(or full cycle) duration is expressed in the term of min; for electric heaters a period is an active mode to
perform the intended function of a stream of heat accommodated to the varying demand; period duration
could be initiated by an internal clock function integrated in the control device or given by the influence of
ambient temperature and heat demand
D.2.32
transitional period
transitional period is defined as the lapse of time between the initiation of a defined temperature level and the
actual achievement of the temperature level, typical transition periods of indefinite duration occur when the
heat demand change from comfort to setback and setback to comfort levels. Additional heat load to the room,
not initiated by the heater, could also trigger a transitional period of indefinite duration

D.3 Requirements to comply with functions according to Commission Regulation
(EU) 2015/1188
NOTE Functions implemented in electronic controls which are used identically in a family of heaters have to be
tested only for one member of the family.
D.3.1 Product equipped with single stage heat output, no room temperature control
To check the single stage heat output function - switch the control to ON position and check that the appliance
power is equal to the rating plate information. Test all possible positions of the controls to verify that no other
functions are available.
D.3.2 Product equipped with two or more manual stages, no room temperature control
To check for two or more manual stages function - switch the control to the alternative power positions and
check that the appliance power stages are equal to the rating plate or user instruction information. Test all
possible positions of the controls to verify that no other functions are available.
D.3.3 Product equipped with mechanical room temperature control
To check for mechanical room temperature control function - in a room with stable temperature (in the range
23 °C ± 3 °C) the appliance should be allowed to adapt to the temperature for ≥ 60 min with the appliance
switched OFF. Then switch the appliance ON and with the control check that the heat output is turned ON
and OFF by the mechanical thermostat room temperature control. The room temperature control should
switch the heat output ON and OFF at temperatures either side of the indicated room temperature set point.
To verify the term “mechanical” the room temperature control should not depend on any active electronic
components to be able to operate. (Typical mechanical room temperature control types would be
bimetal/capillary-gas/oil/wax.)
D.3.4 Product equipped with electronic room temperature control
To check for electronic room temperature control function - in a room with stable temperature (in the range
23°C ± 3°C) the appliance should be allowed to adapt to the temperature for ≥ 60 min with the
