Division 1 Specific ecodesign requirements

From 1 January 2020 solid fuel boilers shall comply with the following requirements:

1. (a)

   seasonal space heating energy efficiency for boilers with a rated heat output of 20 kW or less shall not be less than 75 %;

2. (b)

   seasonal space heating energy efficiency for boilers with a rated heat output of more than 20 kW shall not be less than 77 %;

3. (c)

   seasonal space heating emissions of particulate matter shall not be higher than 40 mg/m³ for automatically stoked boilers and not be higher than 60 mg/m³ for manually stoked boilers;

4. (d)

   seasonal space heating emissions of organic gaseous compounds shall not be higher than 20 mg/m³ for automatically stoked boilers and not be higher than 30 mg/m³ for manually stoked boilers;

5. (e)

   seasonal space heating emissions of carbon monoxide shall not be higher than 500 mg/m³ for automatically stoked boilers and not be higher than 700 mg/m³ for manually stoked boilers;

6. (f)

   seasonal space heating emissions of nitrogen oxides, expressed in nitrogen dioxide, shall not be higher than 200 mg/m³ for biomass boilers and not be higher than 350 mg/m³ for fossil fuel boilers;

These requirements shall be met for the preferred fuel and for any other suitable fuel for the solid fuel boiler.
