ZA (informative)
Relationship between this European Standard and the Essential Requirements
of EU Directive 89/106/EEC, EU Construction Products Directive
ZA.1 Scope and relevant characteristics
This European Standard has been prepared under Mandate M/129 Space heating appliances given to
CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association.
The clauses of this European Standard shown in this annex meet the requirements of the Mandate given
under the EU Construction Products Directive (89/106/EEC).
Compliance with these clauses confers a presumption of fitness of the construction products covered by this
annex for their intended uses indicated herein. reference shall be made to the information accompanying
the CE marking.
WARNING: Other requirements and other EU Directives, not affecting the fitness for intended use can be
applicable to the construction products falling within the scope of this standard.
NOTE 1 In addition to any specific clauses relating to dangerous substances contained in this standard, there may be other
requirements applicable to the products falling within its scope (e.g. transposed European legislation and national laws, regulations
and administrative provisions). In order to meet the provisions of the EU Construction Products Directive, these requirements need
also to be complied with, when and where they apply.
NOTE 2 An informative database of European and national provisions on dangerous substances is available at the Construction web
site on EUROPA (accessed through http://europa.eu.int/comm/enterprise/construction/internal/ dangsub/dangmain.htm).
This annex has the same scope as Clause 1 of this standard. It establishes the conditions for the CE
marking of oil stoves including open fires intended for the use indicated below and the relevant clauses
applicable (see Table ZA.1).
Construction Product: Oil stove with vaporizing burner mounted to a chimney.
Intended uses: Space heating in buildings

!The requirement on a certain characteristic is not applicable in those Member States where there are
no regulatory requirements on that characteristic for the intended end use of the product. In this case,
manufacturers placing their products on the market of these Member States are not obliged to determine
nor declare the performance of their products with regard to this characteristic and the option No
performance determined (NPD) in the information accompanying the CE marking (see Clause ZA.3) may
be used. The NPD option may not be used, however, where the characteristic is subject to a threshold level.
ZA.2 Procedure for the attestation of conformity of oil stoves
ZA.2.1 System of attestation of conformity
The system of attestation of conformity of fuel oil stoves indicated in Table ZA.1, in accordance with the
decision of the Commission 99/471 of 1999-09-17 amended by 01/596/EC and as given in Annex III of the
mandate for flued oil stove, is shown in Table ZA.2 for the indicated intended use(s) and relevant level(s)
and class(es).
