15、 by SC 59C, Heating appliances, of IEC TC 59, Performance of household electrical appliances, together with the common modifications prepared by the Technical Committee CENELEC TC 59X, Consumer information related to household electrical appliances, was submitted to the formal vote and was approved
16、by CENELEC as EN 60379 on 2003-11-01. This European Standard supersedes HD 500 S1:1988. It only modifies some clauses for clarification, for better reproducibility and for better information to the consumer. The following dates were fixed: This European Standard, based on HD 500 S1:1988, has been pr
17、epared by the Technical Committee CENELEC TC 59X due to the draft implementing Directive of the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association on the indication of the energy consumption of electric storage water heaters. According to this draft implementing Directive the energy consump
18、tion to be declared in kWh/year refers only to standing loss without water withdrawal and the classification of the energy efficiency is derived from this standing loss. Clauses and subclauses which are additional to those in IEC 60379 are prefixed “Z”. Technical differences to HD 500 S1:1988 are: a
19、) definition of the rated capacity (in order to clarify the term “storage temperature” used in the draft implementing Directive); b) general conditions for measurement; c) verification of the rated capacity; d) standing loss at 24 h; e) tolerances and control procedures; f) no declaration to provide
20、; g) accuracy of instrumentation; h) tolerances; i) mixed water quantity at 40 C. Endorsement notice The text of the International Standard IEC 60379:1987 was approved by CENELEC as a European Standard with agreed common modifications.

24、01EN 60379:2004 BSI 19 March 2004 3 SECTION ONE GENERAL 1 Scope This standard applies to electric storage water-heaters for household purposes. This standard does not apply to: water-heaters using other sources of energy (e.g. solar energy); water-heaters with more than one heated volume; water-heat
25、ers without thermal insulation. The common modifications supplement, as far as necessary, test methods which shall be applied in accordance with a Commissions Directive, which is based on standing loss only, implementing Council Directive 92/75/EEC with regard to energy labelling of household electr
26、ic storage water heaters. Clauses defining permitted tolerances to values declared by the manufacturer and control procedures for checking these declared values are added. 2 Object The purpose of this standard is to state and define the principal performance characteristics of electric storage water
27、-heaters which are of interest to the user and to describe the standard methods for measuring these characteristics. This standard is concerned neither with safety nor with performance requirements. SECTION TWO DEFINITIONS AND LETTER SYMBOLS For the purpose of this standard, the following definition
28、s and letter symbols apply. 3 Terms used to designate appliances 3.1 Storage water-heater An appliance intended for heating water in a thermally well-insulated container, for the long-term storage of the heated water, and provided with a device to control the water temperature 4 Terms used to classi
