BS EN 1:1998

What is BS EN 1 - Flued oil stoves with vaporizing burners about?  

BS EN 1 is a European Standard that discusses flued oil stoves with vaporizing burners. 

BS EN 1 applies to flued oil stoves with one or more vaporizing burners (hereafter referred to as ‘‘stoves’’) as used for individual heating in the domestic field and having either a draught regulator or a combustion air limiter as defined in 3.13 and a nominal heating capacity of not more than 15 kW. BS EN 1 also applies to appliances with fan assisted vaporizing burners. 

Note 1: BS EN 1 does not cover built-in appliances. 

Note 2: BS EN 1 does not cover appliances equipped with an atomizing burner. 

Note 3: BS EN 1 does not cover appliances incorporating a boiler or connected to a water system. 

Who is BS EN 1 - Flued oil stoves with vaporizing burners for?   

BS EN 1 on Flued oil stoves with vaporizing burners  is relevant to:  

• Manufacturers of flued oil stoves with vaporizing burners 
• Manufacturers of liquid fuel appliances
• Product design engineers 
• Mechanical engineers 
• Anyone involved with commissioning, installation and operation of flued oil stoved with vaporizing burners 
• Quality control and testing authorities 
• Local bodies 

Why should you use BS EN 1 - Flued oil stoves with vaporizing burners?   

Since flued oil stoves with vaporizing burners are associated with the production of heat using fire as the output, these appliances can pose as a hazard if not manufactured keeping best industry requirements in mind. 

BS EN 1 specifies the constructional and operating requirements, conditions for functional testing, and marking and instructions for flued oil stoves with vaporizing burners.  

BS EN 1 also provides best industry guidance on the materials, as well as the shape and dimensions of the components, which ensures that, provided the operational procedures are met and with the associated mechanical, chemical and thermal stresses which occur, the stoves can remain safe and operable over a given period.  

BS EN 1 also walks you through the short term and long term tests as well operational tests for flued oil stoves with vaporizing burners, that help demonstrate whether your products are fit for purpose. Guidance on type testing and factory production control (FPC) is also covered that can guide a manufacturer for end-to-end verification, testing, and inspection of components. 

Thus, BS EN 1 helps you in manufacturing, assessing and verifying the reliability of flued oil stoves with vaporizing burners. This further helps you in maintaining the quality of the product, for hazard-free and effective use.
