Safety and control devices for gas burners and gas burning appliances - Part 2: Pressure regulators for inlet pressures above 50 kPa up to and including 500 kPa; German version EN 88-2:2022
Sicherheits- und Regeleinrichtungen für Gasbrenner und Gasgeräte - Teil 2: Druckregler für Eingangsdrücke über 50 kPa bis einschließlich 500 kPa; Deutsche Fassung EN 88-2:2022
Overview
This European Standard specifies the safety, design, construction, and performance requirements and testing for pneumatic pressure regulators and safety devices for burners and appliances burning one or more gaseous fuels, hereafter referred to as “pressure regulators”. This document is applicable to pressure regulators with declared maximum inlet pressures above 50 kPa up to and including 500 kPa and of nominal connection sizes up to and including DN 250. This document is applicable to: - pressure regulators incorporating safety devices; - pressure regulators and safety devices which use auxiliary energy; - stand-alone pressure regulators or pressure regulators equipped with a control device for maximum or minimum gas pressure. This document is not applicable to: - pressure regulators connected directly to a gas distribution network or to a container that maintains a standard distribution pressure; - pressure regulators intended for gas appliances to be installed in the open air and exposed to the environment. This document (EN 88-2:2022) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 58 "Safety and control devices for burners and appliances burning gaseous or liquid fuels", the secretariat of which is held by BSI (United Kingdom). The national German standardization committee is Joint Working Committee NA 041-03-10 GA "Gemeinschaftsarbeitsausschuss NHRS/NAA/NAGas: Sicherheits- und Regeleinrichtungen für wärmeerzeugende Geräte und Anlagen sowie für die Gasversorgung (SpA CEN/TC 58, WG 11, WG 13, WG 15 und ISO/TC 161, WG 3, WG 4, WG 5)" ("Joint working committee NHRS/NAA/NAGas: Safety and control devices for heating appliances and heat generating systems and for the gas distribution (SpA CEN/TC 58, WG 11, WG 13, WG 15 and ISO/TC 161, WG 3, WG 4, WG 5)") at DIN Standards Committee Heating and Ventilation Technology and their Safety (NHRS).
