4 Requirements
4.1 General
4.1.1 Pressure resistance general
The following tests are performed for initial type test only.
These tests shall be performed after the manufacture of the buffer tank has been completed, but before
the insulation is applied.
4.1.2 Pressure resistance of the shell
In the test according to 5.3.2, the shell shall withstand, for at least 10 minutes, a pressure that is twice the
maximum design pressure (specified by the manufacturer) without suffering any leaks or material
damage (for example cracks).
4.1.3 Pressure resistance of the secondary system of the buffer tank
In the test according to 5.3.2, the secondary system of the buffer tank shall withstand, for at least
10 minutes, a pressure that is twice the maximum design pressure (specified by the manufacturer on the
secondary system) on secondary system without suffering any leaks or material damage (for example
cracks).
4.1.4 Pressure resistance of the heat exchanger(s)
In the test according to 5.3.2, the internal heat exchanger shall withstand, for at least 10 minutes, a

Risk assessment on base of the design in accordance with the relevant guidelines and, if necessary, taking
into account applicable laws (e.g. product safety law).

The heating circuit and the secondary system of the buffer tank shall be designed so that they can be
vented.
4.3.3 Draining
The buffer tank shall permit in situ draining. The method of draining shall be given in the manufacturer’s
instructions.
4.3.4 Temperature control
Temperature of the primary system shall be controlled by the temperature regulation system of the
heating appliance.
4.3.5 Mounting of the insulation
The manufacturers shall give detailed instructions and/or references in the instruction manual:
a) for the insulation of the tank if it is not insulated; or
b) the insulation can be removed for installation reasons.
4.3.6 Thermal Insulation
The insulation shall withstand the normally expected thermal and mechanical stresses, without
deformation and shall retain its insulating properties under the influences of heat and ageing.The
insulation shall be of non-combustible material. However, inflammable materials are permitted provided
that:
