Specification for portable electrical apparatus designed to measure combustion flue gas parameters of heating appliances - Part 3: Performance requirements for apparatus used in non-statutory servicing of gas fired heating appliances

This European Standard covers apparatus designed for checking the performance of heating appliances by measuring flue gas parameters of gas fired heating appliances for domestic residential and commercial applications. The apparatus may consist of different functional modules which may be tested separately for complying with this standard, and will be combined in different ways according to the different applications. Part 1 of EN 50379 specifies the general requirements and is supplemented by the requirements in EN 50379 2 and/or EN 50379 3. This European Standard specifies the performance requirements of portable spot reading apparatus designed to detect specific combustion flue gas parameters, such as concentration of gaseous compounds, temperature and/or pressure, to be used to decide if maintenance for the appliance is required and for adjusting the appliance during maintenance. This European Standard excludes apparatus for – checking appliances using fuels other than gas, – continuous emission, safety monitoring and control, and – use in vessels with an international load line. NOTE 1 When this apparatus is used in industrial premises, national regulations should be observed. NOTE 2 Apparatus may contain functional modules which are not covered by this standard e.g. measurement of smoke spot number (see EN 267:2009+A1:2011, Annex A) and/or measurement of indoor ambient air (see EN 50543).

Introduction
This European Standard covers apparatus for measuring gas concentrations and other combustion
parameters, as used in the installation and maintenance of heating appliances. It forms a specification for
portable electrical apparatus designed to measure combustion flue gas parameters of heating appliances,
and includes the following parts under the generic title Specification for portable electrical apparatus designed
to measure combustion flue gas parameters of heating appliances:
Part 1: General requirements and test methods;
Part 2: Performance requirements for apparatus used in statutory inspections and assessments;
Part 3: Performance requirements for apparatus used in non-statutory servicing of gas fired heating
appliances.
EN 50379-1 specifies general requirements for the construction, testing and performance of portable spot
reading apparatus, designed to give an assessment of specific combustion flue gas parameters such as
concentration of gaseous compounds, temperature and/or pressure, to check the combustion performance of
heating appliances for domestic residential and commercial applications using commercially available fuels.
EN 50379-2 is for apparatus intended to be used for statutory measurement. In several European countries,
legal requirements exist for the performance of heating appliances. Authorised inspectors use these
apparatus to measure the flue gas parameters, in order to test the compliance with national regulations. Due
to the legal consequences resulting from the measurement there are strict requirements regarding the
measuring uncertainty of these apparatus. Therefore EN 50379-2 includes maximum values for measuring
uncertainty of the apparatus. Tests with real flue gases form a key part of the verification of the performance
of the apparatus for statutory measurement. The measuring uncertainty has to be justified by internationally
accepted methods over the whole measuring range.
EN 50379-3 is for apparatus intended to be used for non-statutory applications. There are reduced
performance requirements, because the apparatus are designed to decide whether maintenance for a gas
fired appliance is required, and for adjusting the appliance during maintenance. There will be no
determination of the measuring uncertainty for the apparatus.

– 5 – EN 50379-3:2012
1 Scope
This European Standard covers apparatus designed for checking the performance of heating appliances by
measuring flue gas parameters of gas fired heating appliances for domestic residential and commercial
applications.
The apparatus may consist of different functional modules which may be tested separately for complying with
this standard, and will be combined in different ways according to the different applications. Part 1 of
EN 50379 specifies the general requirements and is supplemented by the requirements in EN 50379-2 and/or
EN 50379-3.
This European Standard specifies the performance requirements of portable spot reading apparatus
designed to detect specific combustion flue gas parameters, such as concentration of gaseous compounds,
temperature and/or pressure, to be used to decide if maintenance for the appliance is required and for
adjusting the appliance during maintenance.
This European Standard excludes apparatus for
– checking appliances using fuels other than gas,
– continuous emission, safety monitoring and control, and
– use in vessels with an international load line.
NOTE 1 When this apparatus is used in industrial premises, national regulations should be observed.
NOTE 2 Apparatus may contain functional modules which are not covered by this standard e.g. measurement of smoke
spot number (see EN 267:2009+A1:2011, Annex A) and/or measurement of indoor ambient air (see EN 50543).
2 Normative references
The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are
indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references,
the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

For the purposes of type testing, for each sample the first test to be carried out shall be the initial
performance test (5.5.3). One sample of the apparatus shall be subjected to the relevant tests given in 5.3
and 5.4. The mechanical tests of 5.3 shall be carried out before the tests of 5.4 to 5.9. After finishing the
mechanical tests of 5.3 the initial performance test (5.5.3) shall be repeated at room temperature.
NOTE Due to the use of different calibration gases at pre-calibration by the manufacturer and type testing according
to this standard the instruments may show a discrepancy. In this case, it is permissible to make minor adjustments to the
apparatus during the initial performance test (5.5.3).
The EMC testing according to 5.4.1 may be carried out independently from all other tests of the standard.
The tests within 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5 may be performed in any sequence, but 5.6 to 5.9 shall be performed in the
sequence listed in this standard, where relevant.
5.1.3 Preparation of samples

5.3.2 Degree of protection
The enclosure of the apparatus shall provide at least an IP40 degree of protection when all probes etc. are
connected, in accordance with EN 60529:1991, Clauses 12 and 14. If an apparatus is designed for outdoor
use it shall provide at least an IP42 degree of protection when connected similarly.
