It also applies to appliances intended for outdoor installation. Provision of the heated air may be by means of ducting or may be directly into the heated space. For Type C62 and C63 appliances, this European Standard only applies when such appliances are intended for final installation in a similar manner to Type C3 appliances. This standard does not apply to: a) appliances intended for use in a single unit residential dwelling; b) appliances of the condensing type; c) appliances with atmospheric burners without a fan to assist the transportation of combustion air and/or flue gases; d) dual purpose air conditioning appliances (heating and cooling); e) appliances where the air is heated by an intermediate fluid; f) appliances fitted with manual or automatic flue dampers; g) portable or transportable forced convection appliances; h) appliances having multiple heating units with a single draught diverter; i) appliances fitted with more than one flue outlet; j) appliances that are designed for continuous condensation within the flue system under normal operating conditions; k) appliances having combustion products evacuation ducts, POCEDs, that are non-metallic. This standard is applicable to appliances which are intended to be type tested. It also includes requirements concerning the evaluation of conformity, including factory production control, but these requirements only apply to POCEDs and their associated terminals. NOTE Requirements for appliances which are not type tested would need to be subject to further consideration. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

Appliance and its constituent parts 3.1.1
non-domestic air heater appliance designed for the heating and possibly ventilation of a building other than a single unit residential dwelling 3.1.2 forced convection air heater appliance designed to provide space heating from a central source by distributing heated air, by means of an air moving device, either through ducting or directly into the heated space 3.1.3 gas inlet connection part of the appliance intended to be connected to the gas supply 3.1.4 mechanical joint mechanical means of obtaining soundness means of ensuring the soundness of an assembly of several (generally metallic) parts without the use of liquids (e.g. pastes and tapes) EXAMPLES Metal to metal joints; conical joints; toroidal sealing rings (“O” rings); flat joints. 3.1.5
gas circuit part of the burner unit that conveys or contains the gas between the burner unit gas inlet connection and the burners 3.1.6 restrictor device with an orifice, which is placed in the gas circuit so as to create a pressure drop and thus reduce the gas pressure at the burner to a predetermined value for a given supply pressure and rate 3.1.7
gas rate adjuster component allowing an authorised person to set the gas rate of the burner to a predetermined value according to the supply conditions NOTE 1 Adjustment can be progressive (screw adjuster) or in discrete steps (by changing restrictors). SIST EN 1020:2010
NOTE 1 The adjuster is then said to be "sealed" in its adjustment position. NOTE 2 A factory sealed adjuster is considered to be non-existent. NOTE 3 A regulator is considered to be non-existent if it has been factory sealed in a position such that it is not operational in the range of supply pressures corresponding to the appliance category. 3.1.10 putting an adjuster or a control out of service putting an adjuster or a control (of temperature, pressure, etc.) out of action and sealing it in this position
