Overview
EN 15287-1:2007/FprA1 is a key European Standard developed by CEN for the design, installation, and commissioning of chimneys specifically engineered for non-roomsealed heating appliances. This standard covers requirements for system chimneys, the construction of custom-built chimneys, and the relining of existing chimneys. It also outlines essential guidance for the correct installation and connection of flue pipes to ensure safe and efficient operation.
The standard does not apply to:
- Freestanding chimneys as covered by EN 13084-1
- High positive pressure chimneys (H-designation)
- Chimneys intended for room-sealed heating appliances
For industry professionals, compliance with EN 15287-1 helps assure that chimneys and flue connection systems are safe, effective, and meet regulatory requirements across Europe.
Key Topics
EN 15287-1:2007/FprA1 covers several crucial aspects of chimney systems for non-roomsealed appliances:
- Specification and Design: Sets the method for specifying the right type of chimney based on the appliance, fuel type, and building requirements.
- Installation Criteria: Outlines step-by-step installation requirements, including considerations for materials, joins, and terminations to uphold safety and performance standards.
- Custom-built Chimneys: Provides criteria for the construction of site-built chimneys, including dimensions, insulation, and permissible materials.
- Relining of Existing Chimneys: Details the process and requirements for relining older chimneys, which can extend the lifespan of existing flue ways.
- Commissioning and Testing: Describes the commissioning process to verify proper installation and safe operation before the system is brought into use.
- Connecting Flue Pipes: Specifies requirements for suitable connection between the appliance and chimney, ensuring correct draft and minimizing leakage or condensation issues.
Applications
This standard is highly relevant for a range of professionals and organizations:
- Heating Engineers & Installers: Provides clear guidelines to ensure safe and compliant installation of chimneys serving gas, oil, or solid fuel appliances.
- Chimney Manufacturers: Assists in product specification, ensuring chimneys meet the latest European construction and safety requirements.
- Architects & Designers: Offers important considerations for integrating safe and effective chimney solutions into both new builds and renovations.
- Building Inspectors & Regulatory Bodies: Supplies a verified framework for inspection, approval, and ongoing compliance checks.
Common applications for EN 15287-1 include residential and commercial buildings where non-roomsealed heating appliances are used, as well as heritage or older properties undergoing chimney renovations or upgrades.
Related Standards
EN 15287-1 should be considered alongside the following related standards for comprehensive chimney design and installation practice:
- EN 13084-1: Freestanding chimneys - important for projects outside the scope of EN 15287-1
- EN 1443: General requirements for chimneys
- EN 1856-1/2: Specific requirements for metal chimneys and system chimneys
- EN 13384-1/2: Methods for calculation of thermal and flow characteristics of chimneys
- EN 14471: Chimneys for roomsealed appliances (complementary for other appliance types)
Ensuring compatibility with these standards supports the highest levels of safety, durability, and performance for chimney and flue systems across Europe.
