Does an electric fixed visibly glowing radiant local space heater have to comply with the requirements of an electric radiant local or an electric fixed one ?

Subsequently, they are also subject to specific F(3) factors that are not mutually accumulative with F(3) factors for electric fixed local space heaters.
