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 cooking appliances fired by solid fuel.

This Standard is applicable to hand fired appliances whose primary function is to cook and whose secondary function is to provide heat into the space in which 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 hopper fed or mechanically fired appliances or those appliances having fan assisted combustion air.
