Frequently Asked Questions
ICS 91.140 is a classification code in the International Classification for Standards (ICS) system. It covers "Installations in buildings". The ICS is a hierarchical classification system used to organize international, regional, and national standards, facilitating the search and identification of standards across different fields.
There are 5021 standards classified under ICS 91.140 (Installations in buildings). These standards are published by international and regional standardization bodies including ISO, IEC, CEN, CENELEC, and ETSI.
The International Classification for Standards (ICS) is a hierarchical classification system maintained by ISO to organize standards and related documents. It uses a three-level structure with field (2 digits), group (3 digits), and sub-group (2 digits) codes. The ICS helps users find standards by subject area and enables statistical analysis of standards development activities.

This document specifies general construction, performance and material requirements for PN 10 thermostatic mixing valves (TMV) and includes test methods for the verification of mixed water temperature performance at the point of use below 45 °C. This does not exclude the selection of higher temperatures where available. When these devices are used to provide anti-scald protection for children, elderly and disabled persons the mixed water temperature shall be set at a suitable temperature (body temperature - 38 °C). In particular children are at risk to scalding at lower temperatures than adults. This does not obviate the need for supervision of young children.

Such electrical installations are designated as prosumer's electrical installations (PEIs). These requirements and recommendations apply to new installations and modifications of existing installations. This document also provides requirements and recommendations for the safe, efficient and correct behaviour of these installations when integrated into a smart grid. Information related to grid interaction to ensure the stability of the electrical system for grid connected PEIs is given in Annex B. This document covers the requirements related to stability of islanded and stand-alone PEIs. This first edition cancels and replaces IEC 60364-8-2 published in 2018. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to IEC 60364-8-2:2018:
a) the vocabulary and concepts have been aligned as much as possible with those used by TC 8 and SC 8B, taking notably into account the IEC 62898 and IEC 62786 series, still respecting the installers mindset (installers being the first users of the IEC 60364 series and being used to only refer to the IEC 60364 series);
b) the type of system earthing and the change of type of system earthing (sequencing) when there is a change of mode of the prosuming installation, have been clarified;
c) the conditions of connection and disconnection from the DSO network have also been described, both from the safety point of view and the proper functioning point of view;
d) additional requirements have been introduced;
e) the figures have been updated;
f) a new normative Annex D on single dwelling or similar application islandable PEIs has been added;
g) the numbering has also been reviewed to follow the updated numbering system of the IEC 60364 series, in line with the IEC Directives and compatible with Parts 7.

This document 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 document 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 document 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 version mentions technical topics to consider when hydrogen and natural gas / hydrogen blends flow through the measuring systems. Blends with a hydrogen content between 20mol% and 98 mol% are not considered by this standard. This document applies to hydrogen with a purity as specified in CEN/TS 17977 for rededicated natural gas systems.
This document can also be used as a guideline for measuring systems for other gases e.g. gaseous CO2 for CCUS.
This document does not apply to for raw or sour gases.
This document does not apply to for gas measurement in CNG filling stations.
This document gives guidelines when designing, installing and operating gas meters with additional functionalities (smart gas meters).
Communication protocols and interfaces for gas meters and remote reading of gas meters are outside the scope of this document and are covered by the appropriate parts of the EN 13757 series. which provide a number of protocols for meter communications. Supervisory control and data acquisition protocols (SCADA) are also not covered by this document.
Unless otherwise specified all pressures used in this document 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 document, the EN 15001 series, EN 12186, EN 12279 and/or EN 1775 apply additionally, where relevant.

This document specifies general construction, performance and material requirements for PN 10 thermostatic mixing valves (TMV) and includes test methods for the verification of mixed water temperature performance at the point of use below 45 °C. This does not exclude the selection of higher temperatures where available. When these devices are used to provide anti-scald protection for children, elderly and disabled persons, the mixed water temperature needs to be set at a suitable temperature (body temperature approximately 38 °C). In particular children are at risk to scalding at lower temperatures than adults. This does not obviate the need for supervision of young children.
It applies to valves intended for use on sanitary appliances in kitchens, washrooms (incl. all rooms with sanitary tapware, e.g. toilets and cloakrooms) and bath rooms operating under the conditions specified in Table 1.
This document allows TMVs to supply a single outlet or a small number of outlets in a “domestic” application (e.g. one valve controlling a shower, bath, basin and/or bidet), excluding valves specifically designed for supplying a large number of outlets (i.e. for institutional use).
The tests described are type tests (laboratory tests) and not quality control tests carried out during manufacture.
