CEN/TC 181/WG 2 - Barbecues and outdoor cooking appliances

This document specifies the requirements for the installation of liquefied petroleum gas systems for habitation purposes in leisure accommodation vehicles and for accommodation purposes in other vehicles.
It details health and safety requirements on:
—   the selection of materials;
—   components and appliances;
—   design considerations;
—   tightness testing of installations;
—   the contents of the user's handbook.
This document only covers installations supplied with 3rd family gases (LPG).
It does not cover:
—   water connections or electrical power supplies to the appliance(s);
—   portable appliances, incorporating their own LPG supply;
—   the installation of LPG appliances to be used for commercial purposes;
—   LPG installations on boats;
—   LPG supply equipment and LPG appliances separate from and external to the body of the vehicle.
This document covers LPG tanks fulfilling the requirements of the Pressure Equipment Directive (2014/68/EU).
Attention is drawn to the Pressure Equipment Directive (2014/68/EU) for any parts of the installation operating above 0,5 bar.

This European standard specifies the characteristics of safety, construction, performance and efficiency, the test methods and marking, of room sealed space heating equipment of type C (see CEN/TR 1749) with combustion air intake and outlet for the products of combustion in the wall, roof or floor, combined or not. These are referred to in the body of the text as "heaters", burning LPG, for vehicles and boats.
This European standard only covers room sealed heaters also including those which have a combustion air fan, an integral hot air fan or both, only for vehicles and boats which are used for residential, recreational and commercial purposes.
This European standard applies to heaters which are installed either outside or inside the habitable volume, but which have a combustion circuit sealed from the vehicle's interior, and nominal heat input which does not exceed 10 kW (Hs) operated at supply pressure of 30 mbar, 28 mbar, 37 mbar and 50 mbar, using, where appropriate, 12 V or 24 V DC electrical supply.
Room sealed LPG space heating appliances for vehicles and boats are using very often warm air as a heat transfer medium. Annex B specifies additional requirements for appliances using water as a heat transfer medium.
For private cars and vehicles or boats used for the transport of dangerous goods or for commercial personnel transport additional requirements may be necessary.
This European standard does not cover requirements for storage water heaters (boilers) (see EN 15033). For appliances producing additional sanitary hot water (combi-boilers), see relevant clauses of EN 15033.
NOTE   If a LPG operated heater is installed in a motorized vehicle being subject to European road traffic legislation, the directives of the Council for the approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the member states relating to the heating of the interior of motor vehicles should be applied.
These heaters are also suitable for caravan holiday homes.

This European Standard defines the specifications and test methods for the construction, safety, rational use of energy and fitness for purpose, environment, classification and marking of room sealed storage water heaters for the production of sanitary hot water using LPG for: vehicles as defined in article 1 of Directive 70/156/EEC (see 3.12); caravan holiday homes; agricultural, forestry and mobile machinery, and boats; hereafter called "appliance". This standard applies to appliances: type C1, C3 and C5 (room sealed, see CEN/TR 1749) with combustion air intake and outlet for the products of combustion (combined or not) in the wall or roof; fitted with atmospheric burners; appliances fitted with or without a fan on the combustion circuit; using LPG at the pressure I3BP(30) indicated in EN 437, (for caravan holiday homes and boats see Annex A); of nominal heat input not exceeding 7 kW (Hi); appliances whether connected to the water mains pressure or on board water supply; appliances using, where appropriate, 12 V or 24 V DC electrical supply (or appliances with an additional 230 V heating element). This standard does not contain all the necessary requirements for: appliances which fulfil a dual purpose role of space heating and heating water for sanitary hot water use. This standard covers type testing only.

This European Standard defines the specifications and test methods for the construction, safety, rational use of energy and fitness for purpose, environment, classification and marking of room sealed storage water heaters for the production of sanitary hot water using LPG for:
   vehicles as defined in article 1 of Directive 70/156/EEC (see 3.12);
   caravan holiday homes;
   agricultural, forestry and mobile machinery, and
   boats;
hereafter called "appliance".
This standard applies to appliances:
   type C1, C3 and C5 (room sealed, see CEN/TR 1749) with combustion air intake and outlet for the products of combustion (combined or not) in the wall or roof;
   fitted with atmospheric burners;
   appliances fitted with or without a fan on the combustion circuit;
   using LPG at the pressure I3BP(30) indicated in EN 437, (for caravan holiday homes and boats see Annex A);
   of nominal heat input not exceeding 7 kW (Hi);
   appliances whether connected to the water mains pressure or on board water supply;
   appliances using, where appropriate, 12 V or 24 V DC electrical supply (or appliances with an additional 230 V heating element).
This standard does not contain all the necessary requirements for:
   appliances which fulfil a dual purpose role of space heating and heating water for sanitary hot water use.
This standard covers type testing only.
NOTE 1   Alternatively appliances (storage water heaters) for caravan holiday homes may comply with EN 89.
NOTE 2   For space heating aspects see EN 624 "Specification for dedicated LPG appliances - Room sealed LPG space heating equipment for installation in vehicles and boats".

This standard defines the constructional features, safety and operational requirements, test techniques and marking of absorption refrigerators using commercial butane and propane (referred to within the text as "appliances".  This standard is applicable to room sealed (Type C11) and flueless (Type A11), as defined in CR 1749, refrigerators using gas equipment fuelled by third family gases as classified in 4.2.  This standard only applies to type testing.  The gas consumption of absorption refrigerators is of the same order of magnitude as pilots currently used on other types of burners, maximum being 60 g/h.  Consequently efficiency measurement is not considered relevant for these appliances and is not covered by this standard.  This standard does not cover the requirements.

This European Standard specifies the requirements for the installation of liquefied petroleum gas systems for habitation purposes in leisure accommodation vehicles and for accommodation purposes in other vehicles. It details safety and health requirements on the selection of materials, components and appliances, on design considerations and tightness testing of installations and on the contents of the user's handbook.
This European Standard does not cover installations supplied from other than 3rd family gases (LPG), water connections or electrical power supplies to the appliance(s). Portable appliances, incorporating their own gas supply, are not considered part of the installation and are outside the scope of this standard. It does not include the installation of LPG appliances to be used for commercial purposes or for boats. Gas supply equipment and gas appliances separate from and external to the body of the vehicle are also not considered by this standard.
