Residential solid fuel burning appliances — Part 2-5: Slow heat release appliances fired by solid fuel — Requirements and test methods cen:proj:63907

Scope

EN 16510-1:2015 is not relevant for SHRAs. Instead use following:
This European Standard is applicable to residential freestanding hand fuelled intermittent burning slow heat
release appliances having thermal storage capacity such that they can provide heat for an extended period
of time after the fire has gone out. Maximum firing time is 3 hours. These slow heat release appliances may
be supplied either as an assembled appliance or as a manufacturer’s pre-designed unit consisting of prefabricated
components designed to be built on site in accordance with the manufacturer’s specified assembly
instructions. One off installations are not included as they are not covered by the scope of this standard.
This European standard is also applicable to appliances which are designed for operating under room sealed
conditions and which are intended to be installed into a chimney not serving any other appliances.
These appliances can contain also fluid heating device which can be either a boiler or a heat exchanger that
is not in contact with flames or flue gases.
Note: Appliances which receive their combustion air from outside by means of a pipe system which is not air tight are not
considered room sealed in accordance with this standard.
This European Standard specifies requirements relating to the design, manufacture, construction, safety and
performance (efficiency and emission) together with associated test methods and test fuels for residential
slow heat release appliances fired by solid fuel (hereafter referred to as “appliances”), and provides
instructions for them. Furthermore, it also gives provisions for evaluation of conformity i.e. initial type testing
(ITT) and factory production control (FPC) and marking of these appliances.
These appliances provide heat by radiation and convection from the surface and can also have channels for
improved convection. They provide heat into the space where they are installed. Additionally if fitted with a boiler or a heat exchanger that is not in contact with flames or flue gases, these appliances may 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 fired in accordance with the appliance manufacturer’s instructions. Wood pellets which are
specifically intended to be hand fuelled can be burned either on the existing appliance bottom grate or in a
special basket arrangement which is placed by the user into the existing firebox.
This European Standard is not applicable to mechanically fed appliances. This European standard is also not
applicable to appliances which are designed to be operated with ventilating systems which have pressure
below (– 15 Pa) in relation to the outside atmosphere as measured in the room where the appliance is
installed.
This European Standard covers also CO, NOx, OGC (total hydrocarbons) and particulate matter emission
test methods; however it does not contain any values for the limit on these emissions.
This part 2-5 of a European Standard series is applicable to slow heat release appliances.
This part 2-5 is to be used in conjunction with the latest edition of EN 16510-1 and its amendments. It is
established on the basis of EN 16510-1:2015. When this standard states “addition”, “modification” or
“replacement”, the relevant text in part 1 is to be adapted accordingly.
