Successful notification according to EN 16510
We were one of the first European laboratories to receive notification in relation to the new EN 16510 series of standards. The notification certificate was sent to us by the Deutsches Institut für Bautechnik, which means that we are now authorized to issue test reports in accordance with EN 16510.
The notification concerns the following construction products:
| EN 16510-2-1 | Roomheaters |
| EN 16510-2-2 | inset appliances including open fires |
| EN 16510-2-3 | Cookers |
| EN 16510-2-6 | Mechanically by wood pellets fed roomheaters, inset appliances and cookers |
The notified bodies have submitted a draft on the use of historical data related to part 2-1 (room heaters) to the European Commission. The decision will be communicated within the next 14 days.
The proposal for the use of historical data for the other parts of the standard EN 16510 2-2 to 2-6 will be processed by the notified bodies in the coming week.
The EN 16510 series of standards replaces the standards EN 13240, EN 13229, EN 12815, EN 12809, EN 14785 and thus the majority of standards for small fireplaces. From 09.11.2025, the fireplaces concerned must be placed on the market with a test report in accordance with the corresponding part of EN 16510. The standard for storage fireplaces EN 15250 will be harmonized at a later date and is not yet acutely affected.

You are welcome to contact us about tests in accordance with EN 16510 or the use of historical data from your fireplaces.
