• Arrangement of the heater
– Parts of the structure and other components near
the heater must be protected from excess heat
exposure and possible contamination from fuel or
oil.
– The heater must not pose a fire hazard even when
it overheats.
This requirement is deemed to be fulfilled when
adequate clearance to all parts is observed during
installation, sufficient ventilation is provided and
fire-proof materials or heat plates are used.
– The heater must not be located in the passenger
compartment in vehicles of class M
1
, M
2
, M
3
and N.
A unit may however be used in a hermetically sealed
housing which also corresponds to the conditions
stated above.
– The factory nameplate or duplicate must be affixed
so that it can still be easily read when the heater
is installed in the vehicle.
– All appropriate precautions must be taken when
arranging the heater to minimise the risk of injuries
to persons or damage to other property.
• Fuel supply
– The fuel intake connection must not be located in
the passenger compartment and must be sealed
with a properly closing lid to prevent any fuel leaks.
– In heaters for liquid fuel where the heater fuel is
separate from the vehicle fuel, the type of fuel and
intake connection must be clearly identified.
– A warning sign is to be fixed to the intake
connection indicating that the heater must be
switched off before refuelling.
• Exhaust system
– The exhaust outlet must be arranged so as to
prevent any penetration of exhaust fumes into the
vehicle interior through the ventilation system,
warm air intakes or open windows.
• Combustion air intake
– The air for the heater combustion chamber must
not be sucked in from the passenger compartment
of the vehicle.
– The air intake must be arranged or protected in
such a way that it cannot be blocked by other
objects.
• Operating status display
– A clearly visible operating display in the user’s
field of vision must indicate when the heater is
switched on and off.
