5.1.3 Heating up time [M1]
The test consists of determining the heating up time (t ) necessary to heat the stored water from its initial
eh
cold state temperature until the first time the gas heat pump is turned off by the set thermostat of the storage
tank. The gas and/or electrical consumption are also measured.
Before launching the test, the cold water is circulated in the tank until the outlet temperature becomes equal
to the inlet temperature within the allowed variation specified (±0,5 K).
When this initial state temperature of the cold water is reached, the gas heat pump is switched on.
After this initial start of the gas heat pump, the gas and electrical supplies are left on for the duration of the
test.
The heating up time (t ) and the corresponding gas input (Q ) and/or electrical (W ) consumptions
eh gas,eh eh
shall be measured from the moment the gas heat pump is switched on until it is shut off by the thermostat of
the storage tank.
The gas consumption is calculated according to the following formula:

1 Scope
This document is applicable to gas-fired appliances producing domestic hot water. It applies to sorption heat
pumps connected to or including a domestic hot water storage tank. It applies to a package marketed as single
unit or fully specified that have:
— a heat input not exceeding 400 kW; and
— a hot water storage tank capacity (if any) not exceeding 2000 l.
In the case of combination boilers, with or without storage tank, domestic hot water production is integrated
or coupled, the whole being marketed as a single unit.
EN 13203-1 sets out in qualitative and quantitative terms the performance in delivery of domestic hot water
for a selected variety of uses. It also gives a system for presenting the information to the user. The present
document sets out a method for assessing the energy performance of the appliances. It defines a number of
daily load profiles for each domestic hot water use, kitchen, shower, bath and a combination of these, together
with corresponding test procedures, enabling the energy performances of different gas-fired appliances to be
compared and matched to the needs of the user. Where other technologies are combined with a gas-fired
boiler or a water heater to produce domestic hot water, specific parts of EN 13203 apply.
Horizontal ground heat sources are not covered by the scope of the present European Standard.

5.1.1 Filling of the storage
The empty storage tank of the appliance is weighted including the inlet and outlet taps or connections.
Then it is filled with water as stated in the installation and operation instructions at the pressure of the
incoming cold water. When it is filled, the water supply is cut off and the appliance is weighed, including the
taps or connections.

ρ(T) is the specific volume of cold water, in kg/m .
T is the temperature of the water used to fill the tank, in °C.
This volume is to be reported in litres to the nearest one-tenth litres.
Filling of the storage are not applicable to heat pump combination heaters.
NOTE The temperature (T) reached after stabilisation (see 5.1.2) can be used to calculate the specific volume ρ(T).
5.1.2 Stabilization at cold
The appliance is kept at ambient conditions until all its parts have reached ambient conditions ± 1 K.
NOTE A waiting time of 24 h is enough to reach stabilisation.
5.1.3 Heating up time [M1]
The test consists of determining the heating up time (teh) necessary to heat the stored water from its initial
cold state temperature until the first time the gas-heat pump is turned off by the set thermostat of the storage
tank. The gas and/or electrical consumption are also measured.
Before launching the test, the cold water is circulated in the tank until the outlet temperature becomes equal
to the inlet temperature within the allowed variation specified (± 0,5 K).
When this initial state temperature of the cold water is reached, the gas heat pump is switched on.
After this initial start of the gas heat pump, the gas and electrical supplies are left on for the duration of the
test.
The heating up time (teh) and the corresponding gas (Qgas) and/or electrical (Weh-HP) consumptions shall
be measured from the moment the gas heat pump-is switched on until it is shut off by the thermostat of the
storage tank.
The gas consumption is calculated according to the following formula:

5.1.4 Standby gas and electrical power input [M2]
This test can be launched just after the gas heat pump shut off caused by the thermostat following the heating
up period.
The standby gas and/or electrical consumptions are measured over several on-off cycles of the-gas heat pump
initiated by the thermostat of the storage tank without any water draw-off.
This test shall be performed over a period not less than 48 h except if six on-off cycles have occurred before
reaching 48 h
The time duration (tes), the gas (Qgas,es) and/or the electrical (Wes-HP) energy consumptions at standby are
the values measured at the last on-off cycle.
The gas consumption at standby is calculated according to the following formula:
QV = K.NCV. (8)

where
Qgas,es is the gas energy consumption of the last on/off cycle, in kWh;
