Fireplaces for Liquid Fuels

Fireplaces for liquid and gelatinous fuels (ethanol or gels) have become increasingly popular over the past few years. More and more people like to have the atmosphere provided by a fireplace in their own home, but do not always have a classic fireplace installed. The little space required the economic purchase price and no need for a chimney means that ethanol fireplaces represent a real alternative.

But how safe are they? Do the flames stay in the fireplace? How does the fuel used behave with the additional chemical load of ethanol? How hot do the surfaces become? How stable is the fireplace? How comprehensive are the operating instructions? These safety-relevant criteria are tested in an inspection according to DIN 4734-1. The regular production control as part of "DIN-Geprüft" certification guarantees consistent manufacturing quality.

Trust is good - DIN-Geprüft is better

With the recognized and neutral certification mark "DIN-Geprüft", DIN CERTCO offers the manufacturer and distributor of ethanol or gel fireplaces the possibility of convincing customers of the quality of their products and helping them with the purchase decision – for our mark is a sign of trust!

With DIN certification the manufacturer documents that their ethanol or gel fireplaces have been tested and certified to all the safety-relevant criteria mentioned in the standard by neutral, independent and expert bodies.

Testing foundations

The certification mark "DIN-Geprüft" (= Tested) is granted on the basis of the certification scheme for Fireplaces for liqued solid fuels which governs product testing and certification.

The certification scheme is based on this German standard:

• DIN EN 4734-1 "Fireplaces for liquid fuels - Decorative appliances producing a flame using ethanol based or gelatinous fuel"

It specify the requirements and testing procedures for fireplaces for liqued fuels. The following criteria are subject to the testing:

• The design
• The materials
• Stability
• Safety against the fuel running out
• The fuel storage container (fuel content)
• The ignition mechanism
• The operation
  • Fuel flow rate
  • Fuel safety
  • Combustion quality
  • Fire safety
• Setup instructions
• The operating manual
• Labeling

Testing and assessment

Only those fireplaces for liquid fuels are certified with  "DIN-Geprüft", that were successfully tested by a testing laboratory approved by DIN CERTCO, neutrally assessed and thus proofed their compliance with the relevant standards.

After a positive assessment result DIN CERTCO issues a certificate which is valid for six years. The registration number for a clear identification of the certified product has the following structure: 7Y000.
