Roomheaters fired by solid fuel - Requirements and test methods
This European Standard specifies requirements relating to the design, manufacture, construction, safety and performance (efficiency and emission) instructions and marking together with associated test methods and test fuels for type testing residential roomheaters fired by solid fuel.
This Standard is applicable to non-mechanically fired appliances which are listed under categories 1a and 2a of Table 1. These appliances provide heat into the space where they are installed. Additionally, where fitted with a boiler, they also provide domestic hot water and/or central heating. These appliances may burn either solid mineral fuels, peat briquettes, natural or manufactured wood logs or be multi-fuel in accordance with the appliance manufacturer's instructions.
This standard is not applicable to appliances with fan assisted combustion air.
Raumheizer für feste Brennstoffe - Anforderungen und Prüfung
Diese Europäische Norm beschreibt Anforderungen an Auslegung, Herstellung, Ausführung, Sicherheit und Leistungsvermögen (Wirkungsgrad und Emission), Anleitung und Kennzeichnung zusammen mit zugehörigen Prüfverfahren und Prüfbrennstoffen für die Typprüfung von Raumheizern für feste Brennstoffe.
Diese Norm gilt für nicht mechanisch beschickte Feuerstätten, die in Tabelle 1, Kategorie 1a) und 2a), aufgeführt sind. Diese Feuerstätten beheizen den Aufstellungsraum. Sofern sie mit wasserführenden Bauteilen ausgestattet sind, beheizen sie auch Heizwasser und/oder Brauchwasser. Diese Feuerstätten können entsprechend der Bedienungsanleitung des Herstellers entweder feste mineralische Brennstoffe, Torfbriketts, Holzscheite, Holzbriketts oder mehrere dieser Brennstoffe verfeuern. Diese Norm gilt nicht für Feuerstätten mit Verbrennungsluftgebläse.ANMERKUNG Ohne funktionale Änderung bedeutet eine Veränderung der Verkleidung der Feuerstätte, die die Wärmeabgabe verändert, die Verbrennung jedoch nicht beeinflusst.
Poêles à combustible solide - Exigences et méthodes d'essai
La présente Norme européenne définit les exigences relatives à la conception, à la fabrication, à l'assemblage, à la sécurité, aux performances (rendement et émissions), aux instructions et au marquage ainsi que les méthodes d'essais et combustibles d'essais correspondants pour les essais des poêles domestiques à combustible solide.
La présente norme est applicable aux appareils dépourvus d'alimentation mécanique et qui sont repris sous les catégories 1a et 2a du Tableau 1. Ces appareils produisent de la chaleur dans l'espace où ils sont installés. De plus, lorsqu'ils sont équipés d'un bouilleur, ils produisent également de l'eau chaude à usage domestique et/ou du chauffage central. Ces appareils peuvent utiliser soit des combustibles minéraux solides, des briquettes de tourbe, des bûches de bois naturel ou reconstitué, soit plusieurs combustibles conformément aux instructions du fabricant.
Cette norme ne s'applique pas aux appareils équipés d'un ventilateur pour l'alimentation en air de combustion.

The EN 13240:2001 standard comprehensively outlines the requirements and test methods for room heaters that are fired by solid fuel. Its scope encompasses critical aspects of design, manufacture, construction, safety, and performance-especially efficiency and emissions. By establishing a set of rigorous specifications, this standard ensures that residential room heaters deliver heating solutions effectively while adhering to safety norms and environmental standards. One of the primary strengths of EN 13240:2001 lies in its focus on type testing residential appliances under specific categories, namely 1a and 2a. This categorization ensures that the standard is applicable to non-mechanically fired appliances that directly provide heat to the space they occupy, contributing to energy efficiency in residential heating solutions. Furthermore, the provision for appliances that can also supply domestic hot water and central heating presents an added value, enhancing the versatility of solid fuel room heaters in modern homes. The detailed requirements related to marking and instructions for use are significant as they promote transparency and user awareness regarding safety and operational guidelines. This aspect is crucial for ensuring that consumers can effectively operate their solid fuel appliances without posing safety risks. Moreover, the standard’s emphasis on test methods and fuels serves to ensure reliability in performance evaluations. By detailing the testing protocols, EN 13240:2001 provides a framework that manufacturers can follow, which ultimately leads to the production of high-quality and compliant products in the market. While the standard includes a wide range of solid fuels-such as solid mineral fuels, peat briquettes, natural or manufactured wood logs, and multi-fuel configurations-it notably excludes appliances relying on fan-assisted combustion air. This clarity helps manufacturers and consumers alike understand the limitations of the standard, enabling better product selection based on specific heating needs. In summary, the EN 13240:2001 standard stands as a pivotal document in the realm of solid fuel room heaters, offering comprehensive guidelines that advocate for safety, efficiency, and environmental responsibility. Its relevance in today's context, where sustainable heating solutions are of utmost importance, further reinforces its importance in the industry.
