Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. www.iso.org/directives

5.3 Test methods
5.3.1 Standard heating capacity tests
The standard heating capacity tests shall be conducted in accordance with Annex A of ISO 5151 and
Annex B of ISO 13253 and ISO 15042. The heating capacity and effective power input shall be measured
during the standard heating capacity tests.
The half capacity test shall be conducted at 50 % of full load operation. The test tolerance shall be ± 5 %
of full load capacity for continuously variable equipment. For multi-stage equipment, if 50 % capacity is
not achievable, then the test shall be conducted at the next step above 50 %.
The minimum capacity test shall be conducted at the lowest capacity control setting which allows
steady-state operation of the equipment at the given test conditions.
If the minimum capacity tests are conducted, but if the required uncertainty of measurement specified
in ISO 5151, ISO 13253 and ISO 15042 cannot be achieved, the alternative method of calculation shall be
used. (Refer to 6.6.4 and 6.7.4.)
The manufacturer shall provide information on how to set the capacity if requested by the testing
laboratories.
5.3.2 Low temperature heating capacity test
The low temperature heating capacity test shall be conducted at H2 condition in accordance with
Annex A of ISO 5151 and Annex B of ISO 13253 and ISO 15042. The heating capacity and effective power
input shall be measured during the low temperature heating capacity test.
The half capacity test shall be conducted at 50 % of full load operation. The test tolerance shall be ± 5 %
of full load capacity for continuously variable equipment. For multi-stage equipment, if 50 % capacity is
not achievable, then the test shall be conducted at the next step above 50 %.
The minimum capacity test shall be conducted at the lowest capacity control setting which allows
steady-state operation of the equipment at the given test conditions.
If the minimum capacity tests are conducted, but if the required uncertainty of measurement specified
in ISO 5151, ISO 13253 and ISO 15042 cannot be achieved, the alternative method of calculation shall be
used. (Refer to 6.6.4 and 6.7.4.)
The manufacturer shall provide information on how to set the capacity if requested by the testing
laboratories.
5.3.3 Extra-low temperature heating capacity test
The extra-low temperature heating capacity test shall be conducted at H3 condition in accordance
with Annex A of ISO 5151 and Annex B of ISO 13253 and ISO 15042. The heating capacity and effective
power input shall be measured during the extra-low temperature heating capacity test. If the test is not
conducted, default values as gi
