Overview

EN 60675:1995/A1:1998 is a European standard developed by the CLC that specifies methods for measuring the performance of household electric direct-acting room heaters. This amendment (A1:1998) updates the original 1995 standard by refining measurement techniques and definitions to ensure more accurate and consistent performance evaluation of electric heaters used in residential environments. These direct-acting room heaters convert electrical energy directly into heat to warm indoor spaces, and this standard focuses on their operational efficiency and heat output reliability.

Key Topics

  • Usable Power Measurement: The amendment introduces a precise method for measuring the usable power (defined as the average power input consumed by the heater). It is particularly relevant for heaters with thermostat-controlled cycling during testing.

  • Test Conditions: Emphasizes the requirement for draught-free test rooms to ensure stable temperature readings without the influence of air currents during performance measurements.

  • Temperature Stability and Radiant Heat Effects: Updates the evaluation methods for the stability of ambient temperature and the effect of radiant heat emitted by the heater, including the placement and use of thermocouples to measure temperature differentials accurately.

  • Thermostat Cycling Considerations: Provides a detailed procedure for measuring energy consumption over at least ten complete thermostat cycles to determine steady-state heater performance.

  • Measurement Accuracy: Specifies that the usable power should be reported if it is below 90% of the rated power input, ensuring transparency for consumers and manufacturers.

Applications

  • Product Testing and Certification: Manufacturers use this standard to certify household electric direct-acting room heaters, ensuring compliance with performance and safety regulations.

  • Quality Control: Testing laboratories and manufacturers apply EN 60675:1995/A1:1998 to maintain consistent heater performance and to validate product claims regarding power consumption and heat output.

  • Consumer Information: Results derived from the standardized measurement methods provide reliable data for consumer guidance, helping users choose heaters with verified performance metrics.

  • Regulatory Compliance: Compliance with this standard supports adherence to European energy efficiency and safety directives related to household electrical appliances.

Related Standards

  • IEC 60675:1994/A1:1998: The International Electrotechnical Commission’s foundational amendment on electrical direct-acting heaters, which EN 60675/A1:1998 harmonizes at the European level.

  • IEC Technical Committee 59: Encompasses performance requirements and testing protocols for household electrical appliances, including heating devices.

  • EN 60335 Series: General standards governing safety of electrical household and similar appliances, often referenced alongside performance measurement standards.

  • Energy Labelling Directives: Directives requiring performance data transparency for household electric heaters, where the measurement methods outlined in EN 60675 provide supporting test methodologies.
