Statutory regulations governing installation

1.1. Statutory regulations governing installation
Type approvals according to ECE-R 10 (EMC) and ECE-R 122 (Heater) exist
for the DBW 2010 / DBW 2016 heaters.
See Chapter 13, "Technical data" for the approval number.
Installation is governed above all by the provisions in Part I and Annex 7 of
Directive ECE-R 122.
NOTE:
The provisions of these Directives are binding within the territory
governed by EU Directive 70/156/EEC and/or EC/2007/46 (binding for
new vehicle types as of 29/04/2009) and should also be observed in
countries in which there are no special regulations!
IMPORTANT:
Failure to follow the installation instructions and the notes contained therein
will lead to all liability being refused by Webasto. The same applies if repairs
are carried out incorrectly or with the use of parts other than genuine spare
parts. This will result in the invalidation of the type approval for the heater
and therefore of its homologation / ECE type licence.

Part I
5.3 Vehicle Installation Requirements for Combustion Heaters and
for Electric Heaters
5.3.1 Scope
5.3.1.1 Subject to paragraph 5.3.1.2, heaters shall be installed according to
the requirements of paragraph 5.3.
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 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 heater shall not constitute a risk of fire, even in the case of over-
heating. This requirement shall be deemed to be met if the installation en-
sures 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 installation 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 4, or a duplicate, must
be positioned so that it can be easily read when the combustion heater is
installed in the vehicle.
