Introduction

This document is a particular standard for pressure Regulators for gas-burners and gas-burning

appliances which cites the generic requirements of EN 13611:2019 wherever possible. This document

supplements or modifies the corresponding clauses of EN 13611:2019. The construction and

performance requirements are as far as applicable in total conformity with EN 13611:2019.

This document is intended to be used in conjunction with EN 13611:2019. This document refers to

clauses of EN 13611:2019 or adapts clauses by stating “with the following modification”, “with the

following addition”, “is replaced by the following” or “is not applicable” in the corresponding clause.

This document adds clauses or subclauses to the structure of EN 13611:2019 which are particular to

this document. It should be noted that these clauses and subclauses are not indicated as an addition.

Subclauses which are additional to those in EN 13611:2019 are numbered starting from 101. Additional

Annexes are designed as Annex AA, BB, CC, etc.

Performance Level (PL) or Safety Integrity Level (SIL) classifications according to EN ISO 13849-1 or

EN 61508-1 cannot automatically be claimed based upon compliance with this document. Pressure

regulators with SIL classification do not automatically meet the requirements of this document.

500 kPa, of nominal connection size up to and including DN 250 for use with one or more fuel gases

in accordance with EN 437;
— pressure regulators incorporating safety devices;
— pressure regulators and safety devices which use auxiliary energy; and

— stand-alone pressure regulators or pressure regulators equipped with a control device for

maximum or minimum gas pressure.
