Replace 4.1 with the following:
4.1 Environment
The ambient temperature shall be (20 ± 3) °C. The air speed where the ambient temperature is measured
(see Figure 3) shall not exceed 0,25 m/s and test room conditions shall be such that condensation is
avoided.
The storage tank shall be protected from radiation from the environment.
Replace 4.2 with the following:
4.2 Measuring accuracy
4.2.1 Temperature
Temperatures shall be measured within an accuracy of ± 1 K. It shall be guaranteed by appropriate
installation of the temperature probes that on the measuring points the medium caloric temperature of
the water is measured. The time constant for the temperature measurement shall not be larger than 5 s.
4.2.2 Mass and volume flow
The mass and volume flow of the water shall be measured within an accuracy of 1 %.

EN 15332:2019/prA1:2022 (E)
3 Modifications to Clause 5
Replace 5.1 and 5.2 with the following
5.1 General
The delivered storage tank shall be installed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and shall
be tested as produced by the manufacturer.
Modifications may be implemented to adapt the storage tank to the test to be performed according to this
document.
For storage tanks in a product range which have the same constructional design, the testing of only the
smallest and the largest storage tank shall be sufficient, provided the ratio of the nominal volume of the
smallest to largest storage tank is less than or equal to 2:1. If, however, within the same product range,
this ratio is larger than 2: 1, then so many intermediate sizes shall be tested so that the ratio of 2: 1 from
the higher volume size to the lower volume size is not exceeded.
The manufacturer shall ensure that all storage tanks of a product range, even those which have not been
tested, conform to the requirements of this standard. The results of non-tested storage tanks shall be
determined by interpolation based on the nominal volume.
If the models of a range are not using the same insulation, e.g. for the usage of vacuum insulation panels
(VIP) then results of additional simulation tools can be used. The values obtained by the simulations shall
be demonstrated by comparative measurements. The end results shall fulfil the required tolerances (max.
5 %).
NOTE The standing heat loss (S) and the volume (V) as defined below are used to establish the parameters
needed for the eco-design and labelling regulations. For further information see also Annex ZA and ZB.
5.2 Connection of the storage tank
The connection to the heating source is done as indicated in the description by the manufacturer.
Furthermore, for the purposes of testing, if there is no means of heating the lower 15 % of the storage
volume an additional heater shall be fitted in the tank provided for testing. In any case the criteria
T5 ≥ (T4 – 10 K) shall be met; see 5.3.1.
In 5.3.1, replace the key of Figure 1 with the following:
Key
T1, T2, and T3 Ambient temperature around the storage tank
T4 Water temperature sensor at the top of the storage tank
T5 Water temperature sensor at bottom of the storage tank
H Height of the storage tank itself
h Distance given by height of the euro pallet ≥ 144mm
1 Inlet valve (cold water)
2 Outlet valve (hot water)
In 5.3.1, replace all the paragraphs after Figure 1 until Figure 2 with the following:
The water temperature shall be measured at the top and at the bottom of the storage tank. The positioning
of the upper temperature sensor (T4) is not more than 25 mm below the hot water draw off point (see
Figure 2). The positioning of the lower temperature sensor (T5) is not more than 25mm above the bottom
of the storage tank.
Start to heat up the tank and when the temperatures at T4 = T and T5 ≥ (T4 - 15 K) are reached then the
sn
24 h stabilization period begins.
EN 15332:2019/prA1:2022 (E)
The standing heat loss measurement starts after the first shut off of the thermostat after the stabilization
period.
The nominal temperature (T ) of the water storage tank measured at T4 shall be (65 ± 3) °C or at least
sn
45 K above ambient temperature. The switching difference (hysteresis) on the controller shall not
exceed ± 1 °C. This may require an electronic thermostat that either uses the same temperature sensor
or an additional temperature sensor located in the immediate vicinity.
The standing heat loss corresponds to the electrical energy consumption in the steady-state condition.
In 5.3.2, replace the first paragraph with the following
Position the tank on a euro pallet (according to EN 13698-1 or a similar arrangement that raises the tank
off the floor by (≥144) mm). A board of adequate strength with closed surface (e.g. MDF, hardboard, chip
wood) is placed between the euro pallet and storage tank. The hardboard shall be at least of the
dimensions of the insulated storage tanks. No isolation between the floor and the euro pallet/board is
allowed. The distance from the test object to the wall shall be at least 700 mm. The distance to the ceiling
shall be at least 250 mm.
In 5.3.2, replace Table 1 and the paragraph below Table 1 with the following
Table 1 — Thickness of insulation according to size of pipe or connection
Inner diameter Thickness of insulation
≤ 22 mm 20 mm
> 22 mm ≤ 35 mm 30 mm
> 35 mm ≤ 100 mm Equal to inner diameter
> 100 mm 100 mm
Wall mounted storage tanks shall be hung on a separate wall which is at least 150 mm from the room
wall with the delivered mounting kit. The free space below and above the storage tank shall be at least
250 mm.
NOTE The separate wall can be realized with a board of adequate strength with closed surface (e.g. MDF,
hardboard, chipboard) without insulation.
Replace 5.3.3 including Figure 3 with the following
5.3.3 Execution of the measurement
The consumption of electrical energy E within time period t to t and the consumption of electrical
1 2 3
energy E within time period t to t shall be measured after reaching the steady-state condition, see
2 3 4
Figure 3. The difference of the electrical energy E between the two periods shall not be greater than 3 %.
The value to be declared is the average of the two valid measurements.
The test remains on for at least two consecutive 24 h periods. Each 24 h period begins and ends with the
switch off (first switch off after 24 h) of the temperature controller.
The steady- state condition shall be considered as reached, when conditions a) and b) are satisfied:
a) the average storage temperature T measured at sensor T4 does not vary by more than ± 2,5 °C;
sm
b) the bottom temperature measured at sensor T5 does not vary by more than ± 3 °C.
Compliance with the following temperatures during the measurement shall be given.
— T = 20 ± 3 K
amb
— T4 = 65 ± 3 K
