EN 13611:2007+A2:2011 (E) 3 Foreword This document (EN 13611:2007+A2:2011) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 58 “Safety and control devices for gas-burners and gas-burning appliances”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by April 2012, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by April 2012. This document includes Amendment 1, approved by CEN on 2011-06-05 and Amendment 2, approved by CEN on 2011-07-29. This document supersedes #EN 13611:2007$. The start and finish of text introduced or altered by amendment is indicated in the text by tags ! "
and # $. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN [and/or CENELEC] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EC Directive(s). For relationship with EC Directive(s), see informative Annexes ZA or B, which are an integral part of this document. For additional requirements for safety accessories and pressure accessories as defined in EU-Directive 97/23/EC see normative Annex F. For controls used in DC supplied gas burners and gas burning appliances see additional requirements in normative Annex I. This European Standard covers type testing only. Tests intended for production testing are not specifically included. This standard recognizes the safety level specified by CEN/TC 58 and is regarded as a horizontal standard dealing with the safety, construction and performance of controls for gas burners and gas burning appliances and to their testing. #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 span 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 these standards can be considered as proven in practice. To be able to provide values for the parameters that are needed for Safety Integrity Level or Performance Level system assessment, the Annexes J and K of this document specifies a possible methodology to derive values for the relevant parameters from the requirements of this European Standard. SIST EN 13611:2008+A2:2012
EN 13611:2007+A2:2011 (E) 4 Only controls that comply with the relevant CEN/TC 58 control standard can be assessed for PL classification according to this amendment. It cannot be presumed that any Safety Integrity Level or Performance Level assessment alone would imply that requirements of a CEN/TC 58 standard have been met. For particularly slow and long term cycling controls the test method might result in testing durations which are not feasible. An interim appropriate solution would be to determine suitable service intervals (see also
EN ISO 13849-1). The responsible working group of CEN/TC 58 aim to find more representative test methods in the short term for specific scenarios.$ This European Standard should be used in conjunction with the specific standard for a specific type of control, (e. g. EN 88-1, EN 88-2, EN 125, EN 126, EN 161, EN 257, EN 298, EN 1106, EN 1643, EN 1854, EN 12067-1 and EN 12067-2, EN
12078) or for controls for specific applications. This standard may 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 may be necessary. Other control standards should make use of this standard by adapting this standard and stating "addition“, "modification“ or "replacement“ in their corresponding clauses. This 2nd edition of EN 13611 includes EN 13611:2000/A1:2004 and new 6.5 Electric parts of the control and 6.6. Protection against internal faults for the purpose of functional safety. Annex G contains a list of materials which meet the essential requirements of Pressure Equipment Directive (PED). According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom.

For classification of controls, see also the specific control standard. 4.2 Groups of control Controls are grouped according to the bending stresses which they are required to withstand (see Table 4). Group 1 controls Controls for use in an appliance or installation where they are not subjected to bending stresses imposed by installation pipework (e. g. by the use of rigid adjacent supports). Group 2 controls Controls for use in any situation, either internal or external to the appliance, typically without support. NOTE Controls which meet the requirements of a group 2 control also meet the requirements of a group 1 control. 4.3 Classes of control functions For the evaluation of protective measures for fault tolerance and avoidance of hazards it is necessary to classify control functions with regard to their fault behaviour. At the classification of control functions their integration into the complete safety concept of the appliance shall be taken into account. For the purpose of evaluating the design of a control function, present requirements recognise three distinct classes: Class A: Control functions which are not intended to be relied upon for the safety of the application,
NOTE Examples are: room thermostats, temperature control. Class B: Control functions which are intended to prevent an unsafe state of the appliance. Failure of the control function will not lead directly to a hazardous situation, NOTE Examples are: thermal limiter, pressure limiter. Class C: Control functions which are intended to prevent special hazards such as explosion or whose failure could directly cause a hazard in the appliance. NOTE Examples are: burner control systems, thermal cut-outs for closed water systems (without vent protection). SIST EN 13611:2008+A2:2012

In general conformity with the requirements given in this standard is verified by the methods of test given in this standard or the specific control standard. 6.2 Mechanical parts of the control 6.2.1 Appearance Controls shall be free from sharp edges and corners which could cause damage, injury or incorrect operation. All parts shall be clean internally and externally. 6.2.2 Holes Holes for screws, pins, etc., used for the assembly of parts of the control or for mounting, shall not penetrate gas ways. The wall thickness between these holes and gas ways shall be at least 1 mm. Holes necessary for manufacture which connect gas ways to atmosphere but which do not affect the operation of the control shall be permanently sealed by metallic means. Suitable jointing compounds may additionally be used. 6.2.3 Breather holes Breather holes in controls with diaphragms, which are not provided with a connection for a vent pipe, shall be designed in such a way that when the diaphragm is damaged, air does not escape at a rate of more than 70 dm³/h at the maximum inlet pressure. Conformity shall be verified by the method given in 6.2.4 For maximum inlet pressures below 3 kPa (30 mbar), this requirement is deemed to be met if the diameter of the breather hole does not exceed 0,7 mm. If a leakage rate limiter is used, it shall be able to withstand three times the maximum inlet pressure. If a safety diaphragm is used as a leakage rate limiter, it shall not take the place of the working diaphragm if there is a fault. Breather holes shall be protected against blockage or they shall be located such that they do not easily become blocked. They shall be positioned in such a way that the diaphragm cannot be damaged by a sharp device inserted through the breather hole. 6.2.4 Test for leakage of breather holes Rupture the dynamic part of the working diaphragm.
