5.3 Vehicle Installation Requirements for Combustion Heaters
5.3.1 Scope
5.3.1.1 Subject to paragraph 5.3.1.2., combustion heaters shall be in-
stalled according to the requirements of paragraph 5.3.
Statutory regulations governing installation
5.3.1.2 Vehicles of category O having liquid fuel heaters are deemed to
comply with the requirements of paragraph 5.3.
5.3.2 Positioning of combustion heater
5.3.2.1 Body sections and any other components in the vicinity of the
heater must be protected from excessive heat and the possibility of fuel
or oil contamination.
5.3.2.2 The combustion heater shall not constitute a risk of fire, even in
the case of overheating. This requirement shall be deemed to be met if
the installation ensures an adequate distance to all parts and suitable
ventilation, by the use of fire resistant materials or by the use of heat
shields.
5.3.2.3 In the case of M2 and M3 vehicles, the combustion heater must
not be positioned in the passenger compartment. However, an installa-
tion in an effectively sealed envelope which also complies with the
conditions in paragraph 5.3.2.2. may be used.
5.3.2.4 The label referred to in Annex 7, paragraph 1.4., or a duplicate,
must be positioned so that it can be easily read when the heater is in-
stalled in the vehicle.
5.3.2.5 Every reasonable precaution should be taken in positioning the
heater to minimize the risk of injury and damage to personal property.
5.3.3 Fuel supply
5.3.3.1 The fuel filler must not be situated in the passenger compart-
ment and must be provided with an effective cap to prevent fuel spillage.
5.3.3.2 In the case of liquid fuel heaters, where a supply separate from
that of the vehicle is provided, the type of fuel and its filler point must be
clearly labelled.
5.3.3.3 A notice, indicating that the heater must be shut down before
refuelling, must be affixed to the fuelling point. In addition a suitable
instruction must be included in the manufacturer's operating manual.
