EN 298:2003 (E)
Introduction
Whilst this European Standard is written primarily for Automatic Gas Burner Control Systems used on or in
appliances for cooking, heating, hot water production, refrigeration, lighting or washing and having, where
applicable, a normal water temperature not exceeding 105 °C, it can be usefully quoted, as a whole or in part, by
standards for other equipment.
The functional characteristics of the automatic burner control systems, programming units, and their associated
flame detector devices, in so far as they are not laid down in this standard, are given by the standards for the
appliances for which the automatic burner control systems are intended.
This standard deals with immunity aspects of Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) only. Since automatic burner
control systems are intended for use as an integrated or incorporated part of an appliance, further EMC tests (both
immunity and emission) can be required for the intended use.
1 Scope
This European Standard specifies requirements for the construction and function, test methods and marking of
automatic burner control systems and also programming units and their associated flame detector devices for gas
burners and gas burning appliances with or without fans.
This standard also applies to automatic burner control systems, programming units and their associated flame
detector devices that include additional functions.
Automatic burner control systems utilizing thermo-electric flame supervision devices are not covered by this
standard.
This European Standard covers type testing only.
NOTE European Standards for burners, appliances or processes which use automatic burner control systems,
programming units or flame detectors can override the requirements of this standard.
2 Normative references
This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These
normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text, and the publications are listed hereafter. For
dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this European
Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references the latest edition of the
publication referred to applies (including amendments).

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this European Standard the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
flame detector device
device by which the presence of a flame is detected and signalled;
it can consist of a flame sensor, an amplifier and a relay for signal transmission. These parts, with the possible
exception of the actual flame sensor, can be assembled in a single housing for use in conjunction with a programming
unit
3.2
flame sensor
actual flame-sensing element, the output signal or value of which is used as the input for the flame detector amplifier
6

3.3
sensed flame and flame signal
3.3.1
sensed flame
physical value monitored by the flame sensor
3.3.2
flame signal
signal given by the flame detector device in case of sensed flame
3.4
flame simulation
condition which occurs when the flame signal indicates the presence of a flame when in reality no flame is present
3.5
programming unit
unit which reacts to signals from control and safety devices, gives control commands, controls the start-up sequence,
supervises the burner operation and causes controlled shut-down, and if necessary safety shut-down and lock-out;
the programming unit follows a predetermined sequence of actions and always operates in conjunction with a flame
detector device
3.6
automatic burner control system
system comprising at least a programming unit and all the elements of a flame detector device;
the various functions of an automatic burner control system can be in one or more housings
3.7
start position
stage, where the system is not in lock-out position, has not yet received the start signal but can proceed with the start-
up sequence when required;
at this stage, the output terminals for any automatic shut-off valve and ignition device are not energized
3.8
start signal
signal e. g. from a thermostat, which releases the system from its start position and commences the predetermined
programme
3.9
programme
sequence of control operations determined by the programming unit involving switching on, starting up, supervising
and switching off the burner;
safety actions such as safety shut down and lock out are also part of the programme
3.10

forced introduction of air through the combustion chamber and flue passages in order to displace any remaining
fuel/air mixture and/or products of combustion
3.10.1
pre-purge
purge which takes place between the start signal and the energization of the ignition device
3.10.2
post-purge
purge which takes place immediately following shut-down

---------------------- Page: 8 ----------------------

EN 298:2003 (E)
3.11
first safety time
interval between the pilot gas valve, the start gas valve or main gas valve, as applicable, being energized and the pilot
gas valve, start gas valve or main gas valve, as applicable, being de-energized if the flame detector signals the
absence of a flame
NOTE Where there is no second safety time, this is called the safety time.
3.12
second safety time
where there is a first safety time applicable to either a pilot or start gas flame only, the interval between the main gas
valve being energized and the main gas valve being de-energized if the flame detector signals the absence of a flame
3.13
burner without fan
burner where the primary air required for combustion is provided by the action of the gas and the secondary air is
freely available from the surroundings
3.14
burner with fan
burner in which some or all of the air required for the combustion is supplied by means of a fan (i. e. forced draught or
induced draught)
3.15
running position of the system
position of the system in which the burner is in normal operation under the supervision of the programming unit and its
flame detector device
3.16
controlled shut-down
process by which the power to the gas shut-off valve(s) is removed before any other action takes place, e. g. as a
result of the action of a controlling function
3.17
safety shut-down
process which is effected immediately following the response of a protection device or the detection of a fault in the
automatic burner control system and puts the burner out of operation;
the resulting state of the system is defined by deactivated terminals for the gas shut-off valves and the ignition device
3.18
lock-out
3.18.1
non-volatile lock-out
safety shut-down condition of the system, such that a restart can only be accomplished by a manual reset of the
system and by no other means
3.18.2
volatile lock-out
safety shut-down condition of the system, such that a restart can only be accomplished by either the manual reset of
the system, or an interruption of the main power and its subsequent restoration
3.19
spark restoration
process by which, following loss of flame signal, the ignition device will be switched on again without total interruption
of the gas supply
3.20
recycling
process by which, after a safety shut-down a full start-up sequence is automatically repeated
