Designed lifetime
The Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) and the
Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD)
demand regular checks on and maintenance of
heating systems in order to ensure a high level of
use in the long term, a clean method of operation
and safe function.
The service life on which the construction is based,
hereinafter referred to simply as the “designed
lifetime”, is compiled from the relevant standards.
You can find further explanations in the applicable
rules and regulations and on the afecor website
(www.afecor.org).
This information on the designed lifetime is based on
using the product in accordance with these operat-
ing instructions. The product must be serviced at
regular intervals. Once the specified designed lifetime
has been reached, the safety-related functions must
be checked in accordance with the section entitled
“Maintenance”.
If the product passes the aforementioned function
tests, you can continue to use it until the next sched-
uled maintenance operation. At this point, these tests
must be repeated.
If the product fails one of the aforementioned tests,
it must be replaced immediately.
This procedure applies to heating systems. For
thermoprocessing equipment, observe national regu-
lations. Designed lifetime (based on date of manufac-
ture) in accordance with EN 13611, EN 161 for VG:

Long-term use in the upper ambient temperature
range accelerates the ageing of the elastomer ma-
terials and reduces the service life (please contact
manufacturer).
