Domestic gas-fired forced convection air heaters for space heating not exceeding a net heat input of 70 kW, without a fan to assist transportation of combustion air and/or combustion products
This standard specifies the requirements and test methods for the safety and efficiency of domestic gas-fired air heaters with (an) atmospheric burner(s) and without a fan to assist the transportation of combustion air and/or flue gases, hereafter referred to as "appliances".
This standard applies to Type B11, B11AS, B11BS, B41, B41AS, B41BS C11, C21, C31 and C41 appliances with an input not exceeding 70 kW (net cv-basis), intended primarily for use in single unit residential dwellings. Provision of the heated air may be by means of ducting.
This standard does not apply to :
a) appliances of the condensing type;
b) appliances for outdoor installation;
c) dual purpose air conditioning appliances (heating and cooling);
d) appliances where the air is heated by an intermediate fluid;
e) appliances with forced draught burners;

This document (EN 778:2009) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 180 “Domestic and non-
domestic gas fired air heaters and non-domestic gas fired overhead radiant heaters”, the secretariat of which
is held by AFNOR.This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical
text or by endorsement, at the latest by April 2010, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the
latest by April 2010.Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. CEN [and/or CENELEC] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document supersedes EN 778:1998.This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the
European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s).
For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annex ZA, and Annex ZB, which are integral parts of this
document.This revision modifies EN 778:1998. It has been prepared to incorporate requirements for combustion
products evacuation ducts, POCEDs, supplied as an integral part of the system to support the EU Directive
89/106/EEC on construction products under mandate M 105. To this end, it extends the scope of the standard
to cover type B appliances.Furthermore, the opportunity presented by this revision has been taken to update the standard in respect to
EN 437:2003.NOTE For countries requesting special categories (specified in EN 437:2003), the absence of specific information
