(Main)Gas-fired heating boilers - Part 1: General requirements and tests
Gas-fired heating boilers - Part 1: General requirements and tests
This European Standard specifies the common requirements and test methods, as well as the classification, marking and energy labelling of gas-fired central heating boilers that are fitted with atmospheric burners, fan assisted atmospheric burners or fully premixed burners, and are hereafter referred to as “boilers”.
This European Standard is to be used in conjunction with the specific Parts 2 (Part 2-1 and following ones).
This European Standard applies to boilers of types B and C.
NOTE For further background information on appliance types see CEN/TR 1749:2014 [1].
a) that use one or more combustible gases of the three gas families at the pressures stated in EN 437;
b) where the temperature of the water is below or above 105 °C during normal operation;
c) where the maximum operating pressure in the water circuit does not exceed 6 bar;
d) which can give rise to condensation under certain circumstances;
e) which are declared in the instructions for installation to be either a "condensing" boiler or a "low temperature boiler" or a "standard boiler" or an "other boiler". If no declaration is given the boiler is to be considered both a "standard boiler" and an "other boiler";
NOTE The Ecodesign Directive defines "other boilers", "low temperature boilers" and "condensing boilers". The Boiler Efficiency Directive defines "standard boilers", "low temperature boilers" and "condensing boilers". Depending on the legislation applied, a boiler can be both "a standard boiler" and an "other boiler"."
f) which are intended to be installed inside a building or in a partially protected place;
g) which are intended to produce also hot water either by the instantaneous or storage principle as a single unit.
This European Standard applies to boilers designed for sealed water systems or for open water systems.
NOTE This general standard and the specific standards (see Part 2) provide requirements for boilers with known constructions. For boilers with any alternative constructions, which might not fully be covered by this standard or a specific standard, the risk associated with this alternative construction will need to be assessed.
An example of an assessment methodology, based upon risk assessment, is given in Clause 11.
This European Standard is not intended to cover appliances intended for connection 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 EE).
This European Standard is not intended to cover appliances designed and constructed to burn gas containing toxic components.
Heizkessel fur gasförmige Brennstoffe - Teil 1: Allgemeine Anforderungen und Prüfungen
Dieses Dokument legt die allgemeinen Anforderungen und Prüfmethoden sowie die Klassifizierung, Kennzeichnung und Energiekennzeichnung" von Heizkesseln fest, die mit atmosphärischen Brennern mit oder ohne Ventilator oder mit Vormischbrenner ausgerüstet sind und nachfolgend kurz „Kessel“ genannt werden.
Dieses Dokument ist in Verbindung mit den Teilen 2 (Teil 2-1 und folgende) anzuwenden.
Dieses Dokument gilt für Kessel der Bauart B und C:
ANMERKUNG Für weitere Hintergrundinformationen zu Gerätearten siehe CEN/TR 1749:2014 [1].
a) die mit einem oder mehreren brennbaren Gasen der drei Gasfamilien mit den in EN 437 genannten Drücken betrieben werden;
b) bei denen die Temperatur des Wassers unter normalen Betriebsbedingungen 105 °C nicht überschreitet;
c) deren maximaler wasserseitiger Betriebsdruck 6 bar nicht überschreitet;
d) bei denen sich unter bestimmten Bedingungen Kondenswasser bildet;
e) die in der Installationsanleitung entweder als „Brennwertkessel“ oder als „Niedertemperaturkessel“ oder als „Standardkessel“ oder als „andere Kessel“ bezeichnet werden. Wenn keine Angabe gemacht wird, wird der Kessel sowohl als „Standardkessel“ als auch als „anderer Kessel“ betrachtet;“
ANMERKUNG Die Verordnung für umweltgerechte Gestaltung definiert „andere Kessel“, „Niedertemperaturkessel“ und „Brennwertkessel“. Die Wirkungsgradrichtlinie (en: Boiler Efficiency Directive) definiert „Standardkessel“, „Niedertemperaturkessel“ und „Brennwertkessel“. Basierend auf der angewendeten Gesetzgebung kann ein Kessel sowohl ein „Standardkessel“ als auch ein „anderer Kessel“ sein.
f) die dafür vorgesehen sind, im Gebäude oder an einer teilweise geschützten Stelle aufgestellt zu werden;
g) die dafür vorgesehen sind, nach dem Durchlaufprinzip oder nach dem Speicherprinzip auch Warmwasser herzustellen, wobei das Ganze als eine Einheit vertrieben wird.
Dieses Dokument ist für Kessel anwendbar, die für geschlossene oder offene Wassersysteme ausgelegt sind.
ANMERKUNG Diese allgemeine Norm und die speziellen Normen (siehe Teil 2) beschreiben die Anforderungen für Kessel mit bekannter Bauweise. Für Kessel mit alternativer Bauweise, die eventuell nicht vollständig durch diese oder eine spezielle Norm abgedeckt werden, bedarf das Risiko, das mit dieser alternativen Bauweise verbunden ist, einer Abschätzung.
Ein Beispiel für eine auf einer Risikoanalyse beruhenden Bewertungsmethode wird in Abschnitt 11 beschrieben.
Dieses Dokument ist nicht für Geräte zum Anschluss an Gasversorgungsnetze bestimmt, bei denen die Qualität des verteilten Gases wahrscheinlich über die Lebensdauer des Geräts stark variiert (siehe Anhang EE).
Dieses Dokument behandelt nicht alle Anforderungen für:
a) Geräte über 1 000 kW;
b) Geräte, die für die Verbrennung von Gas ausgelegt und konstruiert sind, das Kohlenmonoxid und andere giftige Komponenten enthält.

d) pouvant condenser dans certaines circonstances ;
e) déclarées dans la notice d’installation comme étant « chaudière à condensation » ou « chaudière à basse température » ou « chaudière standard » ou « autre chaudière ». En l’absence d’information, la chaudière doit être considérée comme une « chaudière standard » ou une « autre chaudière » ;
f) destinées à être installées dans un bâtiment ou à un emplacement partiellement protégé ;
g) destinées à produire aussi instantanément de l’eau chaude ou capables de la stocker, sous forme monobloc.
Le présent document s’applique aux chaudières à circuit d’eau fermé ou ouvert.
NOTE La présente norme et les normes spécifiques (voir Parties 2) fournissent des exigences relatives aux chaudières dont la construction est connue. Pour les chaudières de construction différente susceptibles de ne pas être couvertes par la présente norme ou une norme spécifique, le risque associé à cette construction différente doit être évalué.
L’Article 11 donne un exemple de méthodologie d’évaluation basée sur l’évaluation des risques.
Le présent document ne s’applique pas aux appareils destinés à être raccordés au réseau de gaz lorsque la qualité du gaz distribué peut varier de façon importante pendant la durée de vie de l’appareil (voir Annexe AB).
Le présent document ne couvre pas toutes les exigences pour :
aa) les appareils d’une puissance supérieure à 1 000 kW ;
ab) les appareils conçus et construits pour brûler un gaz contenant du monoxyde de carbone ou d’autres composants toxiques ;
