This document is composed of two parts.
The first part supplements EN 303-1, EN 303-2, EN 303-4 and EN 304, hereafter called boiler standards. It specifies the supplementary requirements and tests for the construction, safety, rational use of energy, fitness for purpose, classification and marking related to the domestic hot water operation of oil-fired water heaters and combination boilers.
The domestic hot water is produced on either the instantaneous or storage principle. The domestic hot water production is integrated or coupled, the whole being marketed as a single unit.
The second part covers the energy performance of domestic hot water production of the appliances covered by the first part.
This second part sets out a method for assessing the energy performance of the appliances. It defines a number of daily tapping cycles for each domestic hot water use such as kitchen, shower, bath and a combination of these, together with corresponding test procedures, enabling the energy performances of combination boilers and water heaters to be compared and matched to the needs of the user.
The heat output of the appliances covered by this standard does not exceed 400 kW.
In the case of combination boilers, with or without storage tank, domestic hot water production is integrated or coupled, the whole being marketed as a single unit.
This standard only covers type testing.

This European Standard specifies the requirements and test methods for the construction, safety, fitness
for purpose, rational use of energy and the marking of a micro combined heat and power appliance;
(hereafter referred to as “mCHP appliance”).
This European Standard applies to mCHP appliances of types B22, B23, B32, B33, B52, B53, C1, C3, C42, C43
C52, C53, C62, C63, C82, C83 and C9 based on the classifications of CEN/TR 1749:
– that use one or more supplied gases of the three gas families at the pressures stated in EN 437,
– where the temperature of the heat transfer fluid of the heating system (heating water circuit) does
not exceed 105 ºC during normal operation,
– where the maximum operating pressure in the
- heating water circuit does not exceed 6 bar,
- domestic hot water circuit (if installed) does not exceed 10 bar,
– which are either intended to be installed indoors or outdoors in a partially protected place,
– which are intended to produce hot water either by the instantaneous or storage principle,
– which have a maximum heat input (based on net calorific value) not exceeding 70 kW,
– which are designed for sealed or open water systems.
NOTE 1 For applications where the maximum allowable water temperature exceeds 110 ºC or where volume multiplied by
maximum allowable pressure exceeds 50 bar litres, further requirements may be necessary to comply with the essential
requirements of Directive 97/23/EC (Pressure Equipment Directive (PED)).
NOTE 2 For mCHP appliances with constructions that might not be fully covered by this European Standard or by another specific
standard, the risk associated with the alternative construction will be assessed.
NOTE 3 prEN 13203-4 will specify the assessment of energy consumption for domestic hot water production of gas combined
heat and power appliances (mCHP).
This European Standard does not contain the requirements necessary for appliance capable of producing
electrical energy without using the thermal energy.
This European Standard does not cover all the requirements for mCHP appliances that are intended to be
connected to gas grids where the quality of the distributed gas is likely to vary to a large extent over the
lifetime of the appliance (see Annex DD).

Frequently Asked Questions
An EU Regulation is a binding legislative act that must be applied in its entirety across the European Union. Unlike directives, regulations do not need to be transposed into national law and are directly applicable in all member states. Regulations are used when uniform application across all EU countries is essential.
Regulation 811/2013 covers "Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 811/2013 of 18 February 2013 supplementing Directive 2010/30/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to the energy labelling of space heaters, combination heaters, packages of space heater, temperature control and solar device and packages of combination heater, temperature control and solar device". This legislation has harmonized European standards (hENs) that provide a presumption of conformity with its essential requirements. There are 142 standards associated with this regulation.
Harmonized standards under 811/2013 are European standards (ENs) developed by CEN, CENELEC, or ETSI in response to a mandate from the European Commission. When these standards are cited in the Official Journal of the European Union, products manufactured in conformity with them benefit from a presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of 811/2013, facilitating CE marking and free movement within the European Economic Area.
