Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

(a) From 1 January 2018 the following product information on local space heaters shall be provided:
(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:
(1) for gaseous or liquid fuel local space heaters, the information set out in Table 1, with its technical parameters measured and calculated in accordance with Annex III and showing the significant figures indicated in the table;
(2) for electric local space heaters, the information set out in Table 2, with its technical parameters measured and calculated in accordance with Annex III and showing the significant figures indicated in the table;
(3) for commercial local space heaters, the information set out in Table 3, with its technical parameters measured and calculated in accordance with Annex III and showing the significant figures indicated in the table;
(4) any specific precautions that must be taken when the local space heater is assembled, installed or maintained;
(5) information relevant to disassembly, recycling and/or disposal at end-of-life;
(ii) the technical documentation for the purposes of conformity assessment pursuant to Article 4 shall contain the following elements:
(1) the elements specified in point (a);
(2) a list of all equivalent models, if applicable.
(b) From 1 January 2018 the following product information on local space heaters shall be provided:
(i) for flueless local space heaters and open to chimney 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 of the Member State where the product is marketed: ‘This product is not suitable for primary heating purposes’;
(1) for the instruction manual for end-users this sentence shall be on the cover page of the manual;
(2) for free-access websites of manufacturers this sentence shall be displayed together with the other characteristics of the product;
(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;
(ii) for electric portable 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 of the Member State where the product is marketed: ‘This product is only suitable for well insulated spaces or occasional use.’:
(1) for the instruction manual for end-users this sentence shall be on the cover page of the manual;
(2) for free-access websites of manufacturers this sentence shall be displayed together with the other characteristics of the product;
(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.
