この概要は現在英語のみで提供しています。

適用範囲

This standard applies to the installation of electric water heaters specified in GB 4706.11 and GB 4706.12, covering both storage water heaters and instantaneous water heaters. It is mandatory for all manufacturers and professional installers operating within the Chinese market. It specifically governs the installation procedures, attachment requirements, and safety protocols for household and similar uses.

技術要求

The standard mandates strict requirements for water heaters and installation attachments. Attachments such as expansion bolts, mounting brackets, mixing valves, and safety valves must comply with relevant national standards. Fasteners and mounting frames must possess sufficient mechanical strength and undergo anti-rust treatment to ensure long-term stability. Regarding installation location and surfaces, the unit must be positioned away from flammable gases, strong electromagnetic fields, and direct weather impacts. The mounting surface must be structurally sound, with a load-bearing capacity of no less than 4 times the mass of the water heater when fully filled with water. If the surface strength is insufficient, reinforcement measures are strictly required. For electrical safety, Class I water heaters must utilize an independent fixed socket with reliable grounding. The power supply should be a single-phase 220V or three-phase 380V AC source, with dedicated branch circuits rated at 1.5 times the heater's maximum current. Instantaneous water heaters must be connected via an air switch with leakage protection. The installation operation procedure requires professional installers to conduct thorough pre-installation checks of the user's power supply, water pressure, and wall capacity. Post-installation, the system must be checked for leaks, secure mechanical connections, and proper electrical grounding before trial operation.

試験方法

The standard outlines key evaluation procedures, including mechanical strength tests for mounting brackets to ensure they do not slip, loosen, or bend under maximum load. It also specifies electrical safety inspections, which involve checking the live and neutral wire positions of sockets, verifying grounding reliability using resistance meters, and conducting leakage current checks during trial operation to ensure no electrical hazards exist on the heater's casing.
