What does the Power Engineering Equipment Research Department do?

The Power Engineering Equipment Research Department's more than 40 years of experience in the design and testing of heating equipment enables us to:

• design and modernization of low-power heating equipment (up to 1 MW),
• rental of a measuring station (with or without an operator),
• testing of pellet burners,
• testing of capacity water heaters according to PN-EN 12897+A1:2020-03,
• testing of hot water storage tanks,
• testing of other low-power heating devices (e.g. air heaters).
• residential solid fuel burning appliances according to PN-EN 16510 series of standards
• thermo-emission tests in the combustion of alternative fuels,
• conducting research and development in the power industry of low-power heating devices (up to 1 MW).

As part of the Department of Power Equipment Testing, there is an Accredited Laboratory (No. AB 087), which performs testing of boilers and equipment for solid fuels. It is the only laboratory in Poland accredited to test heating boilers with thermal power up to 1 MW. Obtaining a positive result of thermal-emission tests for compliance with PN-EN 303-5:2021-09 and/or PN-EN 303-5+A1:2023-05 fulfills the requirements of the European Commission Regulation (EU) 2015/1189 of April 28, 2015 on the implementation of Directive 2009/125/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to ecodesign requirements for solid fuel boilers allows boilers to be marketed in the territory of the European Union.

Within the framework of accreditation and notification No. 1452, the assessment and verification of constancy of performance of products (AVCP Assessment and Verification of Constancy of Performance, system3) is carried out according to the Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council (EU) No. 305/2011 of March 9, 2011. (CPR) establishing harmonized conditions for the marketing of construction products and repealing Council Directive 89/106/EEC according to harmonized standards:

• solid fuel space heaters according to PN-EN 13240:2008,
• fireplace inserts for solid fuels PN-EN 13229:2002,
• cookers for solid fuels PN-EN 12815:2004,
• accumulation space heaters according to PN-EN 15250:2009,
• pellet-fired space heaters according to PN-EN 14785:2009.

Meeting the requirements of the above standards during the assessment of the notified body, together with documented factory production control, allows the equipment to be placed on the market in the territory of the European Union.

Boiler and Heating Equipment Testing Laboratory offers accredited testing:

• room heaters according to PN-EN 16510-2-1:2023-06,
• built-in appliances, including those with open fires (fireplace inserts) according to PN-EN 16510-2-2:2023-06,
• room heaters, built-in appliances and stoves with mechanical feeding of wood pellets according to PN-EN 16510-2-6:2023-06,
• solid fuel boilers according to PN-EN 303-5:
• space heaters according to PN-EN 13240:2008,
• fireplace inserts according to PN-EN 13229:2002,
• solid fuel cookers according to PN-EN 12815:2004,
• storage space heaters according to PN-EN 15250:2009,
• pellet-fired space heaters according to PN-EN 14785:2009.
