Defines requirements for industrial electric heaters having a rated voltage to 440 V, which use metal-sheathed elements and are installed in a duct run, for heating in forced air systems or heating of non-flammable gases, when the heaters have fixed, replaceable or removable elements.

This British Standard specifies requirements for industrial electric heaters with a rated voltage of up to 440 V, using metal-sheathed elements and installed in a duct run, for heating in forced air systems or for heating of non-flammable gases.

The heaters may have fixed, replaceable or removable elements.
