4 Pretreatment and paint

The pretreatment and paint processes used, shall provide a protective coating to all external surfaces in
contact with the air which shall:
— give protection against corrosion in normal storage and installation conditions (as demonstrated by
absence of surface corrosion after 100 h humidity test according to !a technical specification valid in
the country of destination;"
— be resistant to minor impact damage as demonstrated by a 2 mm cross-hatch test with a single blade
cutting tool manually operated according to ISO 2409:1992.
The test result shall be within the first three steps (0-1-2) of Table 1 of ISO 2409:1992.
!The paint shall not contain any chemical substances the use of which is not allowed in building
products2).
The compliance with the relevant Directive shall be stated by the manufacturer of the
radiator/convector."

5 !Dimensional tolerances and pressure tightness"

The dimensional tolerances shall not be greater than those in the manufacturer’s drawings. In any case
they shall not be greater than those given in Table 2 of EN 442-2:1996.
5.1 Material specification and wall thickness of wet heating surface
The following values for material thickness for steel radiators, tubular radiators and finned tube convectors
shall be measured before pressing or fabrication. Wall thickness of cast-iron, cast aluminium or extruded
aluminium radiators refers to the nominal drawing dimensions minus all admissible tolerances.
5.1.1 Steel radiators (radiators manufactured from steel sheet or coil)
The wet heating surface materials of steel radiators shall be low carbon steel sheet, which is free from scale
or rust and which complies with EN 10130 grade Fe PO1 and with EN 10131.
The thickness of the steel used for wet surfaces shall not be less than 1,11 mm.
The compliance with this requirement shall be verified by measuring.
5.1.2 Cast-iron radiators
Cast-iron radiators shall be manufactured from grey cast-iron complying with ISO 185.
The wet wall thickness shall not be less than 2,5 mm.
!The minimum wall thickness shall be ensured" by periodic controls of the casting equipment and
daily random production checks.
Compliance with this requirement shall be verified by measurement.
5.1.3 Cast aluminium radiators
Cast aluminium alloy radiators shall be manufactured from alloy AlSi9Cu3):
— (N. 46 000 and N. 46 001).
The wet wall thickness shall not be less than 1,5 mm.
!The minimum wall thickness shall be ensured" by periodic controls of the casting equipment and
daily random production checks.
Compliance with this requirement shall be verified by measurement.

2) !Also in relation to Directive 76/769/EEC, as amended."

5.1.4 Extruded aluminium radiators

Extruded aluminium alloy radiators shall be manufactured from wrought aluminium alloy EN AW-6060
of the EN 573-3 corresponding to the alloy AlMgSi.
The wet wall thickness shall not be less than 1,1 mm.
!The minimum wall thickness shall be ensured" by periodic controls of the extruder and daily random
production checks.
Compliance with this requirement shall be verified by measurement.
5.1.5 Tubular radiators
The material specification and gauge of tubes used in manufacture will be dependent on the tube size and
profile and on the process of assembly.
They shall nevertheless be sufficient to satisfy the general minimum requirements of 5.2 and 5.3 and the
wall thickness of the tube used shall not be less than 0,8 mm.
Compliance with this requirement shall be verified by measurement.
5.1.6 Finned tube convectors
The wall thickness of the tube shall not be less than 0,8 mm.
Compliance with this requirement shall be verified by measurement.
!5.1.7 Reaction to fire
The materials from which radiators and convectors are made (steel, cast iron and aluminium) are
considered to be reaction to fire Class A1 without the need for testing4), provided that any organic part of
the paint or coating is less than 1 % by mass or volume.
If any organic part of the paint or coating exceeds 1 % by mass or volume (whichever is the more onerous),
the material shall be tested and classified according to EN 13501-1 and the resulting class stated.
The percentage of organic part of the paint or coating is referred to the actual operating conditions of the
radiator and convector (i.e. to the mass of the metal and the mass of the water and to the volume obtained
by the product of the overall width, height and length of the radiator).
Only one model is to be tested to assess the reaction to fire of a type.
5.1.8 Other materials"
Materials (grade and thickness) other than those specified in 5.1.1 to 5.1.6 may be used provided that they
have been demonstrated by appropriate tests and/or data to:
— meet the requirements of 5.2 and 5.3;
— ensure at least equivalent performance in terms of !reaction to fire," strength and stability of the
product.
Compliance with this requirement shall be verified by measurement.
5.2 Leak testing
All heating appliances before leaving the manufacturer’s works shall be tested for leaks to a test pressure
equal to at least 1,3 times the quoted maximum operating pressure. The test pressure shall not be less
than 520 kPa.
5.3 Strength pressure testing
Sample heating appliances shall be subjected to a burst test at a pressure 1,3 times the leak testing
pressure, as specified in 5.2.
— The sample under test may deform but shall not rupture.
— The sample radiators shall not be less than 500 mm long. They shall not be sold after testing.
5.4 Surface defects
The heating appliance shall be free from burrs likely to cause personal injury.

The thermal output at other excess temperatures calculated from the regression equation of the type may
be additionally indicated.
If the outputs have been obtained in the standard installation conditions, this shall be indicated.
If the outputs have been obtained in non-standard installation conditions, the relevant conditions shall be
indicated in the test report (see Clause 7.2 of !EN 442-2:1996").
If, besides standard conditions, the outputs have been obtained in other conditions, the standard thermal
output shall be referred to the standard conditions only.

!Annex ZA (informative)
Clauses of this European Standard addressing the provisions of the
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/CEE).
Compliance with these clauses confers a presumption of fitness of the construction products covered by this
annex for their intended uses indicated herein.
WARNING. Other requirements and other EU Directives, not affecting the fitness for intended use may be
applicable to the construction products falling within the scope of this standard.

Note:
In addition to any specific clauses relating to dangerous substances contained in this European
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. An informative
database of European and national provisions on dangerous substances is available at the
Construction web site on EUROPA (CREATE, accessed through hhtp://europa.eu.int)

This annex has the same scope as Clause 1 of this standard. It establishes the conditions for the
CE marking of radiators and convectors intended for the use indicated below and the relevant clauses
applicable (see Table ZA.1).
Construction products: Radiators and convectors
Intended use: heat emitters for central heating systems to be supplied with hot water and steam
below 120 °C from a remote heat source (boiler or similar).
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 opinion
“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."
