ANNEX II Ecodesign requirements 1. Specific ecodesign requirements From 1 January 2020 solid fuel boilers shall comply with the following requirements: (a) seasonal space heating energy efficiency for boilers with a rated heat output of 20 kW or less shall not be less than 75 %; (b) seasonal space heating energy efficiency for boilers with a rated heat output of more than 20 kW shall not be less than 77 %; (c) seasonal space heating emissions of particulate matter shall not be higher than 40 mg/m 3 for automatically stoked boilers and not be higher than 60 mg/m 3 for manually stoked boilers; (d) seasonal space heating emissions of organic gaseous compounds shall not be higher than 20 mg/m 3 for automatically stoked boilers and not be higher than 30 mg/m 3 for manually stoked boilers; (e) seasonal space heating emissions of carbon monoxide shall not be higher than 500 mg/m 3 for automatically stoked boilers and not be higher than 700 mg/m 3 for manually stoked boilers; (f) seasonal space heating emissions of nitrogen oxides, expressed in nitrogen dioxide, shall not be higher than 200 mg/m 3 for biomass boilers and not be higher than 350 mg/m 3 for fossil fuel boilers; These requirements shall be met for the preferred fuel and for any other suitable fuel for the solid fuel boiler. 2. Requirements for product information From 1 January 2020 the following product information on solid fuel boilers shall be provided: (a) in the instruction manuals for installers and end-users, and on the free-access websites of manufacturers, their authorised representatives and importers: (1) the information included in Table 1, with its technical parameters measured and calculated in accordance with Annex III and showing the number of significant figures indicated in the table; (2) any specific precautions to be taken when the solid fuel boiler is assembled, installed or maintained; (3) instruction on the proper way to operate the solid fuel boiler and on the quality requirements for the preferred fuel and any other suitable fuels; (4) for solid fuel heat generators designed for solid fuel boilers, and solid fuel boiler housings to be equipped with such heat generators, their characteristics, the requirements for assembly (to ensure compliance with the ecodesign requirements for solid fuel boilers) and, where appropriate, the list of combinations recommended by the manufacturer; (b) on a part for professionals of the free-access websites of manufacturers, their authorised representatives and importers: information relevant to disassembly, recycling and disposal at end-of-life; (c) in the technical documentation for the purposes of conformity assessment pursuant to Article 4: (1) the information listed in points (a) and (b); (2) a list of all equivalent models, if applicable; (3) where the preferred fuel or any other suitable fuel is other woody biomass, non-woody biomass, other fossil fuel or other blend of biomass and fossil fuel as referred to in Table 1, a description of the fuel sufficient for its unambiguous identification and the technical standard or specification of the fuel, including the measured moisture content, and the measured ash content, and for other fossil fuel also the measured volatile content of the fuel; (d) the electrical capacity, marked in a permanent manner on the solid fuel cogeneration boiler. The information referred to in point (c) may be merged with the technical documentation provided in accordance with measures under Directive 2010/30/EU.
