Overview
This standard applies to electrical underfloor heating of dwellings and all other buildings whose use corresponds to dwellings or is at least similar, having a maximum load bearing in use of 4 kN/m2. This standard defines the main characteristics of electrical underfloor heating and establishes the method of testing of these characteristics as information for the user. This standard does not deal with installation and safety requirements. This standard differs from DIN V 44576:2008-04 as follows: a) the status of DIN V 44576:2008-04 has been changed to that of a European Standard; b) normative references to European Standards have been changed. The responsible committee is Subcommittee DKE/UK 513.4 "Heiz- und Wärmegeräte" ("Heating appliances") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
