EN ISO 14895:2016 (ISO 14895:2016) is the international/CEN standard that specifies the design, construction and installation of permanently installed liquid‑fuelled galley stoves and heating appliances for small craft up to 24 m length of hull (LH, per ISO 8666). It covers open‑flame stoves, ceramic hobs, blown‑air heaters and water‑heating appliances powered by fuels that are liquid at atmospheric pressure (e.g., kerosene, diesel). Portable camping stoves and certain other appliance types (solid‑fuel or natural‑draft stoves) are excluded.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope & applicability: Permanent appliances on small craft ≤ 24 m LH; excludes portable camping stoves and appliances covered by ISO 9094.
- Design & construction: Requirements for safe burner, oven and heater construction; consideration of marine environment (vibration, corrosion, temperature, humidity).
- Installation: Secure fastening, positioning to minimize injury/fire risk, and routing of fuel and exhaust systems.
- Fuel system safety: Prohibits petrol (as priming or fuel); requirements reference permanently installed fuel systems and hoses.
- Exhaust & combustion products: Heaters must discharge combustion products through sealed ductwork terminating outside the craft.
- Controls & accessibility: Operating controls must be readily accessible and positioned to minimize burn risk.
- Overheating & fire protection: Measures include minimum clearances, ventilation, fire‑resistant materials, heat shields and design so that overheating or exhaust components do not create a fire hazard.
- Refuelling / priming: Appliances that require priming must include an accessible drip pan (minimum depth specified in standard).
- Shut‑off valves: Readily accessible shut‑off valve(s) required for remote fuel tanks; clear indication of on/off and closing direction.
- Marking & documentation: Appliance marking and owner’s manual content (Annexes A & B) to support safe operation and compliance.
- Electrical interfaces: Where applicable, electrical connections must comply with ISO 10133 or ISO 13297.
Practical applications & users
This standard is essential for:
- Marine appliance manufacturers (galley stoves, diesel/kerosene heaters)
- Boatbuilders and naval architects specifying installed systems for small craft
- Marine installers and service technicians performing safe installations and maintenance
- Classification societies, surveyors and regulatory bodies assessing compliance with EU Directive 2013/53/EU (Annex ZA)
- Product safety and quality managers ensuring conformity and market access in CEN member states
