CEN/TC 295/WG 6 - Requirements of the Mandate M 129 "Space Heating Appliances"

This document is applicable to residential solid fuel burning appliances of which the nominal space heat output is more than 6 % of the combined nominal space heat output and nominal water heat output (total heat output).
This document specifies requirements relating to the design, manufacture, construction, safety and performance (efficiency and emission) of appliances fired by solid fuel (hereafter referred to as “appliance(s)”) and provides instructions for them. Furthermore, it also gives provisions for the evaluation of conformity, i.e. initial type testing (ITT) and factory production control (FPC) and marking of these appliances.
This document specifies CO, NOx, OGC and particulate matter (PM) emission test methods.
This document is as well applicable to appliances intended to carry the load of a chimney.
Appliances receiving combustion air through ductwork from outside the external envelope, which is not air tight, are not considered roomsealed.
This document is not applicable to appliances with boiler parts in contact with fire or flue gases other than when the boiler parts are manufactured from steel or cast iron.
This document is not applicable to appliances with a boiler intended for water systems having:
-   water temperatures above 110 °C and/or an operating pressure of more than 300 kPa (3 bar);
-   direct contact with sanitary hot water.
This document is not applicable to appliances to be operated with ventilating systems which are intended to operate with pressure below -15 Pa in the room of installation of the appliance in relation to the outside atmosphere.

This document is applicable to roomheaters for solid fuel (freestanding or inset solid fuel burning local space heating products that operate with fire doors either as closed only or as closed or open; insets without functional modification).
The intended use of the appliances is space heating in residential buildings. They can be fitted with a boiler (integral part of the appliance containing water to be heated up) for the supply of hot water for central heating systems.
These appliances can burn one or more types of the following solid fuels as specified:
-   wood logs;
-   compressed untreated wood;
-   wood pellets;
-   lignite briquettes;
-   solid mineral fuels;
-   peat briquettes.
This document is not applicable to appliances with fan assisted combustion air or appliances that are mechanically fed.
This document specifies procedures for assessment and verification of constancy of performance (AVCP) of characteristics of solid fuel burning roomheaters.

This European Standard specifies requirements relating to the design, manufacture, construction, safety and performance (efficiency and emission) instructions and marking together with associated test methods and test fuels for type testing residential roomheaters fired by solid fuel.
This Standard is applicable to non-mechanically fired appliances which are listed under categories 1a and 2a of Table 1. These appliances provide heat into the space where they are installed. Additionally, where fitted with a boiler, they also provide domestic hot water and/or central heating. These appliances may burn either solid mineral fuels, peat briquettes, natural or manufactured wood logs or be multi-fuel in accordance with the appliance manufacturer’s instructions.
This standard is not applicable to appliances with fan assisted combustion air.

This European Standard is applicable to residential solid fuel burning appliances.
This European Standard specifies requirements relating to the design, manufacture, construction, safety and performance (efficiency and emission) of appliances fired by solid fuel (hereafter referred to as appliance(s)) and provides instructions for them. Furthermore, it also gives provisions for the evaluation of conformity i.e. initial type testing (ITT) and factory production control (FPC) and marking of these appliances.
This European Standard also covers CO, NOx, OGC and particulate matter (PM / PME - see Annex F) emission test methods, however this European Standard does not contain any values for the limit on these emissions.
Appliances receiving combustion air through ductwork from outside the external envelope, which is not air tight, are not considered roomsealed.This European Standard is not applicable to appliances with boiler parts in contact with fire or flue gases other than when the boiler parts are manufactured from steel or cast iron.
This European Standard is not applicable to appliances with a boiler intended for water systems having
-   water temperatures above 110 °C and/or an operating pressure of more than 3 bar;
-   direct contact with sanitary hot water.
This European Standard does not cover appliances to be operated with ventilating systems which are intended to operate with pressure below - 15 Pa in the room of installation of the appliance in relation to the outside atmosphere.
This European Standard does not cover appliances intended to carry the load of a chimney.

This Standard is applicable to non-mechanically fired appliances whose primary function is to provide heat into the space in which they are installed and which are listed under categories 1a and 2a of table 1 of prEN 13240. Additionally, where fitted with a boiler, they also provide domestic hot water and/or central heating. These appliances may burn naturally occurring or manufactured solid mineral fuels, peat briquettes, natural or manufactured wood logs and biomass based products which are in the form of an identifiable consistent product or be multi-fuel in accordance with the appliance manufacturer's instructions. This standard is not applicable to appliances having fan assisted combustion air.
