This standard also applies to warm air heaters having forced draught burners.
This European Standard applies to Type A2, A3 appliances, with an input not exceeding 300 kW (net CV basis), intended for non-domestic use.
This European Standard also applies to Type B11, B11AS, B11BS, B12, B12AS, B12BS, B13, B13AS, B13BS, B14, B14AS, B14BS, B22, B23, B41, B41AS, B41BS, B42, B42AS, B42BS, B43, B43AS, B43BS, B44, B44AS, B44BS, B52, B53, C11, C12, C13, C21, C31, C32, C33, C41, C62 and C63 appliances with an input not exceeding 300 kW (net CV basis), intended for domestic and non-domestic use.
Provision of the heated air may be by means of ducting.
This European Standard does not apply to:
a) dual purpose air conditioning appliances (heating and cooling);
b) appliances where the air is heated by an intermediate fluid;
c) portable or transportable forced convection appliances;
d) appliances fitted with manual or automatic means of adjusting the combustion products evacuation by means of flue dampers;
e) appliances having multiple heating units with a single draught diverter;
f) appliances fitted with more than one flue outlet;
