This European Standard is applicable to hand fired residential cookers 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.

This European Standard specifies requirements relating to the design, manufacture, construction, safety and performance (efficiency and emission) of residential cookers fired by solid fuel (hereafter referred to as "appliance(s)") and provides instructions for them. Furthermore, it also gives provisions for evaluation of conformity (i.e. initial type testing (ITT) and factory production control (FPC) and marking of these products.

These appliances may burn either solid mineral fuels, lignite briquettes, 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.
