Introduction
This document is a type C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100.
The machinery concerned, and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and hazardous events
are covered, are indicated in the scope of this document.
This standard deals with boilers which are within the Scope Machinery Directive and boilers that are
outside of the Scope Machinery Directive.
The manufacturer is responsible for identifying all additional hazards outside of the scope of this
standard.
When provisions of this type C standard are different from those which are stated in type A or B
standards, the provisions of this type C standard take precedence over the provisions of the other
standards, for machines that have been designed and built according to the provisions of this type C
standard.

1 Scope
1.1 General
This European Standard applies to heating boilers including safety devices up to a nominal heat output
of 500 kW which are designed for the burning of solid fuels only and are operated according to the
instructions supplied with the boiler and misuse reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer.
This European Standard applies also for solid fuel boilers up to 70 kW nominal heat output taking the
combustion air from outside the building.
This European Standard deals with significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to
heating boilers used as intended and under the conditions specified in the technical documentation of the
boiler (see Clause 4).
The boilers may operate under natural draught or forced draught. The fuel feed may work manually or
automatically. The boilers may operate in non-condensing operation or condensing operation.
NOTE This European Standard deals with boilers which are within the scope of the Machinery Directive
2006/42/EC or outside of the scope of the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC (manual stoked natural draught
boiler).
This European Standard contains requirements and test methods for safety, combustion performance,
operating characteristics, marking and maintenance of heating boilers. It also covers all external
equipment that influences the safety systems (e.g. back burning safety device, integral fuel hopper).
This European Standard covers only boilers that include burners as a unit. The standard applies to the
combination of a boiler body with a solid fuel burner according to EN 15270 as a unit only when the
whole unit is tested in accordance with this European Standard.
Heating boilers in accordance with this European Standard are designed for central heating installations
where the heat carrier is water and the maximum allowable temperature is 110 °C, and which can operate
at a maximum allowable operating pressure of 6 bars. For heating boilers with a built-in or attached water
heater (storage or continuous flow heater), this European Standard only applies to those parts of the
water heater which are necessarily subject to the operating conditions of the heating boiler (heating
part).
This European Standard does not apply to:
— heating boilers and other heating appliances which are also designed for the direct heating of the
place of installation, also according to the European regulation 2015/1185/EU;
— cooking appliances;
— the design and construction of external fuel storage and transportation devices prior to the safety
devices of the boiler;
— manual stoked straw bale boilers;
— CHP appliances.
This European Standard specifies the necessary terminology for solid fuel heating boilers, the control and
safety related requirements, the design requirements, the technical heating requirements (considering
the environmental requirements) and testing, as well as the marking requirements.
