This European Standard specifies requirements relating to the design, manufacture, construction, safety and performance (efficiency and emission) instructions and marking together with associated test methods and test fuels for type testing residential roomheaters fired by solid fuel.

This Standard is applicable to non-mechanically fired appliances, which are listed under categories 1a and 2a of Table 1. These appliances provide heat into the space where they are installed. Additionally, where fitted with a boiler, they also provide domestic hot water and/or central heating. These appliances may burn either solid mineral fuels, peat briquettes, natural or manufactured wood logs or be multi-fuel in accordance with the appliance manufacturer's instructions.

This standard is not applicable to appliances with fan assisted combustion air.
