It is the amount of carbon monoxide (CO) in the dry air-free products of combustion which is used as the criterion to distinguish between complete and incomplete combustion. The maximum CO limits according to the circumstances of the test are defined in 6.7. In each case, combustion is regarded as complete (or hygienic) if the CO concentration is below the maximum allowed; if not, it is regarded as incomplete (or non hygienic). 3.4.2.2 aerated flame flame produced by the combustion of gas previously mixed with air 3.4.2.3 non-aerated flame flame produced by the combustion of gas which comes into contact with air at the moment of its combustion 3.4.2.4 flame stability condition of the flame firmly attached to the burner ports or the contact area provided by the design, with no risk of flame lift or light back 3.4.2.5 flame lift phenomenon characterized by the total or partial lifting of the base of the flame from the burner port or the flame contact area provided by the design.

An appliance without a fan. Type A2:
An appliance with a fan downstream of the combustion chamber/heat exchanger. Type A3:
An appliance with a fan upstream of the combustion chamber/heat exchanger. Type B An appliance intended to be connected to a flue that evacuates the products of combustion to the outside of the room containing the appliance. The combustion air is drawn directly from the room. Type B1:
A type B appliance incorporating a draught diverter in the combustion products circuit. Type B11:
A natural draught type B1 appliance. Type B12:
A type B1 appliance designed for a natural draught flue incorporating a fan downstream of the combustion chamber / heat exchanger and upstream of the draught diverter. SIST EN 203-1:2006+A1:2008

A supplementary classification for type B appliances is used to clarify the identification of such appliances when fitted with particular safety devices. The subscript letters “BS” (blocked safety) refer to a combustion products discharge safety device, which reacts to blockage or restriction of the flue system. Example: Type B11BS: A type B11 appliance fitted with a combustion products discharge safety device. A type B appliance intended to operate with a pressurized flue duct shall be identified by an extra subscript “P”. This subscript “P” is only used when installation in accordance with the appliance manufacturer’s instructions on a flue specified by the appliance manufacturer results in the flue operating at a positive pressure. 5 Constructional requirements 5.1 General 5.1.1 Conversion to different gases 5.1.1.1 General The only acceptable operations for converting from the gas of one group or family and/or for adapting to the different supply pressures of a gas are given below for each category. 5.1.1.2 Category I a) categories I2H, I2L, I2E, I2E+:
