Division 5 REQUIREMENTS FOR PRODUCT INFORMATION

United Kingdom

From 26 September 2015 the following product information on heaters shall be provided:

(a)
the instruction manuals for installers and end-users, and free access websites of manufacturers, their authorised representatives and importers shall contain the following elements:
- for boiler space heaters, boiler combination heaters and cogeneration space heaters, the technical parameters set out in Table 1, measured and calculated in accordance with Annex III;
- for heat pump space heaters and heat pump combination heaters, the technical parameters set out in Table 2, measured and calculated in accordance with Annex III;
- any specific precautions that shall be taken when the heater is assembled, installed or maintained;
- for type B1 boilers and type B1 combination boilers, their characteristics and the following standard text: ‘This natural draught boiler is intended to be connected only to a flue shared between multiple dwellings in existing buildings that evacuates the residues of combustion to the outside of the room containing the boiler. It draws the combustion air directly from the room and incorporates a draught diverter. Due to lower efficiency, any other use of this boiler shall be avoided and would result in higher energy consumption and higher operating costs.’;
- for heat generators designed for heaters, and heater housings to be equipped with such heat generators, their characteristics, the requirements for assembly, to ensure compliance with the ecodesign requirements for heaters and, where appropriate, the list of combinations recommended by the manufacturer;
- information relevant for disassembly, recycling and/or disposal at end-of-life;
(b)
the technical documentation for the purposes of conformity assessment pursuant to Article 4 shall contain the following elements:
- the elements specified in point (a);
- for heat pump space heaters and heat pump combination heaters where the information relating to a specific model comprising a combination of indoor and outdoor units has been obtained by calculation on the basis of design and/or extrapolation from other combinations, the details of such calculations and/or extrapolations, and of any tests undertaken to verify the accuracy of the calculations, including details of the mathematical model for calculating the performance of such combinations and details of the measurements taken to verify this model;
(c)
the following information shall be durably marked on the heater:
- if applicable, ‘type B1 boiler’ or ‘type B1 combination boiler’;
- for cogeneration space heaters, the electrical capacity.
