ANNEX VSupplementary provisions
ANNEX V Indicative benchmarks referred to in Article 6 At the time of entry into force of this Regulation, the best available technology on the market for solid fuel local space heaters in terms of seasonal space heating energy efficiency and emissions of particulate matter, carbon monoxide, organic gaseous compounds and nitrogen oxides was identified as follows. At the time of entry into force of this Regulation, no single solid fuel local space heater was identified meeting all the values specified in points 1 to 5. Several solid fuel local space heaters met one or more of these values: 1. Specific benchmarks for seasonal space heating energy efficiency of solid fuel local space heaters. (a) benchmark for seasonal space heating energy efficiency of open fronted solid fuel local space heaters: 47 %; (b) benchmark for seasonal space heating energy efficiency of closed fronted solid fuel local space heaters using solid fuel other than compressed wood in the form of pellets: 86 %; (c) benchmark for seasonal space heating energy efficiency of closed fronted solid fuel local space heaters using compressed wood in the form of pellets: 94 %; (d) benchmark for seasonal space heating energy efficiency of cookers using solid fuel: 75 %. 2. Specific benchmarks for emissions of particulate matter (PM) by solid fuel local space heaters. (a) benchmark for emissions of PM by open fronted solid fuel local space heaters, closed fronted solid fuel local space heaters using solid fuel other than compressed wood in the form of pellets and cookers: 20 mg/m 3 at 13 % O 2 when measured according to the method described in Annex III, point 4(a)(i)(1); (b) benchmark for emissions of PM by closed fronted solid fuel local space heaters using compressed wood in the form of pellets: 10 mg/m 3 at 13 % O 2 when measured according to the method described in Annex III, point 4(a)(i)(1). 3. Specific benchmarks for emissions of organic gaseous compounds (OGCs) by solid fuel local space heaters. (a) benchmark for emissions of OGCs by open fronted solid fuel local space heaters, closed fronted solid fuel local space heaters using solid fuel other than compressed wood in the form of pellets and cookers: 30 mg/m 3 at 13 % O 2 ; (b) benchmark for emissions of OGCs by closed fronted solid fuel local space heaters using compressed wood in the form of pellets: 10 mg/m 3 at 13 % O 2 . 4. Specific benchmarks for emissions of carbon monoxide (CO) by solid fuel local space heaters. (a) benchmark for emissions of CO by open fronted solid fuel local space heaters, closed fronted solid fuel local space heaters using solid fuel other than compressed wood in the form of pellets and cookers: 500 mg/m 3 at 13 % O 2 ; (b) benchmark for emissions of CO by closed fronted solid fuel local space heaters using solid fuel other than compressed wood in the form of pellets: 250 mg/m 3 at 13 % O 2 . 5. Specific benchmarks for emissions of nitrogen oxides (NO x ) by solid fuel local space heaters. (a) benchmark for emissions of NO x by open fronted solid fuel local space heaters, closed fronted solid fuel local space heaters and cookers: 50 mg/m 3 at 13 % O 2. The benchmarks specified in points 1 to 5 do not necessarily imply that a combination of those values is achievable for a single solid fuel local space heater. For closed fronted solid fuel local space heaters using solid fuel other than compressed wood in the form of pellets an example of a good combination is an existing model with a seasonal space heating efficiency of 83 %, emissions of particulate matter of 33 mg/m 3 at 13 % O 2 , emissions of organic gaseous compounds of 69 mg/m 3 at 13 % O 2 , of emissions carbon monoxide of 1 125 mg/m 3 at 13 % O 2 and emissions of nitrogen oxides of 115 mg/m 3 at 13 % O 2 . For closed fronted solid fuel local space heaters using compressed wood in the form of pellets an example of a good combination is an existing model with a seasonal space heating efficiency of 91 %, emissions of particulate matter of 22 mg/m 3 at 13 % O 2 , emissions of organic gaseous compounds of 6 mg/m 3 at 13 % O 2 , emissions of carbon monoxide of 312 mg/m 3 at 13 % O 2 and emissions of nitrogen oxides of 121 mg/m 3 at 13 % O 2 . For cookers an example of a good combination is an existing model with a seasonal space heating efficiency of 78 %, emissions of particulate matter of 38 mg/m 3 at 13 % O 2 , emissions of organic gaseous compounds of 66 mg/m 3 at 13 % O 2 , emissions of carbon monoxide of 1 375 mg/m 3 at 13 % O 2 and emissions of nitrogen oxides of 71 mg/m 3 at 13 % O 2 .
