(Main + Amendment)Gas-fired heating boilers - Part 1: General requirements and tests
Gas-fired heating boilers - Part 1: General requirements and tests
This European Standard specifies the common requirements and test methods, as well as the classification, marking and energy labelling of gas-fired central heating boilers that are fitted with atmospheric burners, fan assisted atmospheric burners or fully premixed burners, and are hereafter referred to as “boilers”.
This European Standard is to be used in conjunction with the specific Parts 2 (Part 2-1 and following ones).
This European Standard applies to boilers of types B and C.
NOTE For further background information on appliance types see CEN/TR 1749:2014 [1].
a) that use one or more combustible gases of the three gas families at the pressures stated in EN 437;
b) where the temperature of the water is below or above 105 °C during normal operation;
c) where the maximum operating pressure in the water circuit does not exceed 6 bar;
d) which can give rise to condensation under certain circumstances;
e) which are declared in the instructions for installation to be either a "condensing" boiler or a "low temperature boiler" or a "standard boiler" or an "other boiler". If no declaration is given the boiler is to be considered both a "standard boiler" and an "other boiler";
NOTE The Ecodesign Directive defines "other boilers", "low temperature boilers" and "condensing boilers". The Boiler Efficiency Directive defines "standard boilers", "low temperature boilers" and "condensing boilers". Depending on the legislation applied, a boiler can be both "a standard boiler" and an "other boiler"."
f) which are intended to be installed inside a building or in a partially protected place;
g) which are intended to produce also hot water either by the instantaneous or storage principle as a single unit.
This European Standard applies to boilers designed for sealed water systems or for open water systems.
NOTE This general standard and the specific standards (see Part 2) provide requirements for boilers with known constructions. For boilers with any alternative constructions, which might not fully be covered by this standard or a specific standard, the risk associated with this alternative construction will need to be assessed.
An example of an assessment methodology, based upon risk assessment, is given in Clause 11.
This European Standard is not intended to cover appliances intended for connection to gas grids where the quality of the distributed gas is likely to vary to a large extent over the lifetime of the appliance (see Annex EE).
This European Standard is not intended to cover appliances designed and constructed to burn gas containing toxic components.

Introduction
The basic function of gas-fired heating boiler is to generate heat by direct heat transfer in a heat
exchanger, from the combustion gasses to the water.
The boiler can include in one design more than one function. It can include for example:
— a sanitary hot water function;
— a function to supply the combustion air from the outside/open air;
— a function to dispose the combustion products to the outside/open air.
The boiler design can be supplied to the market in more than one part. If the boiler is supplied to the
market in multiple parts, the boiler is the assembly of various parts according to the instructions for
installation.
Boilers can be designed to be connected to specific parts of a building. Connection to a chimney and the
means of combustion air supply is particularly relevant.
This document is a first part of a series of standards that will describe the special requirements for
specific appliance types of the boiler. This European Standard contains the common requirements that
are applicable for the majority of the appliance types of the boiler.
Matters related to quality assurance systems, tests during production, and certificates of conformity of
auxiliary devices are not dealt with in this series of European Standards.
1 Scope
This document specifies the common requirements and test methods, as well as the classification,
marking and energy labelling of gas-fired central heating boilers that are fitted with atmospheric burners,
fan assisted atmospheric burners or fully premixed burners, and are hereafter referred to as “boilers”.
This document is to be used in conjunction with the specific Parts 2 (Part 2-1, Part 2-2 and following
ones).
This document applies to boilers of types B and C:
NOTE For further background information on appliance types see EN 1749:2020.
a) that use one or more combustible gases of the three gas families at the pressures stated in EN
437:2021;
b) where the temperature of the water does not exceed 105 °C during normal operation;
c) where the maximum operating pressure in the water circuit does not exceed 6 bar;
d) which can give rise to condensation under certain circumstances;
e) which are declared in the instructions for installation to be either a "condensing" boiler or a "low
temperature boiler" or a "standard boiler" or an "other boiler". If no declaration is given the boiler is
to be considered both a "standard boiler" and an "other boiler";
f) which are intended to be installed inside a building or in a partially protected place;
g) which are intended to produce also hot water either by the instantaneous or storage principle as a
single unit.
This document applies to boilers designed for sealed water systems or for open water systems.
NOTE This general standard and the specific standards (see Part 2) provide requirements for boilers with known
constructions. For boilers with any alternative constructions, which might not fully be covered by this standard or a specific
standard, the risk associated with this alternative construction will need to be assessed.
An example of an assessment methodology, based upon risk assessment, is given in Clause 11.
This document is not intended to cover appliances intended for connection to gas grids where the quality
of the distributed gas is likely to vary to a large extent over the lifetime of the appliance (see Annex AB).
This document does not cover all the requirements for :
aa) appliances above 1000 kW;
ab) appliances designed and constructed to burn gas containing carbon monoxide or other toxic
components;
ac) appliance having a supplementary heater.
