Bereal - Advanced testing methods for better real life performance of biomass heating appliances
Existing test standards for
biomass room heating appliances (pellet and firewood stoves, and inset
appliances) have supported technology development tremendously in past decades.
Due to today’s changing and more demanding requirements, however, there is the
obvious need for refined testing procedures in order to differentiate between
poor and excellent products. Such differentiation should take into account
operating conditions as they are found in real life installations. Offering
such information to customers will create substantial competitive advantages to
innovative SMEs providing high quality products and may provide a reliable
guideline for future standards or regulations.
The key objectives of BeReal are:
These are accompanied by dissemination activities addressing standardization bodies, SME-members of participating SME-AGs and notified bodies, including training activities for the latter two groups. The introduction of the quality label addresses end users and general public. |
