This European Standard was approved by CENELEC on 2003-11-01. CENELEC members are bound to
comply with the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations which stipulate the conditions for giving this European
Standard the status of a national standard without any alteration.

Up-to-date lists and bibliographical references concerning such national standards may be obtained on
application to the Central Secretariat or to any CENELEC member.

This European Standard exists in three official versions (English, French, German). A version in any other
language made by translation under the responsibility of a CENELEC member into its own language and
notified to the Central Secretariat has the same status as the official versions.

CENELEC members are the national electrotechnical committees of Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech
Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia,
Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden,
Switzerland and United Kingdom.

Foreword
The text of the International Standard IEC 60379:1987, prepared by SC 59C, Heating appliances, of
IEC TC 59, Performance of household electrical appliances, together with the common modifications
prepared by the Technical Committee CENELEC TC 59X, Consumer information related to household
electrical appliances, was submitted to the formal vote and was approved by CENELEC as EN 60379 on
2003-11-01.

This European Standard supersedes HD 500 S1:1988. It only modifies some clauses for clarification, for
better reproducibility and for better information to the consumer.

The following dates were fixed:

- latest date by which the EN has to be implemented
 at national level by publication of an identical
 national standard or by endorsement (dop) 2004-11-01

- latest date by which the national standards conflicting
 with the EN have to be withdrawn (dow) 2006-11-01

This European Standard, based on HD 500 S1:1988, has been prepared by the Technical Committee
CENELEC TC 59X due to the draft implementing Directive of the European Commission and the
European Free Trade Association on the indication of the energy consumption of electric storage water
heaters. According to this draft implementing Directive the energy consumption to be declared in
kWh/year refers only to standing loss without water withdrawal and the classification of the energy
efficiency is derived from this standing loss.

Clauses and subclauses which are additional to those in IEC 60379 are prefixed "Z".

Technical differences to HD 500 S1:1988 are
a) definition of the rated capacity (in order to clarify the term “storage temperature” used in the draft
implementing Directive),
b) general conditions for measurement,
c) verification of the rated capacity,
d) standing loss at 24 h,
e) tolerances and control procedures,
f) no declaration to provide,
g) accuracy of instrumentation,
h) tolerances,
i) mixed water quantity at 40 °C.

Endorsement notice
The text of the International Standard IEC 60379:1987 was approved by CENELEC as a European
Standard with agreed common modifications as given below.
COMMON MODIFICATIONS
1 Scope
Add a new paragraph:
The common modifications supplement, as far as necessary, test methods which shall be applied in
accordance with a Commission’s Directive, which is based on standing loss only, implementing Council
Directive 92/75/EEC with regard to energy labelling of household electric storage water heaters. Clauses
defining permitted tolerances to values declared by the manufacturer and control procedures for checking
these declared values are added.
5 Terms relating to characteristics of appliances
