Slow release appliances fired by solid fuel - Requirements and test methods

This European Standard is applicable to residential freestanding hand fuelled intermittent burning slow heat release appliances having thermal storage capacity such that they can provide heat for an extended period of time after the fire has gone out. These slow heat release appliances may be supplied either as an assembled appliance or as a manufacturer’s pre-designed unit consisting of pre-fabricated components designed to be built on site in accordance with the manufacturer’s specified assembly instructions. One off installations are not included as they are not covered by the scope of this standard.
This European standard is also applicable to appliances which are designed for operating under room sealed conditions and which are intended to be installed into a chimney not serving any other appliances.
NOTE: Appliances which receive their combustion air from outside by means of a pipe system which is not air tight are not considered room sealed in accordance with this standard.
This European Standard specifies requirements relating to the design, manufacture, construction, safety and performance (efficiency and emissions) together with associated test methods and test fuels for residential slow heat release appliances fired by solid fuel (hereafter referred to as “appliances”), and provides instructions for them.  Furthermore, it also gives provisions for evaluation of conformity i.e. initial type testing (ITT) and factory production control (FPC) and marking of these appliances.
These appliances provide heat by radiation and/or convection into the space where they are installed.  Additionally if fitted with a boiler or other heat exchanger these appliances may also provide domestic hot water and/or central heating.
These appliances may burn either solid mineral fuels, peat briquettes, natural or manufactured wood logs or be multi-fuel in accordance with the appliance manufacturer’s instructions. Wood pellets which are specifically intended to be hand fuelled only may also be burned either on the existing appliance bottom grate or in a special basket arrangement which is placed by the user into the existing firebox.
This European Standard is not applicable to mechanically fed appliances. This European standard is also not applicable to appliances which are designed to be operated with ventilating systems which have pressure below (– 15 Pa) in relation to the outside atmosphere as measured in the room where the appliance is installed.
This European Standard covers also the NOx, OGC/total hydrocarbons and particulate matter emission test methods; however it does not contain any limit values for these emissions.

Speicherfeuerstätten für feste Brennstoffe - Anforderungen und Prüfverfahren

Appareils de chauffage à combustible solide à libération lente - Exigences et méthodes d'essai

La présente Norme Européenne s’applique aux appareils de chauffage domestique autonomes à libération lente de
chaleur, à combustion intermittente et alimentation manuelle, dont la capacité de stockage thermique leur permet
de fournir de la chaleur pendant une durée prolongée après la fin de la combustion. Ces appareils de chauffage à
libération lente de chaleur peuvent être fournis sous la forme d’appareil assemblé ou d’une unité conçue au
préalable par le fabricant, constituée d’éléments préfabriqués, destinés à être montés sur le site conformément aux
instructions du fabricant. Les installations uniques ne sont pas incluses car elles n’entrent pas dans le domaine
d’application de la présente norme.
La présente Norme Européenne s’applique également aux appareils conçus pour fonctionner en conditions
étanches et destinés à être montés sur un conduit de fumée ne desservant aucun autre appareil.
NOTE Les appareils recevant leur air de combustion de l’extérieur au moyen d’un système de tuyauterie qui n’est pas
étanche à l’air ne sont pas considérés comme étanches au sens de la présente norme.
La présente Norme Européenne spécifie les exigences relatives à la conception, la fabrication, la construction, la
sécurité et la performance (rendement et émissions) ainsi que les méthodes et combustibles d’essai
correspondants pour les appareils de chauffage domestique à combustible solide à libération lente de chaleur (ciaprès
dénommés « appareils »), et fournit des instructions les concernant. En outre, elle donne des dispositions
pour l’évaluation de la conformité, c’est-à-dire les essais de type initiaux (ITT), le contrôle de la production en usine
(CPU) et le marquage de ces appareils.
Ces appareils fournissent de la chaleur par rayonnement et/ou convection dans l’espace où ils sont installés. En
outre, s’ils sont équipés d’un bouilleur ou autre échangeur thermique, ces appareils peuvent également fournir de
l’eau chaude à usage domestique et/ou assurer un chauffage central.
Ces appareils peuvent fonctionner avec des combustibles minéraux solides, des briquettes de tourbe, des bûches
de bois naturelles ou manufacturées ; ils peuvent également fonctionner avec plusieurs combustibles
conformément aux instructions du fabricant de l’appareil. Des granules de bois, spécifiquement destinés à
l’alimentation manuelle uniquement, peuvent également être brûlés sur la grille de l’appareil ou sur un dispositif
spécial en forme de panier, placé dans le foyer existant par l’utilisateur.
La présente Norme Européenne ne s’applique pas aux appareils à alimentation mécanique. Elle ne s’applique pas
non plus aux appareils conçus pour fonctionner avec des systèmes de ventilation dont la pression est inférieure à
(–15 Pa) par rapport à l’atmosphère extérieure, lorsqu’elle est mesurée dans la pièce où l’appareil est installé.
La présente Norme Européenne couvre également les méthodes d’essai d’émission de NOx, de
COV/hydrocarbures totaux et de particules fines ; toutefois, les valeurs limites pour ces émissions ne sont pas
indiquées.
