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

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.

Festlegungen für Flüssiggasgeräte - Flüssiggasbetriebene Kochgeräte einschließlich solcher mit Grillteilen zur Verwendung im Freien

Dieses Dokument legt Konstruktions- und Leistungsmerkmale, Sicherheitsanforderungen und rationelle Energienutzung sowie maßgebende Prüfverfahren und die Kennzeichnung von flüssiggasbetriebenen Kochgeräten, Seitenbrennern, verdeckten Brennern, offenen Brennern, Kontaktgrills, Strahlungsgrills, im Haupttext als „Geräte“ bezeichnet, fest.
Dieses Dokument gilt für Geräte zur Verwendung im Freien, betrieben mit den Gasen der dritten Familie (siehe EN 437:2021 für weitere Informationen).
Geräte zum Einsatz in Freizeitfahrzeugen und Booten fallen nicht in den Anwendungsbereich dieser Norm.
Brenner mit einer Nennwärmebelastung unter 1,16 kW, Kontaktgrills und Strahlungsgrills unterliegen aufgrund ihrer geringen Leistung und der kurzen Betriebszeiten keinen besonderen Anforderungen an die rationelle Energienutzung.
Dieses Dokument beinhaltet nicht alle Anforderungen an Geräte anderer Art mit integrierter Kochfläche (zum Beispiel behandelt diese Norm keine Grillgeräte, ein Seitenbrenner eines Grillgeräts hingegen wird von dieser Norm abgedeckt).
Dieses Dokument gilt nicht für Regelgeräte, die mit diesen Geräten verwendet werden.

Spécifications pour les appareils fonctionnant exclusivement aux gaz de pétrole liquéfiés - Réchauds indépendants, équipés ou non d'un grilloir, utilisés en plein air

Le présent document a pour but de définir les caractéristiques de construction et de fonctionnement, les spécifications de sécurité et l'utilisation rationnelle de l'énergie, les méthodes d'essai afférentes ainsi que le marquage des réchauds indépendants, brûleurs latéraux, brûleurs couverts, brûleurs découverts, grilloirs par contact, grilloirs par rayonnement, fonctionnant aux gaz de pétrole liquéfiés, désignés dans l'ensemble du texte par « appareils ».
Le présent document couvre les appareils utilisés en plein air et fonctionnant avec les gaz de la 3e famille (voir l'EN 437:2021 pour plus d'informations).
Les appareils utilisés dans les véhicules de loisirs et les bateaux sont exclus du domaine d'application de la présente norme.
Les brûleurs de réchauds indépendants dont le débit calorifique nominal est inférieur à 1,16 kW, de même que les grilloirs et les grills radiants, compte tenu de leur faible puissance et de leur utilisation sur de courtes durées, ne font l'objet d'aucune exigence particulière en matière d'utilisation rationnelle de l'énergie.
Le présent document ne définit pas l'ensemble des exigences applicables aux équipements intégrés d'une autre nature (par exemple, les barbecues ne sont pas couverts par cette norme, mais un brûleur latéral d'un barbecue est couvert par cette norme).
Le présent document ne couvre pas les détendeurs utilisés avec ces appareils.

European foreword
This document (EN 484:2022) 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 document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document supersedes EN 484:2019+AC:2019.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the
European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Regulation (EU) 2016/426
of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 March 2016 on appliances burning gaseous fuels and
repealing Directive 2009/142/EC.
For relationship with EU Regulation (EU) 2016/426, see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part
of this document.
The changes from the 2019 version is the addition of a ZA Annex in relation with EU Regulation (EU)
2016/426 and adaptation of corresponding clauses.

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 (see
EN 437:2021 for further information).
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.
