European foreword
This document (EN 60531:2000/A11:2019) has been prepared by CLC/TC 59X/WG 12 “Electric
room heating appliances”.
The following dates are fixed:
• latest date by which this document has to (dop) 2020-03-17
be implemented at national level by
publication of an identical national standard
or by endorsement
• latest date by which the national standards (dow) 2022-06-17
conflicting with this document have to be
withdrawn
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the
subject of patent rights. CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such
patent rights.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CENELEC by the European
Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements
of EU Directive(s).
For the relationship with EU Directive(s) see informative Annex ZZ, which is an integral part of
this document.
The purpose of this amendment is to specify essential performance characteristics of direct
acting room heaters and to describe methods for measuring of these characteristics related to
EU Commission regulation (EU) No 2015/1188 and standardization request from the EU
Commission M/550.
1 Modification to clause 1, "Scope"
Replace by:
This standard applies to electric storage heaters having a daily operating cycle and intended
to heat the room in which they are located.
NOTE 1 This standard does not apply to heating appliances incorporated in the building structure, to
central heating systems or to floor heating installations.
NOTE 2 If an appliance is intended to be operated as a storage heater or as a direct-acting room
heater, it is also tested in accordance with EN 60675.
NOTE 3 If an appliance has a heat retention of less than 20 %, it is not considered to be a storage
heater.
This standard defines the main performance characteristics of storage heaters and specifies
methods for measuring these characteristics, for the information of users.
NOTE 4 Information which may be of interest to the consumer is listed in Annex D.
This standard does not specify values for performance characteristics.
NOTE 5 This standard does not deal with:
– safety requirements (EN 60335-2-60);
– acoustical noise of fans heaters (EN 60704-2-2).
2 Modification to clause 2, "Normative references"
Replace by:
The following documents are referred to in the text in such a way that some or all of their
content constitutes requirements of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited
applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any
amendments) applies.
EN 60584-1:2013, Thermocouples - Part 1: EMF specifications and tolerances (IEC 60584-
1:2013)
3 Modification to clause 3, "Terms and Definitions"
Replace by:
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
ISO and IEC maintain terminological databases for use in standardization at the following addresses:
• IEC Electropedia: available at http://www.electropedia.org/
• ISO Online browsing platform: available at http://www.iso.org/obp
3.1
storage local space heater
electric local space heater designed to store heat in an accumulating isolated core and to
discharge it for several hours after the accumulation phase
3.2
local space heater
space heating device that emits heat by direct heat transfer in combination with heat transfer
to a fluid, in order to reach and maintain a certain level of human comfort within an enclosed
space in which the product is situated, possibly combined with a heat output to other spaces
and is equipped with one or more heat generators that convert electricity or gaseous or liquid
fuels directly into heat, through use of the Joules effect or combustion of fuels respectively
3.3
slave heater
electric local space heater which is not capable of autonomous operation and needs to receive
signals sent from an external master controller, not being part of the product but connected to
it by pilot wire, wireless, power line communication or an equivalent technique, in order to
regulate the emission of heat into the room in which the product is installed
3.4
minimum discharge condition
condition under which the appliance is operated, the means for controlling the heat output,
such as flaps and fans, being set at the lowest position
3.5
maximum discharge condition
condition under which the appliance is operated, the means for controlling the heat output,
such as flaps and fans, being set at the highest position, any boost position being ignored
Note 1 to entry: A boost position is a setting of a control for occasional use which results in a higher temporary
fan speed.
3.6
average room temperature
arithmetic average of the maximum and minimum room temperatures for a setting of the room
temperature control
3.7
room temperature control
mechanical or electronic device, sensitive to the room temperature and adjustable by the user

drift
difference between the average room temperatures obtained at different charge levels for a
setting of the room temperature control
3.10
nominal heat output
Pnom

(where applicable), when operating at the setting for the maximum heat output that can be
maintained over an extended period, as declared by the manufacturer, expressed in x,x kW
3.11
minimum heat output
Pmin

(where applicable), when operating at setting of the lowest heat output, as declared by the
manufacturer, expressed in x,x kW
3.12

heaters without a standby mode the value is zero.
3.16
standby mode
state of the product where the heating function has been deactivated without disconnection
from mains or switching power off. Independent from external conditions (room temperature,
time, or control signals) the unit will not start heating; to resume the heating function a (manual)
reactivation by the user is required; in standby mode only the following functions are provided,
which may persist for an indefinite time:
— reactivation function, or reactivation function and only an indication of enabled reactivation
function, and/or
— information or status display
3.17
seasonal space heating energy efficiency
η
S
ratio between the space heating demand, supplied by a local space heater and the annual
energy consumption required to meet this demand, expressed in %; the seasonal space heating
energy efficiency is calculated using the methods described in Annex III of regulation (EU) No
2015/1188
3.18
set-back function
function which allows the room temperature to be maintained at a predefined lower value than
the pre-set (comfort) temperature without changing the setting of the room temperature control
3.19
manual heat charge control, with integrated thermostat
manually operated sensing device integrated into the product, which measures and regulates
its core temperature to vary the accumulated amount of heat
3.20
manual heat charge control with room and/or external temperature feedback
manually operated sensing device integrated into the product which measures its core
temperature and varies the accumulated amount of heat in relation with the room temperature
and/or outdoor temperature
3.21
electronic heat charge control with room and/or external temperature feedback or
regulated by energy supplier
automatically operated sensing device integrated into the product which measures its core
temperature and varies the accumulated amount of heat in relation with the room temperature
and/or outdoor temperature or a device whose charging regime can be regulated by the energy
supplier
3.22
fan assisted heat output
means the product is equipped with an integrated and controllable fan (or fans) to vary the heat
output to adjust to the heat demand
3.23
mechanical room temperature control
means the product is equipped with a non-electronic device that allows the product to
automatically vary its heat outpu
