Overview

This document specifies the safety, design, construction and performance requirements, and testing for automatic burner control systems, programming units, flame detector devices and High Temperature Operation (HTO) detectors, intended for use with gas and oil burners and gas and oil burning appliances, with or without fans and similar use. This document is applicable to automatic burner control systems that include additional functions. This document is not applicable to automatic burner control systems utilizing thermo-electric flame supervision devices. Standards for burners, appliances or processes which use automatic burner control systems, programming units, flame detectors or HTO detectors can override the requirements of this document. This document (EN 298:2022) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 58 "Safety and control devices for burners and appliances burning gaseous and/or liquid fuels", the secretariat of which is held by BSI (United Kingdom). The responsible German standardization committee is Joint Working Committee NA 041-03-31 GA "Gemeinschaftsarbeitausschuss NHRS/DKE: Elektrische Sicherheits- und Regeleinrichtungen für wärmeerzeugende Geräte und Anlagen (SpA CEN/TC 58/WG 12, CEN/TC 58/WG 14)" ("Joint working group NHRS/DKE: Electrical safety and control devices for heating appliances and heat generating systems (Mirror Committee of CEN/TC 58/WG 12, CEN/TC 58/WG 14)") at DIN Standards Committee Heating and Ventilation Technology and their Safety (NHRS).
