In this standard, all pressures are gauge pressures unless otherwise stated.
This standard has been harmonized to address the essential safety requirements of the Pressure Equipment Directive (PED, 2014/68/EU [formerly 97/23/EC]) relevant for the joining of gas installation pipework (assemblies) falling within the scope of the PED. These are listed in Annex ZA. However, "this Directive does not cover the assembly of pressure equipment on the site and under the responsibility of the user, as in the case of industrial installations" (PED, Preamble, 7th recital, last paragraph).
Although in this respect, the standard takes into account the essential safety requirements of the PED, no inference can be drawn from this as to whether or not the installation or parts of the installation falls within the scope of the PED. Reference should therefore be made to the PED and relevant national legislation.

This document specifies requirements and tests for the construction, performance, safety and production of battery powered class 1,5 Capillary Thermal-Mass Flow sensor gas meters (hereinafter referred to as meter(s)). This applies to meters having co-axial single pipe, or two pipe connections, which are used to measure volumes of fuel gases of the 2nd and/or 3rd family, as given in EN 437:2018.
In general, the term “thermal mass flow meters” applies to a flow-measuring device using heat transfer to measure and indicate gas flowrate, as defined in ISO 14511.
NOTE 1   Although the word “mass” is present in the definition of the measurement principle, gas meters covered by this document provide measurement of gas at base conditions of temperature and pressure.
These meters have a maximum working pressure not exceeding 0,5 bar and a maximum flowrate not exceeding 160 m3/h over a minimum ambient temperature range of −10 °C to +40 °C and a gas temperature range as specified by the manufacturer with a minimum range of 40 °C.
This document applies to meters indicating volume at base conditions, which are installed in locations with vibration and shocks of low significance. It applies to meters in:
-   closed locations (indoor or outdoor with protection, as specified by the manufacturer) with condensing humidity or with non-condensing humidity;
or, if specified by the manufacturer:
-   open locations (outdoor without any covering) both with condensing humidity or with non-condensing humidity;
and in locations with electromagnetic disturbances likely to be found in residential, commercial and light industrial use.
For meters which indicate unconverted volume, reference can be made to Annex C.
Unless otherwise stated, all pressures given in this document are gauge pressures.
Requirements for electronic indexes, valves and additional requirements for batteries incorporated in the meter and any other additional functionalities are given in EN 16314:2013.
Unless otherwise stated in a particular test, the tests are carried out on meters that include additional functionality devices intended by the manufacturer.
Clauses 1 to 13 are for design and type testing only.

This document gives details for the classification of gas appliances according to the method of supplying combustion air and of evacuating the combustion products (types). This classification refers to gas appliances that are intended to be installed within buildings and/or outside of the building .
The document classifies appliances as type A, B or C according to the basic principle for the evacuation of the combustion products and air inlet.
This document is the reference for the harmonization of product standards, for the preparation of installation standards and for the common understanding of the types of gas appliances.
This document is neither an installation standard nor a product standard.
In references to a gas appliance or gas appliances connected via "its" or "their" duct or ducts, it is intended that the air inlet duct and/or the discharge duct for carrying any combustion products are part of the gas appliance. This means that such ducts are certified together with the gas appliance. Informative Annex C identifies appliance types that are designed for connection to separate chimney products, which may be part of the construction of the building.
In terms of this document, a "single duct" is a flue duct designed and capable of discharging the combustion products and/or air inlet duct for the air supply for only one appliance.
In terms of this document, a "common duct" is a flue duct designed and capable of discharging the combustion products and/or air inlet duct for the air supply for more than one appliance.

This standard specifies requirements and associated test methods for rubber materials used in gas installations, gas equipment and gas appliances in contact with 1st, 2nd and 3rd family combustible gases as classified in EN 437 e.g. natural gas, LPG, bio methane bio LPG. It also establishes a classification based on temperature range and hardness. This standard is applicable to materials from which are manufactured homogeneous seals and homogeneous or reinforced diaphragms.
Since the dimensions and shape of the components differ from those of standard test pieces taken from sheet material as used for type testing of the rubber materials according to this standard, tolerances have been made in the requirements specified by Annex A for the components with respect to those specified for standard test pieces.
The range of operating temperatures covered by this standard is - 40 °C to + 150 °C.
This standard is not applicable for silicone rubber used either above 200 hPa (200 mbar) nominal pressure or at temperatures below 0 °C with 3rd family gases, as there is the possibility of condensation.

This European Standard specifies functional requirements for the design, construction, testing, commissioning/decommissioning, operation, maintenance and where appropriate calibration, together with suitable documented provisions for all new gas measuring systems and any major changes of existing systems.
This European Standard also specifies accuracy classes of measuring systems and thresholds applicable to these classes. Demonstration of compliance is achieved through the selection, installation and operation of appropriate measurement instruments, together with suitable documented provisions for calculations. Examples of demonstration of compliance are provided for each accuracy class; however, they are not prescriptive solutions.
This European Standard is applicable for gases of the 2nd family as classified in EN 437. It is also applicable for treated non-conventional combustible gases complying with EN 437 and for which a detailed technical evaluation of the functional requirements (such as injected biomethane) is performed ensuring there are no other constituents or properties of the gases that can affect the metrological and physical integrity of the measuring systems.
This European Standard can also be used as a guideline for 1st and 3rd family gases as classified in EN 437; however additional considerations should be taken with regard to the different constituents and physical characteristics of the gas family.
This European Standard is not applicable for raw or sour gases.
This European Standard is not applicable for gas measurement in CNG filling station.
This European Standard gives guidelines when designing, installing and operating gas meters with additional functionalities (smart meters).
Unless otherwise specified all pressures used in this European Standard are gauge pressures.
For associated pressure regulating systems the requirements of EN 12186 and/or EN 12279 apply.
For requirements on design, housing, lay-out, materials for components, construction, ventilation, venting and overall safety of gas measuring systems within the scope of this European Standard, EN 15001, EN 12186, EN 12279 and/or EN 1775 apply additionally, where relevant.
This European Standard specifies common basic principles for gas infrastructure. Users of this European Standard should be aware that more detailed national standards and/or codes of practice may exist in the CEN member countries.
This European Standard is intended to be applied in association with these national standards and/or codes of practice setting out the above mentioned basic principles.
In the event of conflicts in terms of more restrictive requirements in national legislation/regulation with the requirements of this European Standard, national legislation/regulation takes precedence as illustrated in CEN/TR 13737 parts 1 and 2.
CEN/TR 13737 (all parts) gives:
   clarification of all legislation/regulations applicable in a member state;

This Technical Report contains, for each country affected, a national page where the relevant national legislation/regulations for the field of gas infrastructure are listed. The national page can further contain the relevant national standards and/or codes of practice and national bodies which can act as further sources of information, if an interested party needs further guidance.
The national page can, if necessary, indicate any requirements in the national legislation/regulations that are more stringent than those in the European Standards prepared by CEN/TC 234. This is done however without giving any details.
This does not apply to requirements contained in clauses that are harmonized to any new approach directive.
This Technical Report is intended to be a guideline for the national implementation of the functional European Standards elaborated by CEN/TC 234 "Gas infrastructure".
