Specification for Dedicated Liquefied Petroleum Gas Appliances - Parasol Patio Heaters - Flueless Radiant Heaters for Outdoor or Amply Ventilated Area Use
Also Known As:
The specifications and test procedures for flueless parasol patio heaters used in outdoor or well-ventilated environments are laid forth in the DIN EN 14543 standard. These appliances have a maximum nominal heat input of 17 kW and are intended for use with gases of the third family. Both stationary and portable patio heaters, including those with housings for transportable and rechargeable liquefied petroleum gas cylinders, must adhere to the standard.
It's vital to remember that this regulation does not apply to patio heaters that have an air circulation or combustion fan. Additionally, since these are regulated by other standards and national legislation, it does not address LPG canisters, regulators, tubing, or flexible hoses used for gas supply.
However, the standard does include requirements for combustion to guarantee safe and effective gas burning, even though it does not specify thermal efficiency requirements for patio heaters. An informative annex also offers a way to gauge effectiveness.
