This European Standard specifies the safety, construction and performance requirements for automatic vent valves for use with gas burners, gas appliances and similar use, hereafter referred to as ‘valves’.
This European Standard is applicable to:
-   valves with declared maximum inlet pressures up to and including 500 kPa (5 bar) of nominal connection sizes up to and including DN 100 for use with one or more fuel gases in accordance with EN 437:2003+A1:2009;
-   electrically operated valves;
-   valves actuated by fluids where the control valves for these fluids are actuated electrically, but not to any external electrical devices for switching the control signal or actuating energy;
-   valves fitted with open position indicator switches.
NOTE   Provisions for final product inspection and testing by the manufacturer are not specified.

Automatische Abblaseventile für Gasbrenner und Gasgerät

Diese Europäische Norm legt die Sicherheits-, Bau- und Funktionsanforderungen an automatische Abblase-ventile zur Verwendung mit Gasbrennern, Gasgeräten und ähnlichen Anwendungen, nachstehend Ventile genannt, fest.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt für:
   Ventile mit angegebenen höchsten Eingangsdrücken bis einschließlich 500 kPa (5 bar) und Nennweiten bis einschließlich DN 100, die für die Verwendung mit einem oder mehreren Brenngas(en) nach EN 437:2003+A1:2009 ausgelegt sind;
   elektrisch betriebene Ventile und für Ventile, die durch Steuermedien angesteuert werden, wenn die Steuerventile für diese Medien elektrisch geschaltet werden; sie gilt nicht für externe elektrische Schalter, die das Steuersignal oder die Stellantriebsenergie beeinflussen;
   Ventile mit Meldeschaltern für die Offenstellung.
ANMERKUNG   Bestimmungen für die Prüfung von Endprodukten durch den Hersteller sind nicht festgelegt.

Robinets d'évent automatiques pour brûleurs à gaz et appareils à gaz

La présente Norme européenne spécifie les exigences de sécurité, de construction et de fonctionnement des robinets d’évent automatiques pour brûleurs à gaz, appareils à gaz et similaires, dénommés ci-après « robinets ».
La présente Norme européenne s'applique
- aux robinets dont la pression amont maximale déclarée est inférieure ou égale à 500 kPa (5 bar), de diamètres nominaux de raccordement inférieurs ou égaux à DN 100 utilisés avec un ou plusieurs combustibles gazeux conformément à l'EN 437:2003+A1:2009 ;
- aux robinets de sectionnement commandés électriquement ;
- aux robinets de sectionnement actionnés par des fluides où les vannes de commande de ces fluides sont commandées électriquement, mais en aucun cas aux dispositifs électriques externes commutant le signal de commande ou l’énergie motrice de commande ;
- aux robinets équipés de contacts indicateurs de position d'ouverture.
NOTE Les dispositions relatives aux contrôles et aux essais du produit final par le fabricant ne sont pas spécifiées.

Samodejni varnostno izpustni ventili za plinske gorilnike in plinske aparate

Ta evropski standard določa zahteve v zvezi z varnostjo, konstrukcijo in lastnostmi za samodejne ventilacijske ventile, ki se uporabljajo s plinskimi gorilniki, plinskimi aparati in podobnimi napravami (v nadaljnjem besedilu: »ventili«). Ta evropski standard se uporablja za: – ventile z deklariranim najvišjim vhodnim tlakom do vključno 500 kPa (5 bar) in nazivnimi velikostmi priključkov do vključno DN 100 za uporabo z enim ali več gorivnimi plini v skladu s standardom EN 437:2003+A1:2009; – električno upravljane ventile; – ventile, prožene s tekočino, pri katerih se ventili za upravljanje prožijo električno, vendar za preklapljanje pogonske energije ali krmilnega signala ne uporabljajo zunanjih električnih naprav; – ventile s kazalniki preklopa odprtega položaja.
