèdent aux marques de
conformité de l'IEC. L'IEC n'est responsable d'aucun des services effectués par les organismes de certification
indépendants.
6) Tous les utilisateurs doivent s'assurer qu'ils sont en possession de la dernière édition de cette publication.
