Scope:

This standard specifies requirements and test methods for the following devices within the field of

cogeneration technologies which produce both electricity and thermal energy:

• CHP units, which generate electricity and thermal energy in a single integrated system

• Thermoelectric Generators (TEG), which convert heat into electrical energy

• Cogeneration technologies/sources using gas turbines, micro turbines, reciprocating

engines, steam turbines or fuel cells

• CHP units using fossil fuels and/or renewable energy

• Micro CHP (Part II)

This standard applies to cogeneration technologies/sources using Gas turbines, micro turbines,

reciprocating engines, steam turbines and fuel cells, and is applicable to CHP units using Fossil fuel

and/or renewable energy

Project need:

To support innovation and creating consistent safety methodology for combined heat and power appliances and systems.
