🇬🇧 English

This Turkish regulation, aligned with EU Commission Regulation (EU) 2024/1103, establishes mandatory ecodesign requirements for domestic space heaters with nominal heat output of 50 kW or less and commercial space heaters (bright or tube-type) with nominal heat output of 300 kW or less per unit or per tube section. It also covers separate related controls placed on the market independently. The regulation sets specific energy efficiency, emission, and functional requirements that these products must meet to be placed on the Turkish market or put into service. It excludes steam-compression or sorption cycle heaters, outdoor-only units, certain low direct-heat-output products, air heating products, sauna stoves, and cooking appliances. Manufacturers, importers, and authorized representatives must perform conformity assessment using internal design control or management system procedures, maintain technical documentation including declared values and calculations, and comply with verification tolerances during market surveillance. The previous regulation (2015/1188/AB) is repealed. The new rules take effect one year after publication.
