Article 3 U.K.

1. The following shall be excluded from this Directive:

• equipment for the instantaneous preparation of hot water,

• boilers designed to be fired by fuels the properties of which differ appreciably from the properties of the liquid and gaseous fuels commonly marketed (industrial waste gas, biogas, etc),

• cookers and appliances designed mainly to heat the premises in which they are installed and, as a subsidiary function, to supply hot water for central heating and sanitary hot water,

• appliances with rated outputs of less than 6 kW using gravity circulation and designed solely for the production of stored sanitary hot water,

• boilers manufactured on a one-off basis[F1 ,]

• [F2 cogeneration units as defined in Directive 2004/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 February 2004 on the promotion of cogeneration based on useful heat demand in the internal energy market (1) .]

2. In the case of boilers with a dual function, that of heating premises and also providing sanitary hot water, the efficiency requirements referred to in Article 5 (1) concern the heating function only.
