Any horizontal terminal shall be designed in such a way that any condensate is discharged away from the wall.
6.1.7.3.4 Terminal guard
If the manufacturer prescribes, in the installation instructions, a protective guard for the terminal for use when
the outlets for evacuation of the combustion products open on to a walkway, this device shall be supplied to
the laboratory for test.
The dimensions of the terminal guard, when installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, shall
be such that the distance between any part of the guard and the terminal, except the wall plate, exceeds
50 mm. The guard shall not have any sharp edges likely to cause injury.
6.1.7.3.5 Fitting piece
For water heaters of types C , C and C , the fitting piece shall be designed so that it is possible to obtain the

Direct access to the rotating parts of a fan shall be prevented. The parts of a fan in contact with combustion
products shall be effectively protected against corrosion unless they are of corrosion resistant material;
furthermore they shall withstand the temperature of the combustion products.
6.1.7.3.6.2 Air monitoring device
Except for water heaters with gas/air ratio controls, before each fan start it shall be checked that there is no
simulation of air flow in the absence of air flow.
The supply of combustion air shall be checked by one of the following methods:
 supervision of the combustion air pressure or the combustion products pressure. This supervision of
pressure is only allowed for water heaters fitted with a constant speed fan during the operation of the
main burner and where the combustion products evacuation duct is surrounded by combustion air
throughout its length, which shall not exceed 3 m. In addition the following requirements shall be fulfilled:
 the ducts shall not have adjustable or removable restrictions and
 the pressure loss of the heat exchanger shall not exceed 0,05 mbar;
 continuous supervision of the combustion air rate or the combustion products rate. In this system, the
supervision device is activated directly by the flow of combustion air or combustion products. This is also
valid for water heaters with more than one fan speed in which the flows associated with each fan speed
are monitored by separate supervision devices;
7

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

EN 89:1999/A3:2006 (E)
 gas/air ratio control.
The following two indirect supervision methods are also allowed, but only for water heaters where the
combustion products circuit is completely surrounded by the air supply circuit or for separate ducts when the
leakage rate of the combustion products evacuation ducts meets the requirements of 7.2.2.2.1.2:
 indirect supervision (e.g. fan speed supervision) when there is an air monitoring device which
monitors the supply of combustion air at least once at each start up;
 supervision of the minimum and maximum air or combustion products rates with two rate supervision
devices.
6.1.7.3.6.3 Gas/air ratio controls
Gas/air ratio controls shall be designed and constructed so that reasonably foreseeable damage does not give
rise to a change capable of affecting safety.
Control tubes may be made of metal with suitable mechanical connections or of other materials with at least
equivalent properties and in this case are considered immune to breakage, accidental disconnection and
leakage after initial soundness checks. As such they are not subject to the tests in 7.16.2.4.2.
2
Control tubes for air or combustion products shall have a minimum cross-sectional area of 12 mm with a
minimum internal dimension of 1 mm. They shall be located and fixed so that any retention of condensate is
avoided and positioned such that creasing, leakage or breakage is prevented. Where more than one control
tube is used the relevant connection position for each shall be obvious. Provided that evidence is given and
precautions are taken to avoid condensation in the control tubes, the minimum cross sectional area of air
2
control tubes shall be 5 mm .”

1
1 m, with an internal diameter equal to the smallest diameter stated by the manufacturer in the technical
instructions and compatible with those given in Table A.7.
The thickness of the flue pipe is less than 1 mm.
If the diameter of the water heater flue socket does not correspond to the external diameter given in Table A.6, a
linking piece of thickness 1 mm is used to adapt the flue socket diameter.
The height of the flue is measured:
 for water heaters having a flue socket with a horizontal axis, from this axis;
 for water heaters having a flue socket with a vertical axis, from the plane of the flue socket outlet.
c) for type C water heaters
Except where otherwise stated, the water heater is connected to the shortest ducts with the smallest pressure
loss stated by the manufacturer in his installation instructions. If necessary, an external telescopic duct may
be sealed in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. The terminal guard is not fitted.
Type C , C , and C water heaters are tested with their terminals fitted. Type C , water heaters are tested with

1 3 5 1
a duct suitable for a wall with a thickness of 300 mm.
Type C , C and C water heaters are tested with their fitting pieces fitted but not connected to a test duct.

7.16.1.4 Gas/air ratio controls
7.16.1.4.1 Endurance
Ratio controls are subjected to an endurance test of 250 000 cycles with full diaphragm travel in each cycle.
After the endurance test it is checked that the gas/air ratio control continues to operate correctly.
7.16.1.4.2 Leakage of non-metallic control tubes
When control tubes are not made of metal or of other materials with at least equivalent properties, their
disconnection, breakage or leakage shall not lead to an unsafe situatio
