This document defines the specifications and test methods and also the classification, marking and energy labelling of gas-fired instantaneous water heaters for sanitary uses, hereafter called “water heaters”. This document applies to water heaters: - of types A, B and C as described at the appropriated clauses; NOTE For more information on the configuration of the types of appliances, see EN 1749:2020. - using one or more combustible gases corresponding to the three gas families and at the pressures stated in accordance with EN 437:2021; - of nominal heat input not exceeding 77 kW based on the gross calorific value (GCV); - with an ignition burner or with direct ignition of the main burner. In this document, the heat inputs are expressed in relation to the net calorific value (Hi). This document does not contain all the requirements necessary for: - boiling water appliances; - appliances intended to be connected to a mechanical means of evacuating the combustion products; - appliances which fulfil a dual role of space heating and heating water for sanitary use. This document only covers water heaters where the fan, if any, is an integral part of the appliance. This document is not intended to cover appliances designed and constructed to burn gas containing toxic components.

This document specifies the general specifications, constructional requirements and common test methods for indirectly heated, unvented (closed) hot water storage tanks of up to 2 000 l volume suitable for connection to a water supply at a pressure between 0,05 MPa and 1,0 MPa (0,5 bar and 10 bar), and fitted with control and safety devices designed to prevent the temperature of the stored drinking water from reaching 95 °C. Whilst storage water heaters intended primarily for direct heating are not covered by this document, it includes the possible provision of backup immersion heaters.
