This document specifies the general specifications, constructional requirements and common test methods for indirectly heated, unvented (closed) hot water storage tanks of up to 2 000 l volume suitable for connection to a water supply at a pressure between 0,05 MPa and 1,0 MPa (0,5 bar and 10 bar), and fitted with control and safety devices designed to prevent the temperature of the stored drinking water from reaching 95 °C.
Whilst storage water heaters intended primarily for direct heating are not covered by this document, it includes the possible provision of backup immersion heaters.
NOTE: If the word "harmonized" (marked in green) is not found in the field with the name of the directive, it means that the European standard is not cited in the OJEU.
