  "text": "(a)From 1 January 2022 the following product information on solid fuel local space heaters shall be provided:\n(i)the instruction manuals for installers and end-users, and free access websites of manufacturers, their authorised representatives and importers shall contain the following elements:\n(1)the technical information included in Table 1, with its technical parameters measured and calculated in accordance with Annex III and showing the number of significant figures indicated in the table;\n(2)any specific precautions that must be taken when the solid fuel local space heater is assembled, installed or maintained;\n(3)information relevant to disassembly, recycling and/or disposal at end-of-life.\n(ii)the technical documentation for the purposes of conformity assessment pursuant to Article 4 shall contain the following elements:\n(1)the elements specified in point (a);\n(2)a list of equivalent models, if applicable;\n(3)where the preferred fuel or any other suitable fuel is other woody biomass, non-woody biomass, other fossil fuel or other blend of biomass and fossil fuel as referred to in Table 1, a description of the fuel sufficient for its unambiguous identification and the technical standard or specification of the fuel, including the measured moisture content and the measured ash content, and for other fossil fuel also the measured volatile content of the fuel.\n(b)From 1 January 2022 the following product information on solid fuel local space heaters shall be provided:\n(i)for flueless solid fuel local space heaters and open to chimney solid fuel local space heaters only: the instruction manual for end-users, free access websites of manufacturers and the product packaging shall incorporate the following sentence in such a way to ensure clear visibility and legibility and in a language easily understood by the end-users ... where the product is marketed: ‘This product is not suitable for primary heating purposes’:\n(1)for the instruction manual for end-users this sentence shall be on the cover page of the manual;\n(2)for free-access websites of manufacturers this sentence shall be displayed together with the other characteristics of the product;\n(3)for the product packaging the sentence shall be placed in a prominent position in the packaging when displayed to the end-user prior to purchase.\nTable 1\nInformation requirements for solid fuel local space heaters\nPM = particulate matter, OGCs = organic gaseous compounds, CO = carbon monoxide, NOx = nitrogen oxides\nOnly required
