Description
This Standard specifies general constructional and performance requirements for storage water heaters of 6.5 L to 630 L capacity other than those covered by NZS 4602.
Also specifies the allowable heat loss, the provision of user-adjustable means of temperature control, and routine and type test schedules. Gas-fired water heaters are specified by reference to the AGA/ALPGA Codes.
The Standard is based on Australian Standard AS 1056: Part 1. Cited in the Ministry's Simple House Acceptable Solution.
Scope
This Standard
- (a) specifies requirements for electrically heated thermal storage water heaters having capacities within the range 6.5 L to 630 L but excluding low pressure water heaters with copper cylinders within the scope of NZS 4602,
- (b) covers gas-fired water heaters by cross-reference to Codes AG 102 and AG 109 published by the Australian Gas Association and the Australian Liquefied Petroleum Gas Association; and
- (c) does not apply to heat-exchange water heaters or to fixed water boilers.
