2. INTRODUCTION
SGS Nederland BV, Environmental Services carried out an initial type test of room heater Tigchel
Finoven 32. The appliance is made by VOF Tigchelaar Tegelkachels.
This report contains the test results of a room heater fired by solid fuels in accordance with EN
15250:2007. Interpretations, opinions and assessments of conformity to clauses of this standard
(chapter 4) are done as Notified Body. Unless described otherwise the reported tests (chapter 5) are
covered by RvA-accreditation.
A short description of the appliance is included in chapter 3. Chapter 4 describes the results of the
assessments. The results of the measurements are presented in chapter 5.
This report is issued under the following condition:
1. It applies only to the tested model submitted to the test specified in this report.
2. It does not imply that the notified body has performed any surveillance or control of its manufacture.
3. The manufacturer shall ensure that the manufacturing process assures compliance of the products
with the approved model subject to this certificate.
4. The applicant shall inform the notified body of all modifications made to the approved model which
must receive, when necessary, additional approval leading to an addition to the original EC type-
examination certificate.
5. As technical advances or new work could affect the conclusion of this EC type-examination, the
applicant shall regularly keep himself informed of any modification made to tests carried out on the
approved model by the notified body.
6. According to article 3h of the “Assignment of SGS Nederland as Notified Body” you can lodge an
appeal against our decision. This appeal shall be made by registered mail within 30 days after the
date of the SGS decision. SGS undertakes to investigate the appeal independently and with the

3. PROJECT DETAILS
In this chapter, the information of the appliance, the manufacturer and the laboratory are given.
3.1 SPECIFICATION OF THE APPLIANCE
Room heater Tigchel Finoven 32 is a freestanding slow heat release appliance made of ceramic
elements. The room heater is equipped with a front window door. The combustion chamber is made of
ceramic elements. The amount of combustion air can be regulated by moving:
- the ash pan cover (primary air);
- the secondary air controller at the right side of the appliance;
- the air controllers in the door (top and bottom).

5. MEASUREMENTS
In this chapter the measurement methods, the deviation from the standard and the test results are
given.
5.1 MEASUREMENT METHODS
The appliance was tested to the applicable methods of the standard.
In order to ensure that our services maintain the quality level required by our clients, SGS Nederland
BV hold the NEN-EN-ISO/IEC 17025 (Testlab) accreditation under number L092. The test laboratory of
SGS is notified under EC number 0608. The following test methods are covered.
Table 7 Used methods with accreditation
Description Method
Burning rate performance test EN 15250:2007/ A.4.6
Temperature safety test for wood burning and multi fuel appliances EN 15250:2007/ A.4.7
The analysis of the fuel is subcontracted by an ISO 17025 accredited laboratory within the SGS-group.
5.2 DEVIATION OF THE STANDARD
The nominal heat output tests and the safety test are done in compliance with EN 15250:2007. The
following deviations from the demands as set in the standard are made:
- The analysis of the test fuel was done according to widely accepted EN-Standards. In general the
used Standards improve the accuracy and reduce the variability of the analysis. This deviation from the
standard has no influence on the results of the type test.
