What does the Department of Energy Equipment Research do?

More than 40 years of experience of the CUE Department in the design and testing of heating equipment enables us to offer:

• design and modernization of low-power heating appliances (up to 1 MW),
• rental of a measurement test stand (with or without an operator),
• testing of pellet burners,
• testing of storage water heaters in accordance with PN-EN 12897+A1:2020-03,
• testing of domestic hot water (DHW) storage tanks,
• testing of other low-power heating devices (e.g. air heaters),
• testing of residential solid fuel–fired appliances in accordance with the PN-EN 16510 series of standards,
• thermal and emission testing during combustion of alternative fuels,
• conducting research and development work in the field of low-power heating equipment energy engineering (up to 1 MW).

Within the Department of Energy Equipment Research operates an Accredited Laboratory (No. AB 087), which performs tests of boilers and solid fuel–fired appliances. It is the only laboratory in Poland accredited to test heating boilers with a thermal output of up to 1 MW. Obtaining a positive result of thermal and emission tests confirming compliance with the standard PN-EN 303-5:2021-09 and/or PN-EN 303-5+A1:2023-05, and meeting the requirements of Commission Regulation (EU) 2015/1189 of 28 April 2015 implementing Directive 2009/125/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to ecodesign requirements for solid fuel boilers, enables boilers to be placed on the market within the territory of the European Union.

Within the scope of accreditation and notification No. 1452, the assessment and verification of constancy of performance of products (AVCP – Assessment and Verification of Constancy of Performance, system 3) is carried out in accordance with Regulation (EU) No. 305/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 March 2011 (CPR), laying down harmonised conditions for the marketing of construction products and repealing Council Directive 89/106/EEC, in accordance with harmonised standards.

Compliance with the EN 16510 series of standards during the assessment by a notified body, together with documented factory production control, enables appliances to be placed on the market within the territory of the European Union.

The Boiler and Heating Equipment Testing Laboratory offers accredited testing of:

• roomheaters, in accordance with PN-EN 16510-2-1:2023-06,
• inset appliances including open-fire (fireplace inserts), in accordance with PN-EN 16510-2-2:2023-06,
• room heaters, built-in appliances, and cookers with mechanical feeding of wood pellets in accordance with PN-EN 16510-2-6:2023-06,
• cookers in accordance with PN-EN 16510-2-3:2023-06,
• solid fuel boilers in accordance with PN-EN 303-5,
• room heaters with heat storage in accordance with PN-EN 15250:2009,
• pellet-fired room heaters in accordance with PN-EN 14785:2009.
