Introduction
This document is intended to be used in conjunction with EN 13611:2019.
EN 13611:2019 recognizes the safety level specified by CEN/TC 58 and is regarded as a horizontal
standard dealing with the safety, construction, performance and testing of controls for burners and
appliances burning gaseous and/or liquid fuels.
The general requirements for controls are given in EN 13611:2019, and methods for classification and
assessment for new controls and control functions are given in EN 14459:2021 (see Figure 1).
EN 126:2012 (see Figure 1) specifies multifunctional controls combining two or more controls and
Application Control Functions, one of which is a mechanical control function. The requirements for
controls and Application Control Functions are given in the specific control standard (see Figure 1,
control functions).
Figure 1 — Interrelation of control standards
EN 13611:2019 should be used in conjunction with the specific standard for a specific type of control (e.g.
EN 88-1:2022, EN 88-2:2022, EN 88-3:2022, EN 125:2022, EN 126:2012, EN 161:2022, EN 257:2022,
EN 298:2022, EN 1106:2022, EN 1643:2022, EN 1854:—1, EN 12067-2:2022, EN 16304:2022,
EN 16340:2014, EN 16678:2022 and EN 16898:2022), or for controls for specific applications.
EN 13611:2019 can also be applied, so far as reasonable, to controls not mentioned in a specific standard
and to controls designed on new principles, in which case additional requirements can be necessary.
EN 14459:2021 provides methods for classification and assessment of new control principles.
Primarily in industrial applications it is common practice to rate the safety of a plant based on values
describing the likelihood of a dangerous failure. These values are being used to determine Safety Integrity
Levels or Performance Levels when the system is being assessed in its entirety.
CEN/TC 58 standards for safety relevant controls do go beyond this approach, because for a certain life
time for which the product is specified, designed and tested a dangerous failure is not allowed at all.
Failure modes are described and assessed in greater detail.
Measures to prevent from dangerous situations are defined. Field experience over many decades is
reflected in the CEN/TC 58 standards. Requirements of EN 13611:2019 can be considered as proven in
practice.
This document refers to clauses of EN 13611:2019 or adapts clauses by stating “with the following

This clarity enhances understanding and compliance for manufacturers, improving the overall safety and reliability of gas filter systems in practical use. By setting forth testing requirements, the standard reinforces the accountability of manufacturers to produce filters that meet established performance benchmarks. Additionally, the exclusion of gas filters that connect directly to mains pipe-work or a container with a standard distribution pressure underscores the focus of this standard on filters that operate independently within gas-burning appliances. This targeted application is advantageous for industry stakeholders, as it streamlines regulatory interpretations and facilitates better quality control within the designated scope. Overall, the document reflects current industry needs while enhancing safety protocols. EN 16898:2022+A1:2023 serves as a crucial resource for manufacturers and regulators alike, ensuring that gas filters meet stringent performance and safety standards, ultimately contributing to the enhancement of gas-burning technologies.

SIST EN 16898:2022+A1:2024 표준은 가스 버너 및 가스 연소 장치용 안전 및 제어 장치에 관한 문서로, 최대 작동 압력이 600 kPa까지인 가스 필터에 대한 안전, 설계, 구조 및 성능 요구 사항 및 시험 방법을 명확하게 규정하고 있습니다. 이 표준은 가스 연료를 사용하는 버너와 장치에 적합한 가스 필터에 대한 규격을 설정하며, 이는 공공 안전과 연료 효율성을 보장하는 데 중요한 역할을 합니다. 이 표준의 강점 중 하나는 범위의 명확함이며, 600 kPa까지의 최대 유입 압력을 가진 가스 필터와 DN 250까지의 공칭 연결 크기에 적용됩니다. 이러한 특정 조건은 제조자와 사용자 모두에게 필요한 정보를 제공하여, 안전한 설계를 가능하게 합니다. 또한, 이 문서는 EN 13611:2019를 수정하여 기존의 내용을 더욱 실용적으로 조정하며, 가스 필터가 직접적으로 주 배관이나 표준 분포 압력을 유지하는 용기에 연결되지 않을 경우 적용되지 않음을 추가하여, 적용 범위를 명확히 하고 있습니다. SIST EN 16898:2022+A1:2024 표준은 가스 관련 산업에서의 안전성을 높이고, 제품 کی 성능을 평가하는 데 중요한 역할을 하고 있어 현재 유관 산업에서 큰 의미를 가집니다. 이러한 이유로, 이 표준은 가스 장치와 관련된 기술적 요구 사항을 충족시키는 데 필수적인 자료로 자리잡고 있습니다.

