This document applies to household appliances intended for outdoor use capable of working with gases of the second family or second and third family.

The scope of this document is the same as the scope of the product standards developed by the European Technical Committee CEN/TC 181 covering the same type of appliance but limited to the use of liquefied petroleum gases, hereinafter referred to as ‘the product standard’.

This document applies to the manufacturing, testing and marking of appliances prior to their placing on the market and during further assessments. This document is not intended to be used for changing the gas category of an appliance already put on the market.

This document specifies the modifications of the appliances allowed to change the type of gas to be used depending of its gas category.

This document specifies the complementary information and requirement about constructional and performance characteristics, safety specifications and rational use of energy, relevant test methods and marking of household appliances intended for outdoor use capable of operating with second-family gases (defined in EN 437:2021).

This document does not apply to appliances burning liquefied petroleum gases at the vapour pressure within the gas cartridge or gas cylinder.

This document does not apply to appliances under the scope of EN 449:2002+A1:2007.
