Chimneys - Execution standard for metal chimneys - Part 1: Chimneys for non-roomsealed heating appliances

This European Standard describes the method of specifying the design criteria and the installation method for building custom built chimneys with rigid metal liners, for relining a chimney with rigid or flexible metal liners and for system chimneys with rigid metallic liners used to convey the products of combustion from heating appliances to the outside atmosphere. It also gives information on commissioning, cleaning and maintenance of an installed chimney.

Abgasanlagen - Ausführungsbestimmungen für Metallabgasanlagen - Teil 1: Abgasanlagen für raumluftabhängige Feuerstätten

Diese Europäische Norm beschreibt das Verfahren zur Festlegung der Bemessungskriterien und das Montageverfahren für System-Abgasanlagen mit starren Metallinnenrohren, die Innenrohrerneuerung einer Abgasanlage mit starren oder flexiblen Metallinnenrohren und von System-Abgasanlagen mit starren Metallinnenrohren, welche zur Ableitung von Verbrennungsprodukten von Feuerstätten an die Außenluft verwendet werden.  Sie enthält auch Angaben über die Inbetriebnahme, Reinigung und Instandhaltung einer eingebauten Abgasanlage.
Diese Norm gilt nicht für die Bemessung, den Einbau, die Inbetriebnahme, Reinigung und Instandhaltung von Abgasanlagen mit der Bezeichnung H (Abgasanlagen mit Überdruck) oder Abgasanlagen für raumluftunabhängige Feuerstätten.
Diese Norm enthält auch Festlegungen zur Begrenzung der Stütze einer Abgasanlage sowie die höchstzulässige freitragende Abgasanlagenhöhe von System- und Montage-Abgasanlagen.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt nicht für Abgasanlagen, die von Tragkonstruktionen unabhängig errichtet werden können (freistehend oder selbststützend).

Conduits de fumée - Norme de mise en oeuvre pour conduits de fumée métalliques - Partie 1: Conduits de fumée pour chaudieres non étanches

La présente Norme européenne spécifie la méthode permettant de préciser les criteres de conception ainsi que la méthode d'installation pour construire un conduit de fumée sur site au moyen de parois intérieure métallique rigide, pour tuber un conduit de fumée au moyen de parois intérieure métallique rigide ou flexible et pour les conduits de fumée simple paroi ou multiparois munis de parois intérieure métallique rigide utilisés pour évacuer les produits de combustion de l'appareil vers l'atmosphere extérieure. Elle donne aussi des informations sur la mise en service, le ramonage et l'entretien d'un conduit de fumée installé.
La présente norme ne traite pas de la conception, de l'installation, de la mise en service, du ramonage et de l'entretien des conduits de fumée portant la désignation H (conduit de fumée fonctionnant sous pression positive élevé) ou des conduits de fumée pour chaudieres étanches (ventouses).
La présente norme prescrit également des limites pour les supports de conduit de fumée et la hauteur maximale non supportée des conduits de fumée et conduits de fumée construits sur site a l'intérieur ou contre un bâtiment, et destinés a etre supportés par un mât ou une structure autre qu'un bâtiment.
Cette Norme européenne ne s'applique pas aux conduits de fumée structurellement indépendants (autoporteurs).

1 Scope
This European Standard specifies the method of specifying the design criteria and the installation method for
building custom-built chimneys with rigid metal liners, for relining a chimney with rigid or flexible metal liners and for
single wall system chimneys or multi-wall system chimneys with rigid metallic liners, used to convey the products of
combustion from heating appliances to the outside atmosphere. It also gives information on commissioning,
cleaning and maintenance of an installed chimney.
This standard does not cover the design, installation, commissioning, cleaning and maintenance of chimneys
designated H (high positive pressure chimney) and chimneys for roomsealed appliances.
This standard also specifies limitations for supporting a chimney, and the maximum unsupported chimney height
for system chimneys and custom-built chimneys within or against a building, and for supporting by a mast or other
structures than a building.
This European Standard does not apply to structurally independent (free-standing or self-supporting) chimneys.
2 Normative references
