80
3 log P
10 i
where :

i n a
output as stated by the manufacturer for range rated boilers."
7.7.1 Useful efficiency at the nominal heat input
Add at the end of this subclause a new paragraph as follows :
" It is checked that the requirements of 6.7.1 are met."
7.7.2 Useful efficiency at part load
Replace the text by the following :
“7.7.2.1 General
To determine the useful efficiency at a load corresponding to 30 % of the nominal heat input, or
the arithmetic mean of the maximum and minimum heat input for range rated boilers, the
manufacturer shall declare whether the direct method or the indirect method is used.
It is checked that the requirements of 6.7.2 are met.
7.7.2.2 Direct method
7.7.2.2.1 General
The boiler is installed as stated in 7.1.6 and supplied with one of the reference gases as for the
determination of the useful efficiency at nominal heat input or at the arithmetic mean of the
maximum and minimum heat input in the case of range rated boilers.
Throughout the test, the water volume rate is maintained constant within ± 1 %, taking into
account temperature variations, and the pump operates continuously.
7.7.2.2.2 Operating mode n 1
The boiler is fitted to the test rig illustrated in figure 15 (or any other test rig giving at least
comparable results and equivalent measurement accuracy’s).
The boiler return temperature is held constant at (47 ± 1)°C, with a maximum variation in this
temperature of ± 1 K during the measurement period.
If the boiler control does not permit operation at a return temperature that is low enough, the test
is carried out at the lowest return temperature compatible with the operation of the boiler.
A timepiece is fitted to the ambient temperature thermostat to obtain a working cycle of 10
minutes.
The shutdown and operating times are calculated as indicated in table 18.

n a
The temperatures are measured continuously directly on the flow and return of the boiler.
The boiler is considered to be in thermal equilibrium when the efficiency measurement of three
consecutive cycles, combining any two results from three, does not vary by more than 0,5 %. In this
case, the result is equal to the average value of at least three consecutive measurement cycles. For
any other case, the average value shall be calculated from at least ten consecutive cycles.
The respective gas and water consumption’s over complete cycles are measured.
The efficiency is determined using the formula in 7.7.1.
A variation of ± 1 %, with respect to the 30 % of the nominal heat input is permitted. For variations up
to ± 2 % it is necessary to carry out two measurements, one above and one below 30 % of the nominal
heat input. The efficiency corresponding to 30 % is determined by interpolation.
7.7.2.2.3 Operating mode n
2
The boiler is fitted to the test rig illustrated in figure 1 or 2 (or any other test rig giving at least
comparable results and equivalent measurement accuracy’s).
The boiler flow and return temperatures and the operating and off cycles are given by the boiler
control. The temperatures are measured continuously as close as possible to the flow and at the return
of the boiler when (30 ± 2) % of the nominal input or the arithmetic mean of the maximum and
minimum input for range rated boilers, is drawn through the heat exchanger.
The average water temperature shall be no less than 50
C.
If the boiler control does not permit operation at a return temperature that is low enough, the test is
carried out at the lowest return temperature compatible with the operation of the boiler.
The boiler is considered to be in thermal equilibrium when the efficiency measurement of three
consecutive cycles, combining any two results from three, does not vary by more than 0,5 %. In this
case, the result is equal to the average value of at least three consecutive measurement cycles. For
any other case, the average valu
