813/2013 - Commission Regulation (EU) No 813/2013 of 2 August 2013 implementing Directive 2009/125/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to ecodesign requirements for space heaters and combination heaters Harmonized Directive
Commission Regulation (EU) No 813/2013 implements Directive 2009/125/EC by setting ecodesign requirements for space heaters and combination heaters with a rated heat output up to 400 kW. The regulation targets energy-related products with significant environmental impact, focusing on reducing energy consumption, nitrogen oxide emissions, and sound power levels. It covers various types of heaters including boiler, cogeneration, and heat pump heaters that provide heat to water-based central heating systems, and combination heaters that also supply hot drinking or sanitary water. The regulation excludes heaters predominantly using biomass fuels, solid fuels, or falling under Directive 2010/75/EU scope. Phased implementation includes efficiency and emission standards starting from September 2015, with stricter requirements applying from 2017 and 2018. The goals are to harmonize environmental criteria across the EU market, improve energy efficiency, lower greenhouse gas and pollutant emissions, and facilitate market surveillance. The Commission will review the regulation within five years to consider advancements in technology, measurement methods for emissions, and potential stricter standards. This measure aims to support energy savings of about 1,900 PJ annually by 2020 and reduce CO2 emissions significantly.
Purpose
Commission Regulation (EU) No 813/2013 establishes ecodesign requirements for space heaters and combination heaters with a rated heat output of up to 400 kW. It aims to improve the environmental performance of these heating products by reducing energy consumption, emissions of nitrogen oxides, and sound power levels, thereby contributing to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and other pollutants. The regulation supports the objectives of Directive 2009/125/EC by setting measures that are cost-effective and achievable through design improvements, without compromising product functionality or affordability. It replaces most provisions of the earlier Council Directive 92/42/EEC related to boiler efficiency and extends the scope beyond boilers to include other heater types.
Key Obligations
- Ecodesign Requirements: Heaters must comply with specific energy efficiency, nitrogen oxide emission limits, and sound power level standards as detailed in Annex II of the regulation.
- Conformity Assessment: Manufacturers must conduct conformity assessments using internal design control or management systems per Directive 2009/125/EC, supported by detailed technical documentation.
- Verification for Market Surveillance: Member States must carry out compliance checks following verification procedures in Annex IV.
- Information Provision: Manufacturers are required to provide information on disassembly, recycling, and disposal to reduce environmental impact along the product lifecycle.
- Benchmarking: Indicative best available technology benchmarks are provided to guide manufacturers and market surveillance bodies.
- Review and Update: The Commission must review the regulation within five years of entry into force to assess progress and consider new ecodesign requirements, including emissions of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and particulate matter once standard measurement methods become available.
- Transitional Provisions: Until September 26, 2015, Member States could still allow the placing on the market or use of heaters not fully compliant with the new rules.

In the case of packaged units (consisting of several parts), this document applies only to those designed and supplied as a complete package.
The appliances having their condenser cooled by air and by the evaporation of external additional water are not covered by EN 12309.
Installations used for heating and/or cooling of industrial processes are not within the scope of EN 12309. All the symbols given in this text are to be used regardless of the language used.

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.

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 813/2013 covers "Commission Regulation (EU) No 813/2013 of 2 August 2013 implementing Directive 2009/125/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to ecodesign requirements for space heaters and combination heaters". This legislation has harmonized European standards (hENs) that provide a presumption of conformity with its essential requirements. There are 140 standards associated with this regulation.
Harmonized standards under 813/2013 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 813/2013, facilitating CE marking and free movement within the European Economic Area.
