SIST EN 50465:2015 (EN 50465:2015) is the European standard for gas appliances - micro combined heat and power (mCHP) appliances with a nominal heat input less than or equal to 70 kW. It specifies requirements and test methods for construction, safety, fitness for purpose, energy use and marking of mCHP appliances that burn gases covered by EN 437 and are classified according to CEN/TR 1749 (types B22, B23, B32, B33, B52, B53, C1, C3, C42, C43, C52, C53, C62, C63, C82, C83 and C9). Applicable appliances may be installed indoors or outdoors (partially protected), work on sealed or open water systems, and produce hot water by instantaneous or stored methods.

Key Topics and Requirements

  • Scope limits: maximum heat input ≤ 70 kW; heating water temperature ≤ 105 °C; heating circuit pressure ≤ 6 bar; domestic hot water circuit ≤ 10 bar. Note: PED applies if temperature > 110 °C or volume × pressure > 50 bar·litres.

  • Test methods: standardized procedures for soundness, heat and electrical output, efficiency, combustion analysis, hydraulic resistance, pressure resistance and endurance tests (see Annex CC for long-term stress tests).
  • Marking and documentation: appliance marking, installation, operating and conversion instructions; provisions to support ErP (2009/125/EC) and energy labelling (2010/30/EU) calculations (Annex EE).
  • Limitations: excludes appliances that produce electrical energy without using the thermal energy and appliances intended for highly variable gas quality (see Annex DD).

X
Micro-cogeneration is also known as micro combined heat and power [mCHP]. mCHP is an efficient way
to deliver heating, cooling and electricity. It is based on the simultaneous production of electrical and
thermal energy, both of which are used. The central and most fundamental principle of mCHP is that in
order to maximize the many benefits that arise from it, systems should be based according to the heat
demand of the application.
A fuel cell, Stirling engine and internal combustion engine are just some of the significant technologies to
be the thermal heart of a mCHP appliance.
mCHP appliances that are already established in the market are used to provide central heating and
domestic hot water in residential buildings.
Due to the development of new technology other solutions than those described in this European
Standard are possible if these solutions provide at least an equivalent level of safety.
Matters related to quality assurance systems, tests during production, and certificates of conformity of
auxiliary devices are not dealt with in this European Standard.
Due to the change in scope to include technologies in addition to fuel cells, the title of this European
Standard has been changed from “fuel cell gas heating appliance” into “combined heat and power
appliance”.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CENELEC [and/or CEN] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent
rights.

This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CENELEC by the European Commission
and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s).
For the relationship with EU Directive(s) see informative Annex ZZ, which is an integral part of this
document.The essential requirements of EC Directive 2009/142/EC relating to "rational use of energy" is
defined by the maximum quantity of energy recovered (thermal and electrical energy output) from the gas
energy input.
__________
1 Scope
This European Standard specifies the requirements and test methods for the construction, safety, fitness
for purpose, rational use of energy and the marking of a micro combined heat and power appliance;
(hereafter referred to as “mCHP appliance”).
This European Standard applies to mCHP appliances of types B , B , B , B B B , C , C , C , C
22 23 32 33, 52, 53 1 3 42 43
C , C C C C C and C based on the classifications of CEN/TR 1749:
52 53, 62, 63, 82, 83 9
– that use one or more supplied gases of the three gas families at the pressures stated in EN 437,
– where the temperature of the heat transfer fluid of the heating system (heating water circuit) does
not exceed 105 ºC during normal operation,
– where the maximum operating pressure in the
- heating water circuit does not exceed 6 bar,
- domestic hot water circuit (if installed) does not exceed 10 bar,
– which are either intended to be installed indoors or outdoors in a partially protected place,
– which are intended to produce hot water either by the instantaneous or storage principle,
– which have a maximum heat input (based on net calorific value) not exceeding 70 kW,
– which are designed for sealed or open water systems.
NOTE 1 For applications where the maximum allowable water temperature exceeds 110 ºC or where volume multiplied by
maximum allowable pressure exceeds 50 bar litres, further requirements may be necessary to comply with the essential
requirements of Directive 97/23/EC (Pressure Equipment Directive (PED)).
NOTE 2 For mCHP appliances with constructions that might not be fully covered by this European Standard or by another specific
standard, the risk associated with the alternative construction will be assessed.
NOTE 3 prEN 13203-4 will specify the assessment of energy consumption for domestic hot water production of gas combined
heat and power appliances (mCHP).
This European Standard does not contain the requirements necessary for appliance capable of producing
electrical energy without using the thermal energy.
This European Standard does not cover all the requirements for mCHP appliances that are intended to be
connected to gas grids where the quality of the distributed gas is likely to vary to a large extent over the
lifetime of the appliance (see Annex DD).

The article discusses the requirements and test methods for micro combined heat and power appliances (mCHP), which are appliances that produce both heat and electrical energy. The standard applies to mCHP appliances that use different types of supplied gases, have specific temperature and pressure limits, and are designed for indoor or outdoor installation. The appliances can produce hot water and have a maximum heat input of 70 kW. The article also mentions that further requirements may be necessary for appliances with higher water temperature or pressure. The standard does not cover appliances that only produce electrical energy and does not include requirements for appliances connected to gas grids with varying gas quality.
