7 Modification to clause 7, "Dimensions, mass and means of
connection to the supply"
Modify last sentence as follows:
The length of the supply cord is stated in m, rounded down to the nearest 0,05 m, or it is stated
that the heater is for connection to fixed wiring.
8 Modification to clause 11, "Stability of room temperature"
Delete the hanging paragraph and integrate in 11.1.
11.1  Basic method of evaluation
Modify by:
The amplitude and drift are determined for heaters incorporating an integrated or remote
room temperature control.
The heater is placed in the test chamber of a climatic test room A or B (see Annex A).
The temperature inside the test chamber is measured for three different energy ratios which
are obtained by changing the temperature in the refrigerating chamber, without changing the
setting of the room temperature control. The measurements are made when the average
room temperature is stable over a period of five consecutive fluctuations or 2 h, whichever
is shorter.
The first measurement is made with the room temperature control set to give a temperature
in the test room between 20 °C and 25 °C at a high energy ratio. The high energy ratio is
(80 ± 5) % but if the ratio is not attainable due to the capacity of the climatic test room, the
highest possible energy ratio is used.
NOTE 1 If the energy ratio of (80 ± 5) % cannot be attained with a heater belonging to a family, the method
of 11.2 is used instead.
The temperature of the refrigerating chamber is then increased to give an energy ratio of (50
± 5) %, the third measurement is made with a low energy ratio. The low energy ratio is (20
± 5) %, but if this results in heat-losses less than 150 W, the low energy ratio is that
corresponding to 150 W.
The amplitude is determined for the energy ratio of (50 ± 5) %.
The drift is determined from the average room temperature at the high and low energy
ratios using the following formula:
60
Dt()−t
B A
A−B
where
D is the drift;
t is the average room temperature at the high energy ratio;
A
t is the average room temperature at the low energy ratio;
B
A is the measured value of the high energy ratio;
B is the measured value of the low energy ratio.
NOTE 2 In the formula, 60 is the difference between the ratios of 80 % and 20 %.
NOTE 3 If the average room temperature at the energy ratio of 50 % does not fall between t and t , the
A B
formula is not applicable and the maximum difference of the three values is stated as the drift.

11.2  Method for a family of heaters
Modify the first paragraph with:
The amplitude and drift for a family of heaters may be determined using the following
procedure. Heaters are considered to belong to a family when they have the same basic
construction and have:
– the same dimensions except that the length of the heating element is proportional to the
rated power input;
– the same room temperature control;
NOTE room temperature controls are considered to be the same if they have the same type reference, and for
electronic room temperature controls, the same triac and heat sink if these components influence the sensor.
– the same arrangement for the space containing the room temperature control;
– the same construction at the end of the heating element adjacent to the space containing
...