La norme EN 16898:2022+A1:2023 offre une approche mise à jour et rigoureuse concernant les dispositifs de sécurité et de contrôle pour les brûleurs à gaz et les appareils à gaz, en se concentrant spécifiquement sur les filtres à gaz ayant une pression de fonctionnement maximale allant jusqu'à 600 kPa. Le champ d'application de cette norme est clairement défini, stipulant que le document spécifie les exigences de sécurité, de conception, de construction et de performance applicables aux filtres à gaz destinés aux brûleurs et appareils utilisant un ou plusieurs combustibles gazeux. Cela permet aux fabricants et aux utilisateurs de s'assurer que les filtres à gaz respectent des normes élevées de sécurité et d'efficacité. Parmi les points forts de la norme, on note la précision des exigences et des tests exigés pour les filtres à gaz. Cela garantit que tout équipement fabriqué conformément à cette norme répond non seulement aux standards de performance, mais aussi aux exigences de sécurité essentielles pour prévenir les risques liés à l'utilisation de gaz. La limitation de l'application à des filtres à gaz spécifiquement adaptés pour des pressions d'entrée déclarées jusqu'à 600 kPa et des tailles de connexion nominales jusqu'à DN 250 est également pertinente, permettant aux utilisateurs de mieux cibler leur conformité et leurs applications pratiques. Il est crucial de noter que cette norme clarifie également les cas non couverts, comme les filtres à gaz qui se connectent directement aux réseaux de distribution principaux ou aux conteneurs maintenant une pression de distribution standard. Cette exclusion aide à concentrer les efforts de conformité sur les produits qui en ont le plus besoin, réduisant ainsi le risque de confusion sur les exigences applicables. En conclusion, la norme EN 16898:2022+A1:2023 se révèle être un instrument essentiel pour les acteurs du secteur du gaz, fournissant des directives claires et spécifiques pour garantir la sécurité et la performance des filtres à gaz dans une large gamme d'applications. Sa pertinence dans le contexte actuel, où la sécurité des appareils à gaz est primordiale, ne peut être sous-estimée.

EN 16898:2022+A1:2023の標準は、ガスバーナー及びガス燃焼機器に使用される安全および制御装置に関する非常に重要な文書であり、その特に「ガスフィルター」の要件を詳述しています。この標準は、最大作業圧力が600 kPa以下のガスフィルターについて、設計、構造、性能及び試験の要求事項を明確に定めています。 この文書の強みは、その網羅的な範囲にあります。対象となるガスフィルターは、1つ以上の気体燃料を燃焼させるバーナーや機器に対応しており、要求される性能基準を満たすことが求められます。また、接続サイズがDN 250以下のフィルターに適用されるため、広範な実用性が確保されています。 さらに、特筆すべき点は、EN 13611:2019に基づいた適用範囲の明確化です。特に、直接メインパイプに接続されたり、標準分配圧力を維持する容器に接続されるガスフィルターには適用されないことを明示しており、これにより誤解を防ぎ、使用時の安全性を向上させています。 以上のように、EN 16898:2022+A1:2023は、ガスフィルターに関する安全性及び性能基準を確立するための必須文書であり、その適用範囲と明瞭な要件定義により、業界における高い信頼性を確保する重要な役割を果たしています。この標準は、ガスバーナー及びガス燃焼機器の市場において、安全性と性能を両立させるための基盤となっています。

Die Norm EN 16898:2022+A1:2023 legt die Anforderungen an Sicherheits- und Steuergeräte für Gasbrenner und gasbrennerische Geräte fest, speziell fokussiert auf Gasfilter mit einem maximalen Arbeitsdruck von bis zu und einschließlich 600 kPa. Ihr Anwendungsbereich umfasst wichtige Aspekte der Sicherheit, des Designs, der Konstruktion sowie der Leistungsanforderungen und Prüfungen für Gasfilter, die in der Gasbrenner- und Gerätebranche unverzichtbar sind. Ein wesentlicher Stärke dieser Norm ist die Klarheit der spezifischen Anforderungen, die sie an Gasfilter stellt. Diese Norm ist besonders relevant, da sie sicherstellt, dass Gasfilter mit einer nominalen Anschlussgröße bis zu DN 250 über die notwendigen Leistungsmerkmale verfügen, um die Sicherheit und Effizienz in der Nutzung von gasbasierten Brennstoffen zu gewährleisten. Zudem wird durch die Festlegung der maximalen Eingangsdruckgrenzen von 600 kPa eine präzise dem Betrieb und den Anforderungen entsprechender Sicherheit gewährleistet. Die Norm schließt Gasfilter aus, die direkt an die Hauptleitung oder an einen Behälter angeschlossen sind, der einen Standardverteilungsdruck aufrechterhält. Diese Einschränkung trägt dazu bei, die Anwendungsgebiete klar zu definieren und Missverständnisse über die Anwendbarkeit der Norm zu vermeiden, was die Relevanz des Dokuments in der Praxis erhöht. Insgesamt bietet die EN 16898:2022+A1:2023 eine wesentliche Grundlage für die Branche, indem sie die Sicherheitsstandards und Leistungsanforderungen für Gasfilter erheblich harmonisiert und somit einen wertvollen Beitrag zur Sicherheit von Gasbrennern und gasbrennerischen Geräten leistet.
