Heaters; electric, instantaneous or storage water and immersion heaters

HS v2022 Code: 851610

About heaters; electric, instantaneous or storage water and immersion heaters

HS code 851610 covers a wide range of electric water heaters, including instantaneous and storage types, as well as immersion heaters. These products play a crucial role in providing hot water for residential, commercial, and industrial applications across the global economy. As energy efficiency and sustainability become increasingly important, the demand for advanced electric water heating solutions continues to grow, making this industry a key contributor to the broader energy and utilities sector.

Production process

The production of electric water heaters typically involves a combination of metal fabrication, electrical component assembly, and advanced manufacturing techniques. Manufacturers begin by forming the outer casing, often using steel or other durable materials, which is then insulated to improve energy efficiency. The heating element, which may be an immersion-style coil or a tankless heating system, is then installed and connected to the electrical components. Quality control and testing procedures are crucial to ensure the safety and performance of the final product.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of electric water heaters include raw materials such as steel, copper, and various plastics and insulation materials. Manufacturers also rely on a range of electrical components, including heating elements, thermostats, and control systems. Specialized machinery, such as metal stamping and welding equipment, is necessary for the fabrication and assembly of the water heater components. Additionally, the industry requires a skilled workforce capable of operating the production equipment and ensuring the quality and safety of the final products.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 851610 is a diverse range of electric water heaters, including tankless, storage, and immersion models, designed for use in residential, commercial, and industrial settings. These products are often consumed by 851629 Appliances; electric, for heating spaces or soil, parts thereof and 851680 Electrical machinery and equipment, having individual functions, not specified or included elsewhere in this chapter, as they are essential components in various heating and plumbing systems.
