This document (EN 13216-1:2019) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 166

“Chimneys”, the secretariat of which is held by ASI.

This document shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text

or by endorsement, at the latest by month year of October 2019, and conflicting national standards shall

be withdrawn at the latest by January 2021.

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of

patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

This document will supersede EN 13216:2004.

System chimneys type tested prior to this revision need not be retested, if historical data covers the

intended configuration for the relevant test.
In comparison to the previous edition the following changes were made:
a) clarification of the scope;
b) revision of terms and definitions;

c) revision of the thermal test assembly and test structure to include options for alternative building

insulation levels;
d) revision of the test procedure;
e) incorporation of terminals;

Introduction

CEN/TC 166 intends to publish the test methods for system chimneys as separate parts of a series of

standards.

The first part of the series of EN 13216 includes material-independent test methods for system

chimneys.

Further parts of the multi-part standard include material-specific test methods, each material used for

the inner wall being decisive. The material-specific test methods are based on the general material-

independent test methods. Considering the various characteristics, the material tests can be carried out

on deviating specimens or can include other test procedures that however have correlation to those

given in this document.

It is intended to prepare further parts if further material-specific standards are published.
