Chimneys - Accessories - Part 7: Rain caps - Requirements and test methods

This European Standard specifies requirements and test methods for rain caps that are used as components, subject to flue gas, in order to prevent rain entry into the chimneys. Rain caps already tested together with system chimney products or other chimney components, e.g. terminals, are not covered by this standard. Rain caps incorporating a bird guard are also included. It also specifies the requirements for marking, manufacturers’ instruction, product information and evaluation of conformity.

La présente Norme européenne spécifie les exigences et les méthodes d'essai pour les chapeaux pare-pluie utilisés comme composants, en contact avec les fumées, afin d'empêcher la pluie de pénétrer dans les conduits de fumée.
Les chapeaux pare-pluie déjà soumis à essai avec les composants de conduits système ou les autres composants du conduit de fumée, tels que les terminaux, ne sont pas couverts par la présente norme.
Les chapeaux pare-pluie qui n'ont pas la même ouverture sur tous les côtés ou qui n'ont pas au moins les mêmes forme et section sur les côtés opposés ne sont pas couverts par la présente Norme européenne.
Elle spécifie également les exigences pour le marquage, les instructions du fabricant, les informations sur le produit et l'évaluation de la conformité.

Overview

EN 16475-7:2016/FprA1 - "Chimneys - Accessories - Part 7: Rain caps - Requirements and test methods" is a European Standard developed by CEN/TC 166. It specifies the requirements, test methods and conformity assessment for rain caps used on chimney flues to prevent rain entry. The standard covers rain caps (including those with integrated bird guards) as standalone chimney components, and sets rules for marking, manufacturer’s instructions, product information and evaluation of conformity (AVCP). Rain caps tested as integral parts of complete chimney systems or terminals are excluded. The draft amendment clarifies that rain caps with unequal openings or asymmetric cross-sections are not covered.

Key topics and technical requirements

• Scope and exclusions: Applies to standalone rain caps; excludes components already tested as part of a system chimney product or terminals; excludes asymmetrical designs per amendment.
• Performance characteristics:
  • Reaction to fire: Manufacturers must declare reaction-to-fire class (Euroclasses A1–F). For plastic rain caps the standard references EN 14471 for classification and testing; reaction-to-fire classification is expressed in accordance with EN 13501-1.
  • Flow resistance: Specifies how to determine the coefficient of flow resistance relevant to chimney performance (no numeric thresholds are given in the standard text extract).
• Testing and assessment methods: Defines required test methods and the role of notified laboratories in assessing essential characteristics (sampling, testing, calculation or descriptive documentation).
• Marking and documentation: Requirements for product marking, manufacturer’s instructions and product information to support safe installation and conformity.
• Conformity systems (AVCP): Assigns AVCP systems (System 1, 3, or 4 depending on reaction-to-fire regulation and intended use) in line with Regulation (EU) No. 305/2011 (CPR) Annex V.

Applications and who uses it

• Manufacturers of rain caps and chimney accessories - to design products that meet European performance and safety requirements and prepare documentation for CE marking.
• Test laboratories and notified bodies - to carry out required reaction-to-fire and flow-resistance testing and perform conformity assessment tasks.
• Specifiers, architects and HVAC installers - to select appropriate rain caps that meet regulatory requirements for reaction to fire and chimney performance.
• Certifiers and regulatory authorities - to verify compliance with CPR and national implementation of EN standards.
• Procurement teams and building owners - to ensure installed chimney accessories conform to safety and performance requirements.

Related standards

• EN 14471 - referenced for reaction-to-fire testing of plastic components
• EN 13501-1 - classification to Euroclasses (A1–F)
• Regulation (EU) No. 305/2011 (CPR) - for AVCP systems and CE marking
• Other parts of the EN 16475 series (Chimneys - Accessories) for additional accessory requirements
