4.6 Ignition device
The appliance must be safe to ignite.
It must be possible to light the appliance with commonly available lighters, if the appliance is not equipped
with an integrated ignition device or a lighter is not included with the appliance. The user must be able to ignite
the fire from a horizontal minimum distance of 140mm (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 unwanted ignition must not be possible and a child safety device
must be provided.

5 Test methods
5.1 Tilting and sliding test
The appliance is placed on an inclinable surface of glass with low friction and without any fixation.
The surface shall successively be tilted by 5° to all four sides and for non-fixable appliances and tabletop
appliances by 10°.
The speed at which the surface is tilted must not exceed 1,5 ± 0,5° increase of tilt angle/second.
The test is considered passed if there is no spillage.

The test is considered passed if there is no spillage and the appliance doesn’t move more than 50 % of the
safety distance stated in the manual. In any case, the appliance shall not move more than 1m.
5.3 Tilting from impact stress
Appliances are to be placed on a rigid, horizontal, levelled surface with a low friction (e.g. glass plate). A
stopping device/barrier, the purpose of which is to restrict the movement of the appliance, is fixed on the floor
next to the appliance. Its height must not exceed 12 mm (as in EN 1023-3), provided that the construction of
the appliance does not require a higher stopping device/barrier. In that case, the height to be chosen is the
lowest one which prevents the appliance from moving.
During impact test with a pendulum from the side of the appliance opposed to the stopping device/barrier, the
appliance must not spill.
A sandbag of 20 kg weight is suspended from a 2 m long rope in such a manner that it hangs right next to the
most critical point of the appliance (with regards to tilting it) (which is usually the point at the biggest distance
from barycentre) in 1m height or next to its upper edge should the appliance be lower than 1 m. The sandbag
is deflected by 600 mm and then swings freely towards the appliance.

5.4 Stress test
The appliance has to be fixed to the wall test/roof as specified by the manufacturer; the wall/roof type must be
specified by the manufacturer.
The appliance must then be lit; after ¾ of the maximum power combustion time the appliance must be shut
down and a test weight, made by two weights of 30 kg each connected with a rope (the two weights must be
suspended), must be applied before 2 min since the shutting down.
The weight must be left on the appliance for 10 min and then removed.
A lateral force of 45 kg must be applied to the appliance for 2 min.
The test is considered valid if the appliance presents no deformations of its structure and its connection
system and no spillage from the appliance after any of the test.
5.5 Spillage test
The appliance is placed on a inclinable surface with low friction (e.g. glass) without any fixation.
The surface will successively be tilted towards all four sides by 10°. The appliance must neither tilt nor slip.
The speed at which the surface is tilted must not exceed 1,5 ± 0,5° increase of tilt angle/second.
The test in considered valid if there is no spillage.

5.6 Fuel storage container
The fuel storage container has to be tight i.e. at maximum filling level no fuel must leak during a period of
24 h. Alternatively, the tightness can be tested by applying pressure of 0,5 bar to the container which must not
show any visible leaks (e.g. bubble formation when using leak detection spray).
The appliance must be constructed in such a way that any fuel leakage is avoided. In order to prevent
leakage, a safety chamber shall be provided which has a minimum volume of 110 % of the actually filling
volume and a sufficient ventilation. In case of an inaccessible safety chamber must be provided a solution with
a spilling sensor approved by a Notified Body.
The possible accumulation of fuel in the safety chamber must not present any additional risks (e.g. ignition,
explosion, etc.).
The product documentation has to contain a safety advice regarding the danger of ignition of fuel spillover.
Furthermore, the user shall be instructed to check the safety chamber for excess fuel before lighting the
fireplace.
The appliance has to be equipped with a durable and clearly visible device which helps preventing overfilling
and subsequent overrun of fuel during filling when carried out in accordance with the intended terms of use. A
level indicator or a fill level mark are regarded as suitable devices.
Clearly visible and durable safety symbols must be shown around the filling opening of the appliance
indicating that filling when warm or in operation is not allowed (Figure 4).

Figure 4 — Symbol "Do not fill when warm or in operation"
The size of the symbol has to be at least 25 mm. If the symbol is engraved or laser etched into the metal it
does not have to be coloured. Marking of components of the appliance which are removed during operation or
a marking of accessories (funnel, lighter, fuel refill container) are not considered sufficient.
The durability of the safety mark/symbol is not only to be tested and confirmed during operation in accordance
with the intended terms of use, but must additionally be confirmed in the following test procedure: for the
duration of 15 s the symbol is firstly rubbed with a cotton cloth soaked in water. Subsequently, it is again
rubbed for 15 s with a cotton cloth soaked in fuel. Stickers are not acceptable as substitutes of the symbols.
The test shall show whether the mark/symbol remains clearly legible following the described treatment.
The manufacturer must write in the user’s manual information about the safe refilling of the appliance.
