Boiler Efficiency Testing

It’s important that manufacturers have an accurate knowledge of the efficiency of their boilers. The EcoDesign regulation for Energy-Related Products Regulations covers all domestic boilers fuelled by gas and/or oil.

Kiwa Energy tests gas, solid fuel and oil-fired boilers to help you to demonstrate compliance with EcoDesign efficiency requirements. These are our activities:

BS EN 483:2000 - Gas-fired central heating boilers – Type C boilers with a nominal heat input not exceeding 70kW
BS EN 303-2:1999 – Heating boilers with forced draught burners – special requirements for boilers with atomising oil burners
BS EN 303-3:1999 – Heating boilers – Gas-fired central heating boilers–assembly comprising a boiler body and a forced draught burner
BS EN 304:2017 – Heating boilers – test code for heating boilers for atomising oil burners
BS EN 303-6:2000 – Gas-fired central heating boilers – type B11 and B11 BS boilers fitted with atmospheric burners of nominal heat input not exceeding 70kW
BS EN 15502-1:2012+A1:2015 Part 1 – General requirements and tests, clause 9 only.
BS EN 15502-2-2:2014 Part 2-2, clause 9 only.
OFS A100 – Condensing and non-condensing heating boilers with atomising burners outputs up to 70kW
BS EN 89:2015 Gas-fired storage water heaters for the production of domestic hot water.

Kiwa Energy has been at the forefront of the use of BS845 to close the energy balance during continuous test work. Although not definitive, this technique is extremely useful at verifying useful efficiencies.

Please note that not every test method listed above is covered by our UKAS accreditation, but we apply the same technical rigour to all its procedures as if for UKAS accreditation.
Energy efficiency is an ever-increasing activity for us, and we are constantly developing new techniques and methods to test, for example, electrical water heater efficiency, electric oven efficiency, and boiler efficiency assessment under a dynamic heat load.

The EcoDesign regulation whilst in principle could apply to all products which use energy, is targeting various 'lots' of technologies in phased tranches. Among these first tranches are hot water boilers, water heaters, biomass boilers and standby electricity. Kiwa Energy is working with manufacturers across these areas to assist with compliance under the ErP.
