This Communique applies to the following related products:

(1) This Communiqué covers domestic local space heaters with a nominal thermal power of 50 kW or less and commercial local space heaters with a nominal thermal power of 300 kW or less of the product itself or a single pipe section and the related separate controls.

(2) This Communiqué shall not cover:

(a) local space heaters using a vapour compression cycle or sorption cycle for the generation of heat driven by electricity or fuel;

(b) local space heaters designed, tested, marketed and declared exclusively for outdoor use;

(c) local space heaters of which the direct heat output is less than 6 % of the combined direct heat output and indirect heat output at nominal heat output;

(d) air heating products;

(e) sauna stoves;

(f) cooking appliances.

(3) Manufacturers, importers or authorised representatives shall not consider a product to fall outside the scope of this Communiqué on the basis of paragraph 2, if the design, the technical characteristics, the intended use, the marketing claims or any other information provided by the manufacturer, importer or authorised representative accompanying that product do not sufficiently distinguish it from local space heaters covered by this Communiqué.
