Overview
EN 16430-1:2014 is a European Standard developed by CEN that specifies the technical requirements and specifications for fan assisted radiators, convectors, and trench convectors intended for permanent installation in central heating systems. This standard applies to factory-assembled units or kits using water at temperatures below 120 °C, supplied by remote heating sources. It also addresses radiators and convectors conforming to EN 442-1 for determining dry cooling capacity but excludes discrete heating appliances.
This comprehensive standard ensures safety, performance, and quality by defining key parameters such as mechanical and electrical safety, dimensional tolerances, leak and pressure testing, noise emission limits, thermal output, and cooling capacity testing methods.
Key Topics
Scope of Application
Covers fan assisted radiators, convectors, trench convectors-both with and without fans-ventilation radiators (heating only), and non-fan assisted units (cooling only).Technical Specifications
- Materials and wall thickness requirements for wet heating surfaces comply with EN 442-1.
- Dimensions and tolerances standardize product size for reliable installation and performance.
- Surface treatment ensures corrosion resistance and durability following EN ISO standards.
- Leak and pressure strength testing validate product integrity under operating conditions.
Safety Requirements
- Electrical components conform to EN 60335-2-80 for household and similar appliances.
- Fans must meet mechanical safety requirements per EN ISO 12499.
- Safe handling ensured by eliminating burrs or surface defects.
Noise Emission Standards
Measurements according to recognized acoustic standards (e.g., EN ISO 3741, EN ISO 3745) ensure compliant sound power levels to minimize noise disturbances.Performance Testing
- Thermal outputs and cooling capacities are determined in compliance with EN 16430-2 and EN 16430-3, respectively, enabling accurate product rating.
- Testing includes variable operating conditions such as water temperature and fan speed.
- Data covers characteristic equations, standard outputs, mass, and water content for design and comparison purposes.
Catalogue and Labelling Requirements
Information on heating/cooling capacity, noise levels, dimensions, maximum operating pressure and temperature, and electrical connections must be provided for trade and user guidance.
Applications
EN 16430-1:2014 primarily applies to manufacturers, testing laboratories, designers, installers, and regulatory bodies involved in:
- Designing and manufacturing fan assisted radiators, convectors, and trench convectors for modern central heating systems.
- Evaluating thermal output and dry cooling capacity to ensure energy-efficient and effective heating and cooling solutions.
