g)   which are intended to produce also hot water either by the instantaneous or storage principle, as a single unit;
h)   which are designed for either sealed water systems or for open water systems.
NOTE 2   This document provides requirements for boilers with known constructions. For boilers with any alternative constructions, which might not fully be covered by this document, the risk associated with this alternative construction needs to be assessed.
An example of an assessment methodology, based upon risk assessment, is given in Clause 11.
This document does not cover all the requirements for:
aa)   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 AB);
