ANNEX I Definitions applicable to Annexes II to X For the purposes of Annexes II to X the following definitions shall apply: (1) ‘model identifier’ means the code, usually alphanumeric, which distinguishes a specific model comprising a solid fuel boiler or a package of a solid fuel boiler, supplementary heaters, temperature controls and solar devices from other models with the same trade mark, supplier's name or dealer's name; (2) ‘seasonal space heating energy efficiency’ or ‘ η s ’ means the ratio between the space heating demand for a designated heating season, supplied by a solid fuel boiler and the annual energy consumption required to meet this demand, expressed in %; (3) ‘electrical efficiency’ or ‘ η el ’ means the ratio of the electricity output and the total energy input of a solid fuel cogeneration boiler, whereby the total energy input is expressed in terms of GCV or in terms of final energy multiplied by CC ; (4) ‘gross calorific value’ or ‘ GCV ’ means the total amount of heat released by a unit quantity of fuel containing the appropriate moisture content, when it is burned completely with oxygen, and when the products of combustion are returned to ambient temperature; this quantity includes the condensation heat of the water vapour formed by the combustion of any hydrogen contained in the fuel; (5) ‘conversion coefficient’ or ‘ CC ’ means a coefficient reflecting the estimated 40 % average EU generation efficiency referred to in Directive 2012/27/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council ( 1 ) ; the value of the conversion coefficient is CC = 2,5; (6) ‘temperature control fiche’ means the product fiche required to be provided for temperature controls by Article 3(3)(a) of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 811/2013; (7) ‘boiler fiche’ means for solid fuel boilers the product fiche required to be provided by Article 3(1)(c) of this Regulation and for boilers other than solid fuel boilers the product fiche required to be provided for such boilers by Article 3(1)(b) of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 811/2013;

(10) ‘condensing boiler’ means a solid fuel boiler in which, under normal operating conditions and at given operating water temperatures, the water vapour in the combustion products is partially condensed, in order to make use of the latent heat of this water vapour for heating purposes; (11) ‘other woody biomass’ means woody biomass other than: log wood with a moisture content of 25 % or less, chipped wood with a moisture content of 15 % or higher, compressed wood in the form of pellets or briquettes, or sawdust with a moisture content equal or less than 50 %; (12) ‘moisture content’ means the mass of water in the fuel in relation to the total mass of the fuel as used in solid fuel boilers; (13) ‘other fossil fuel’ means fossil fuel other than bituminous coal, brown coal (including briquettes), coke, anthracite or blended fossil fuel briquettes; (14) ‘electric power requirement at maximum heat output’ or ‘ el max ’ means the electric power consumption of the solid fuel boiler at rated heat output, expressed in kW, excluding electricity consumption from a back-up heater and from incorporated secondary emission abatement equipment; (15) ‘electric power requirement at minimum heat output’ or ‘ el min ’ means the electric power consumption of the solid fuel boiler at applicable part load, expressed in kW, excluding electricity consumption from a back-up heater and from incorporated secondary emission abatement equipment; (16) ‘back-up heater’ means a Joule-effect electric resistance element that generates heat only to prevent the solid fuel boiler or the water based central heating system from freezing or when the external heat source supply is disrupted (including during maintenance periods) or out of order; (17) ‘applicable part load’ means for automatically stoked solid fuel boilers, operation at 30 % of rated heat output, and for manually stoked solid fuel boilers that can be operated at 50 % of rated heat output, operation at 50 % of rated heat output; (18) ‘standby mode power consumption’ or ‘ P SB ’ means the power consumption of a solid fuel boiler in standby mode, excluding from incorporated secondary emission abatement equipment, expressed in kW; (19) ‘standby mode’ means a condition where the solid fuel boiler is connected to the mains power source, depends on energy input from the mains power source to work as intended and provides only the following functions, which may persist for an indefinite time: reactivation function, or reactivation function and only an indication of enabled reactivation function, or information or status display; (20) ‘seasonal space heating energy efficiency in active mode’ or ‘ η son ’ means (a) for automatically stoked solid fuel boilers, a weighted average of the useful efficiency at rated heat output and the useful efficiency at 30 % of the rated heat output; (b) for manually stoked solid fuel boilers that can be operated at 50 % of the rated heat output in continuous mode, a weighted average of the useful efficiency at rated heat output and the useful efficiency at 50 % of the rated heat output; (c) for manually stoked solid fuel boilers that cannot be operated at 50 % or less of the rated heat output in continuous mode, the useful efficiency at rated heat output; (d) for solid fuel cogeneration boilers, the useful efficiency at rated heat output; (21) ‘useful efficiency’ or ‘ η ’ means the ratio of the useful heat output and the total energy input of a solid fuel boiler, whereby the total energy input is expressed in terms of GCV or in terms of final energy multiplied by CC ; (22) ‘useful heat output’ or ‘ P ’ means the heat output of a solid fuel boiler transmitted to the heat carrier, expressed in kW; (23) ‘fossil fuel boiler’ means a solid fuel boiler that has fossil fuel or a blend of biomass and fossil fuel as the preferred fuel; (24) ‘gross calorific value moisture free’ or ‘ GCV mf ’ means the total amount of heat released by a unit quantity of fuel dried of inherent moisture, when it is burned completely with oxygen, and when the products of combustion are returned to ambient temperature; this quantity includes the condensation heat of the water vapour formed by the combustion of any hydrogen contained in the fuel; (25) ‘equivalent model’ means a model placed on the market with the same technical parameters set out in Table 4 of point 1 of Annex V, as another model placed on the market by the same supplier.
