National foreword

This British Standard is the UK implementation of EN 16510‑2‑2:2022. Together with BS EN 16510-1:2022 it supersedes BS EN 13229:2001+A2:2004, which is withdrawn.

The UK participation in its preparation was entrusted to Technical Committee RHE/28, Domestic solid mineral fuel appliances.

A list of organizations represented on this committee can be obtained on request to its committee manager.

The recipient is advised to consider seeking professional guidance with respect to its use of this publication.

This publication is not intended to constitute a contract. Users are responsible for its correct application.

This publication has been prepared under a mandate given to the European Standards Organizations by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association. It is intended to support requirements of the EU legislation detailed in the European Foreword. A European Annex, usually Annex ZA or ZZ, describes how this publication relates to that EU legislation.

For the Great Britain market (England, Scotland and Wales), if UK Government has designated this publication for conformity with UKCA marking (or similar) legislation, it may contain an additional National Annex. Where such a National Annex exists, it shows the correlation between this publication and the relevant UK legislation. If there is no National Annex of this kind, the relevant Annex ZA or ZZ in the body of the European text will indicate the relationship to UK regulation applicable in Great Britain. References to EU legislation may need to be read in accordance with the UK designation and the applicable UK law. Further information on designated standards can be found at

www.bsigroup.com/standardsandregulation.

For the Northern Ireland market, UK law will continue to implement relevant EU law subject to periodic confirmation. Therefore Annex ZA/ZZ in the European text, and references to EU legislation, are still valid for this market.

UK Government is responsible for legislation. For information on legislation and policies relating to that legislation, consult the relevant pages of www.gov.uk.

Compliance with a British Standard cannot confer immunity from legal obligations.

This British Standard was published under the authority of the Standards Policy and Strategy Committee on 31 January 2023.

This European Standard was approved by CEN on 23 October 2022.

Up-to-date lists and bibliographical references concerning such national standards may be obtained on application to the CEN-CENELEC Management Centre or to any CEN member.

This European Standard exists in three official versions (English, French, German). A version in any other language made by translation under the responsibility of a CEN member into its own language and notified to the CEN-CENELEC Management Centre has the same status as the official versions.

CEN members are the national standards bodies of Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Republic of North Macedonia, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Türkiye and United Kingdom.

European foreword

This document (EN 16510‑2‑2:2022) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 295 “Residential solid fuel burning appliances”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI.

This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by June 2023, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by November 2025.

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

This document supersedes EN 13229:2001 as amended and corrected. In relation to EN 13229:2001 as amended and corrected the following changes have been made:

measurement methods for NO_x, hydrocarbon and particulate matter emissions for solid fuel burning appliances;

requirements for the safety of solid fuel burning appliances with water-bearing components added;
Annex ZA updated according to requirements of M/577;
energy efficiency and energy class labelling and seasonal space heating efficiency added;
requirements for environmental sustainability added.

This document has been prepared under a standardization request given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association.

For relationship with (EU) Regulation 305/2011, see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this document.

The structure of EN 16510, Residential solid fuel burning appliances, is as follows:

Part 1: General requirements and test methods;
Part 2-1: Roomheaters;
Part 2-2: Inset appliances including open fires;
Part 2-3: Cookers;
Part 2-4: Independent boilers — Nominal heat output up to 50 kW;
Part 2-5: Slow heat release appliances;
Part 2-6: Mechanically by wood pellets fed roomheaters, inset appliances and cookers.

Other sections of Part 2 will be added to cover residential solid fuel burning appliances not included in parts 2-1 to 2-6.

Subclauses and Figures which are additional to those in EN 16510‑1:2022 are numbered starting with 201. Annexes which are additional to those in EN 16510‑1:2022 are numbered starting with BA.

Any feedback and questions on this document should be directed to the users’ national standards body. A complete listing of these bodies can be found on the CEN website.

According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Republic of North Macedonia, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Türkiye and the United Kingdom.

1 Scope

This document is applicable to inset appliances including open fires for solid fuel (hand fed solid fuel fired inset appliances, with or without functional modification, that operate without fire doors or operate with fire doors either as closed only or as closed or open, and also includes open fires fired by solid fuel).

The intended use of the appliances is space heating in residential buildings. They can be fitted with a boiler (integral part of the appliance containing water to be heated up) for the supply of hot water for central heating systems.

The surround of these appliances is integrated with the building with the exception of free-standing appliances and those inset appliances which are installed into a fireplace recess or enclosure.

These appliances can burn one or more types of the following solid fuels as specified:

wood logs;
compressed untreated wood;
wood pellets;
lignite briquettes;
solid mineral fuels;
peat briquettes.

This document is also applicable to Kachelofen/Putzofen inset appliances, having nominal heat outputs up to 15 kW.

This document is not applicable to appliances with fan assisted combustion air or appliances that are mechanically fed.

Open fireplace components such as a bottomgrate with associated fire front which are intended for installation into an existing heat resistant, insulated firebox are not covered by this document.

This document specifies procedures for assessment and verification of constancy of performance (AVCP) of characteristics of solid fuel burning inset appliances including open fires.
