— fitted with atmospheric burners;
— using one or more combustible gases corresponding to the three gas families and the pressures indicated
in EN 437;
— of nominal heat input not exceeding 150 kW (net calorific value);
— fitted with electrically operated mechanical flue dampers that are positioned downstream of the heat
exchanger.
