4 Construction
4.1 General
The fireplace shall be produced in such a way as to:
— rule out any type of permanent deformations or other damages on the fireplace after testing;
— withstand any tensions occurring during normal use;
— facilitate being operated safely.
The use of decorative elements e.g. imitation wood, pebbles in the area of flame impingement are not
permitted.
4.2 Fuel Volume
The maximum burner volume shall not exceed 3 litres. The total fuel capacity of the fireplace shall not
exceed 10 litres
NOTE National or regional legislation might impose lower limits.

---------------------- Page: 9 ----------------------
oSIST prEN 16647-1:2023
prEN 16647-1:2023(E)
4.3 Construction
The fireplace shall be fitted with a feature with an easy-to-use closing mechanism (in order to extinguish
the flames). This mechanism shall work reliably and safely whilst the fireplace is in use. If required by
means of auxiliary tools, these shall be provided with the fireplace.
Furthermore, the design of the construction shall ensure:
— any welding seams of the fuel storage tank shall be continuously welded;
— that replaceable parts or parts necessary for assembly on site shall not be fitted incorrectly;
— that all parts used for operation and/or maintenance of the fireplace shall be free from sharp edges
which could constitute a safety hazard for the user;
— an extinguishing device fulfilling 5.3.5.
4.4 Materials
The parts which are in contact with the fuel shall be constructed with chrome-nickel steel X5CrNi18-10
according to EN 10088-3:2014.
NOTE 1 This is equivalent to chrome-nickel steel 1.4301.
If different materials are used, their suitability in terms of thermal, chemical, mechanical properties and
corrosion resistance shall be proven by specification or by test; special consideration shall be given to
materials used in areas touching the flame.
Soldering flux containing Asbestos and Cadmium shall not be used in any components of the fireplace.
Any insulation material shall be non-combustible (A2s1d0 class, EN 13501-1:2018) and its application
shall not pose any threat to health and safety.
Filling materials used in the burners shall be durable and specifically suited for the thermal strain under
contact with fuel and its combustion and shall not alter their properties. Proof shall be presented in order
to make sure the suitability of the material. This shall be tested according to 5.7.
NOTE 2 Certificates issued by a test institute are acceptable proof.
The burner, and all components which can reach a temperature over 65 K above room temperature, shall
be constructed of non-combustible materials.
4.5 Stability
If fittings for the mounting or fixing of the fireplaces are provided with the fireplace, they shall be durable
for the whole life of the fireplace.
If unintentionally moved or tilted during operation the fireplace shall be stable according to the tests in
5.1.
Fireplaces provided with wheels, or any other device helping their movement, shall be naturally blocked
and it shall be impossible to move them without extinguishing the flame.
The freestanding fireplaces shall pass the stability test (tilting and sliding, impact, movement test), as
stated in 5.1.
For all the tests the fuel tank shall be filled with fuel to the maximum level according to the user
instruction.

---------------------- Page: 10 ----------------------
oSIST prEN 16647-1:2023
prEN 16647-1:2023 (E)
For wall-mounted fireplaces, unintentional movement or release shall be prevented. Especially it shall
not be possible to unintentionally unlatch or lift off the fireplace from its fittings. This should be checked
during the test in 5.1.5.
NOTE Damage to the fireplace which is caused by impact stress (e.g. crack in a glass screen) may be accepted
as long as the requirements towards mechanical stability and fuel spillage are met.
4.6 Ignition device
The fireplace shall be safe to ignite.
It shall be possible to light the fireplace with commonly available lighters, if the fireplace is not equipped
with an integrated ignition device, a suitable lighter shall be provided with the fireplace. The user shall
be able to ignite the fire from a horizontal minimum distance of 140 mm (shortest distance between the
handle of the lighter or ignition device and the burner opening).
Devices which would enable the user to light the fire without visual contact with the flames are not
allowed.
If a remote-control device is provided, an accidental ignition shall not be possible, and a child safety
device shall be provided.
EXAMPLE Pressing two buttons is considered enough for chid safety.
5 Test methods and requirements
5.1 Stability tests
5.1.1 General
Table 1 shows an overview of the tests which shall be performed according to type of fireplace.
Table 1 — Tests to be performed according to fireplace type
 Fireplace
Test required Fixed Free standing Tabletop
Tilting + Sliding NO YES YES
Movement from impact YES YES YES
Tilting from impact NO YES YES
Stress YES NO NO
Spillage NO YES YES
For all of the tests, the fuel tank shall be filled with fuel or water to the maximum level according to user
instruction or lower if any level is considered more critical.
It is recommended that all tests are performed by laboratory accredited according to EN ISO/IEC 17025.
5.1.2 Tilting and sliding test
The fireplace shall be placed on an inclinable cleaned, smooth surface of glass and without being fixed.
The surface shall be tilted up to 5° to all sides for free-standing fireplaces and tabletop fireplaces up to
10°.
The speed at which the surface is tilted shall not exceed 1,5 ± 0,5° increase of tilt angle/second.
The test is considered as passed if there is no movement, tilting nor spillage.

5.1.3 Movement from impact test
The fireplace shall be placed on a cleaned, smooth, rigid, horizontal and level surface (e.g. glass plate).
A test bag (see Figure 1) shall be deflected by 600 mm and then swings freely towards to the centre of
balance (see Figure 2).

The test is considered as passed, if there is no spillage and the fireplace does not move more than 50 %
of the safety distance stated in the user instruction. In any case, the fireplace shall not move more than
1 m.
5.1.4 Tilting from impact stress
The fireplace shall be placed on a cleaned, smooth, rigid, horizontal and level surface (e.g. glass plate). A
stopping device/barrier, the purpose of which is to restrict the movement of the fireplace, shall be fixed
on the floor next to the fireplace. Its height shall not exceed 12 mm (according to EN 1023-3:2000),
provided that the construction of the fireplace does not require a higher stopping device/barrier. In that
case, the height to be chosen shall be the lowest one which prevents the fireplace from moving (see
Figure 3).
During the impact test with a pendulum from the side of the fireplace opposed to the stopping
device/barrier, the fireplace shall not spill.
The test bag of 20 kg weight shall be suspended from a 2 m long rope in such a manner that it hangs
directly next to the most critical point of the fireplace (with regards to tilting it - which is usually the point
at the biggest distance from centre of balance) in 1 m height from the floor or next to its upper edge, if
the fireplace is lower than 1 m. The test bag is deflected by 600 mm and then swings freely towards the
fireplace.

The fireplace shall be fixed to the test wall/ceiling as specified in the instruction.
The fireplace shall then be lit; after 3/4 of the maximum combustion time the fireplace shall be shut down
and a test weight, made by two weights of 30 kg each connected with a rope (the two weights shall be
suspended), shall be applied within 2 min after shutdown (see Figure 4).
The weight shall be left on the fireplace for 10 min and then removed.
