4 General test conditions
4.1 Reference conditions
Unless otherwise stated, the general test conditions are as follows:
— cold water temperature: 10 °C;
— maximum average variation over the test period: ± 2 K
— cold water pressure: (2 ± 0,1) bar;
— ambient air temperature: 20 °C;
— maximum average variation over the test period ± 1 K
— maximum variation during the tests ± 2 K
— electrical supply voltage: (230 ± 2) V (single phase).
4.2 Measurement uncertainties
Except where otherwise stated in the clauses describing the tests, the uncertainties of measurements
carried out shall not be greater than the maximum uncertainties indicated below.
The standard deviations take account the various sources of uncertainty: contribution from the
instrument, repeatability, calibration, ambient conditions, etc.
— water rate: ± 1 %;
— gas rate: ± 1 %;
— time: ± 0,2 s;
— temperatures:
— ambient: ± 1 K;
— water: ± 0,5 K;
— gas: ± 0,5 K;
— mass: ± 0, 5 %;
— gas pressure: ± 1 %;
— gas calorific value: ± 1 %;
— gas density: ± 0,5 %;
— electrical energy: ± 2 %.
The stated measurement uncertainties relate to individual measurements. For measurements that
combine a number of individual measurements, smaller uncertainties on the individual measurements
may be necessary to ensure a total uncertainty within ± 2 % under the steady state conditions.
These uncertainties correspond to two standard deviations (2σ).
4.3 Test conditions
4.3.1 General
Except where otherwise stated, the appliance shall be tested under the following conditions.
4.3.2 Test room
The appliance shall be installed in a well-ventilated, draught-free room (air speed less than 0,5 m/s).
The appliance shall be protected from direct solar radiation and radiation from heat generators.
4.3.3 Water supply
For the tests:
— domestic water pressure is the static inlet pressure under dynamic conditions measured as close as
possible to the appliance;
— inlet and outlet temperatures of the domestic water shall be measured in the centre of the flow and
as close as possible to the appliance.
The inlet temperatures shall be measured immediately upstream of the water inlet connection. Except
where otherwise stated, the outlet temperatures shall be measured immediately downstream of the
outlet connection or, in the case of an appliance with spout delivery, by means of an immersed
temperature measuring device, e.g. a u-tube fitted at the outlet of a tube of the same length as the
minimum length of the spout normally supplied by the manufacturer.
The hot water temperature shall be measured with a rapid response thermometer.
"Rapid response thermometer" means a measuring instrument with a response time such that 90 % of
the final temperature rise, from 15 °C to 100 °C, is obtained within about 1 s, when the sensor is
plunged into still water.
4.3.4 Steady state
Steady state operating conditions shall be regarded as established when the appliance operates for
sufficient time to reach thermal stabilization. The steady state is reached when the water temperature
at the outlet does not vary by more than ± 0,5 K.
NOTE This condition can be reached with a gas which is different from the specified test gas, provided that
the appliance is supplied with the specified test gas at least 5 min before the requirements are verified.
4.3.5 Initial adjustment of the appliance
The appliance shall be installed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
The heat input shall be adjusted to within ± 2 % of the nominal domestic hot water heat input.
The delivered water temperature at the appliance outlet is defined as follows (see Figures A.1 and A.2):
a) appliances with an adjustable temperature: the tests shall be carried out at a temperature not
greater than 65 °C, with a minimum temperature increase equal to or greater than 45 K above
water inlet temperature.
b) appliances with a fixed temperature: the tests shall be carried out at the temperature specified by
the manufacturer, with a minimum temperature increase equal to or greater than 45 K.
The same conditions of initial adjustment stated in the appliance documentation shall be used for all the
tests.
These conditions shall be included in the test report.
4.3.6 Initial state conditions
All the tests of this standard shall be conducted as follows (see Figures A.3 and A.4):
— when there is no control cycle to consider: at least one hour after the previous delivery;
— when there is a control cycle to consider : after a time corresponding to 20 % (but not exceeding
1 h) of the "OFF" time of the burner. The time is taken from the time the burner turns off in the
control cycle.
The same initial state conditions shall be used for all the tests. These conditions shall be included in the
test report.
For appliances with a central heating function, tests shall be conducted in summer mode.
4.3.7 Electrical supply
The appliance shall be supplied with the nominal voltage or a voltage included within the range of
nominal voltages stated in the installation instructions
5 Characterisation of the domestic hot water function of appliances
5.1 General
The domestic hot water function shall be characterised in two different ways:
— firstly, according to the domestic hot water specific rates, the tapping capability and the
corresponding uses (see 5.2);
— secondly, according to the quality of the domestic hot water produced (see 5.3); obtaining a
number of stars corresponding to a determined level of performance.
5.2 Characterisation according to the domestic hot water rates

instructions for this test.
The pressure loss across the appliance shall not exceed 2 bar.
During the measurement of the specific rate, the minimum temperature increase shall be equal to or
greater than 30 K.
Before the test, the appliance shall be adjusted in accordance with 4.3.5. A first delivery shall be carried
out over a period of 10 min, followed by 20 min with no delivery and then by a second delivery over a
period of 10 min (see Figures A.5 and A.6).
Measurements of temperature and flow rate shall be made and recorded, at intervals not exceeding 2 s.
