# Commission Regulation (EU) 2015/1189 of 28 April 2015 implementing Directive 2009/125/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to ecodesign requirements for solid fuel boilers (Text with EEA relevance), Division 2: Requirements for product information

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

From 1 January 2020 the following product information on solid fuel boilers shall be provided:
(a) in the instruction manuals for installers and end-users, and on the free-access websites of manufacturers, their authorised representatives and importers:
(1) the 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;
(2) any specific precautions to be taken when the solid fuel boiler is assembled, installed or maintained;
(3) instruction on the proper way to operate the solid fuel boiler and on the quality requirements for the preferred fuel and any other suitable fuels;
(4) for solid fuel heat generators designed for solid fuel boilers, and solid fuel boiler housings to be equipped with such heat generators, their characteristics, the requirements for assembly (to ensure compliance with the ecodesign requirements for solid fuel boilers) and, where appropriate, the list of combinations recommended by the manufacturer;
(b) on a part for professionals of the free-access websites of manufacturers, their authorised representatives and importers: information relevant to disassembly, recycling and disposal at end-of-life;
(c) in the technical documentation for the purposes of conformity assessment pursuant to Article 4:
(1) the information listed in points (a) and (b);
(2) a list of all equivalent models, if applicable;
(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;
(d) the electrical capacity, marked in a permanent manner on the solid fuel cogeneration boiler.
The information referred to in point (c) may be merged with the technical documentation provided in accordance with measures under Directive 2010/30/EU.
