Electric radiators, also known as room heaters, offer an energy-efficient method for heating homes. They utilize a thermodynamic fluid, such as oil, which transforms into heat energy through electricity. Each electric radiator is furnished with a thermostat to control the energy needed for maintaining the desired room temperature.

It falls under the following two categories:

1. Group I - Up to and including 1000 W

2. Group II - Above 1000 W

This standard outlines safety guidelines for electric radiators (room heaters) intended for household and similar uses. These appliances should have rated voltages of up to 250 V for single-phase devices and 415 V for other appliances.

Examples of appliances covered by this standard include:

1. Convector heaters

2. Fan heaters

3. Heaters for use in greenhouses

4. Liquid filled radiators

5. Panel heaters

6. Radiant heaters
