Specification for dedicated liquefied petroleum gas appliances - Independent stoves, including those incorporating a grill for outdoor use

This standard specifies constructional and performance characteristics, safety specifications and rational use of energy, relevant test methods and marking of independent stoves, side burners, covered burners, open burners, contact grills, radiant grills, burning liquefied petroleum gas, referred to in the body of the text as "appliances".
This standard covers appliances, used outdoors and operating with the gases indicated in 4.1 and according to the categories specified in 4.2.
This standard applies to these appliances and their functional sections whether or not the latter are independent or incorporated into an assembly.
Appliances supplied with third family gas at pressures greater those defined in 4.2 are outside the field of application of this standard.
Appliances used in leisure vehicles and boats are outside the field of application of this standard.
Independent stove burners, whose nominal heat input is below 1,16 kW and grills, are not subject to any special requirement concerning the rational use of energy due to their low rate and their use for short periods of time.
This European Standard does not state all applicable requirements for integral equipments of other nature (for example barbecues covered by EN 498).
This standard does not cover regulators that must be used with those appliances and covered by EN 16129.

European foreword
This document (EN 484:2019) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 181 “Appliances
and leisure vehicle installations using liquefied petroleum gas and appliances using natural gas for
outdoor use”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an
identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by October 2019, and conflicting national standards
shall be withdrawn at the latest by October 2019.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document supersedes EN 484:1997.
The following main technical changes have been made compared to EN 484:1997:
— inconsistencies raised by the European Commission against gas appliance Regulation have been
addressed;
— differences on test pressures between French and English versions have been addressed;
— the scope has been specified to indicate that regulators are not covered by this standard;
— the wording “hotplate” (not adapted for appliances covered by EN 484) has been replaced by
“stove”;
— the definition 3.9 “auxiliary equipment” has been replaced by “fitting” in the sense of the gas
appliance Directive;
— compliance to EN 1106 or EN 126 for the taps has been added;
— paragraphs 7.2.X regarding to the type of examination (visual and/or mechanical) have been
reworded;
— a 300 mm diameter pan and the corresponding sampling of product of combustion has been
added.
According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the
following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria,

1 Scope
This document specifies constructional and performance characteristics, safety specifications and
rational use of energy, relevant test methods and marking of independent stoves, side burners,
covered burners, open burners, griddles, radiant grills, burning liquefied petroleum gas, referred to in
the body of the text as “appliances”.
This document covers appliances, used outdoors and operating with the gases of the third family
according to EN 437:2018.
Appliances used in leisure vehicles and boats are outside the field of application of this standard.
Independent stove burners, whose nominal heat input is below 1,16 kW, griddles and radiant grills,
are not subject to any special requirement concerning the rational use of energy due to their low rate
and their use for short periods of time.
This document does not state all requirements for appliances of other nature incorporating a stove
(for example barbecues are not covered by this standard but a side burner of a barbecue is covered by
this standard).
This document does not cover regulators that are used with those appliances.
