Safety and control devices for gas burners and gas-burning appliances — Particular requirements — Part 8: Multifunctional controls
ISO 23551-8:2016 specifies the safety, construction and performance requirements for multifunctional controls intended for use with gas burners, gas appliances and similar use, hereafter referred to as "MFC". ISO 23551-8:2016 is applicable to MFC with declared maximum inlet pressures up to, and including, 50 kPa (500 mbar) of nominal connection sizes up to, and including, DN 150 for use with one or more fuel gases. MFC consist of two or more functions, at least one of which is a mechanical control, as specified in the relevant control standards.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.

ISO 23551-8:2016(E)
Introduction
This part of ISO 23551 is designed to be used in combination with ISO 23550. Together, they establish
the full requirements as they apply to multifunctional controls. This part of ISO 23551 adapts
ISO 23550, where needed, by stating “with the following modification”, “with the following addition”,
“is replaced by the following” or “is not applicable” in the corresponding clauses. In order to identify
specific requirements that are particular to this part of ISO 23551 that are not already covered by
ISO 23550, this part of ISO 23551 may contain clauses or subclauses that are additional to the structure
of ISO 23550. These clauses are numbered starting from 101 or, in the case of an Annex, are designated
AA, BB, CC, etc.
It has been necessary to take into consideration the differing requirements resulting from practical
experience and installation practices in various regions of the world and to recognize the variation
in basic infrastructure associated with gas and/or oil controls and appliances. This part of ISO 23551
provides a basic framework of requirements that recognize these differences.

Introduction
This part of ISO 23551 is designed to be used in combination with ISO 23550. This part of ISO 23551,
together with ISO 23550, establishes the full requirements as they apply to the product covered by
this International Standard. This part of ISO 23551 adapts ISO 23550, where needed, by stating “with
the following modification”, “with the following addition”, “is replaced by the following” or “is not
applicable” in the corresponding clause. In order to identify specific requirements that are particular
to this part of ISO 23551 that are not already covered by ISO 23550, this part of ISO 23551 may contain
clauses or subclauses that are additional to the structure of ISO 23550. These clauses are numbered
starting from 101 or, in the case of an Annex, are designated AA, BB, CC, etc.
In an attempt to develop a full International Standard, it has been necessary to take into consideration
the differing requirements resulting from practical experience and installation practices in various
regions of the world and to recognize the variation in basic infrastructure associated with gas and/or
oil controls and appliances, some of which are addressed in Annexes E, F and G. This International
Standard intends to provide a basic framework of requirements that recognize these differences.
