Specification for portable electrical apparatus designed to measure combustion flue gas parameters of heating appliances -- Part 2: Performance requirements for apparatus used in statutory inspections and assessment
This European Standard covers apparatus designed to measure flue gas parameters of heating appliances for domestic residential and commercial applications using commercially available fuels in compliance with metrological specification.
The apparatus may consist of different functional modules that may be tested separately for complying with this standard and will be combined in different ways according to the different applications. The apparatus shall comply with the general requirements as specified in EN 50379 1 and the performance requirements of EN 50379 2.
This European Standard specifies the performance requirements of portable spot reading apparatus designed to give a measurement of specific combustion flue gas parameters such as concentration of gaseous compounds, temperature and/or pressure to be used for testing the compliance with national regulations for the above mentioned appliances.
This standard excludes apparatus for
– continuous emission, safety monitoring and control, and
– use in vessels with an international load line.
NOTE 1 When this apparatus is used in industrial premises, national regulations shall be observed.
NOTE 2 Apparatus may contain functional modules that are not covered by this standard e.g. measurement of smoke spot number (see Annex A of EN 267).

Introduction
This European Standard covers apparatus for measuring gas concentrations and other combustion
parameters, as used in the installation and maintenance of heating appliances. It forms a specification for
portable electrical apparatus designed to measure combustion flue gas parameters of heating appliances,
and includes the following parts:
Part 1: General requirements and test methods;
Part 2: Performance requirements for apparatus used in statutory inspections and assessments;
Part 3: Performance requirements for apparatus used in non-statutory servicing of gas fired heating
appliances.
EN 50379-1 specifies general requirements for the construction, testing and performance of portable spot
reading apparatus designed to give an assessment of specific combustion flue gas parameters such as
concentration of gaseous compounds, temperature and/or pressure to check the combustion performance of
heating appliances for domestic residential and commercial applications using commercially available fuels.
EN 50379-2 is for apparatus intended to be used for statutory measurement. In several European countries,
legal requirements exist for the performance of heating appliances. Authorised inspectors use these
apparatus to measure the flue gas parameters, in order to test compliance with national regulations. Due to
the legal consequences resulting from the measurement there are strict requirements regarding the
measuring uncertainty of these apparatus. Therefore EN 50379-2 includes maximum values for measuring
uncertainty of the apparatus. Tests with real flue gases form a key part of the verification of the performance
of the apparatus for statutory measurement. The measuring uncertainty has to be justified by internationally
accepted methods over the whole measuring range.
EN 50379-3 is for apparatus intended to be used for non-statutory applications. There are reduced
performance requirements because the apparatus are designed to decide if maintenance for a gas fired
appliance is required and for adjusting the appliance during maintenance. There will be no determina
