- using one or more combustible gases corresponding to the three gas families and at the pressures stated in accordance to EN 437;
- of nominal heat input not exceeding 70 kW;
- with an ignition burner or with direct ignition of the main burner.
In this European Standard, the heat inputs are expressed in relation to the net calorific value (Hi).
This European Standard does not contain all the requirements necessary for:
- boiling water appliances;
- appliances intended to be connected to a mechanical means of evacuating the combustion products;
- appliances which fulfil a dual role of space heating and heating water for sanitary use;

This European Standard only covers water heaters where the fan, if any, is an integral part of the appliance.
This European Standard:
- does not apply to appliances not intended to be connected to a flue when they are not fitted with an atmosphere sensing device;
- takes account of the information given in Technical Report CEN/CR 1472:1994 with respect to marking.
Type B appliances should be with a combustion products discharge safety device to comply with essential requirement 3.4.3 of the Gas Appliances Directive 2009/142/EC. In this European Standard, the appliance is identified as type B11BS.
Appliances intended to be installed outdoors or in a room separate from inhabited rooms and provided with appropriate ventilation are not required to have this combustion products discharge safety device but, in this case, appropriate warnings on the packaging, and in the instructions should clearly define the limited authorized use for this type of appliance. In this European Standard, the appliance is identified as type B11.

Ta evropski standard zajema samo grelnike vode, pri katerih je ventilator, če obstaja, sestavni del naprave.
Ta evropski standard:
– se ne uporablja za naprave, ki niso namenjene za povezavo z ventilacijsko cevjo, če niso opremljene z napravo za zaznavanje ozračja;
– upošteva informacije, podane v tehničnem poročilu CEN/CR 1472:1994 v zvezi z označevanjem.
Naprave tipa B naj bi vključevale varnostno napravo za odvajanje produktov zgorevanja, da je zagotovljena skladnost z osnovno zahtevo iz točke 3.4.3 direktive o plinskih napravah 2009/142/ES. V tem evropskem standardu je naprava opredeljena kot tip B11BS.
