Introduction
This European Standard is primarily intended for forced draught gas burners having a combustion air fan,
operated with gaseous fuels, and intended to be marketed as a complete assembly.
EN 437 sets out a system of classification of appliances into categories defined according to the gases and
pressures for which they are designed.
Such a system of classification, when applied to forced draught burners, can lead to difficulties in defining the
precise category to which a particular burner should be allocated. For example many burners are designed to
operate on a wide range of fuel gases with little or no modification other than adjustment of air supply.
The technical committee responsible for the standard decided that the following appliance categories for
forced draught burners should apply:
 single categories: I for natural gas and I for liquefied petroleum gas;
2R 3R
 dual category: II for natural and liquefied petroleum gas.
2R /3R
All the burners of this standard marked with these categories are commissioned on site and the measured
values are recorded in a commissioning report.
However it should be noted that the Gas Appliance Directive requires the specification of the type of gas and
the supply pressure used as well as the burner category.
Forced draught gas burners according to this standard are often used in industrial applications. The safety
principles are the same as for forced draught gas burners used for household/commercial applications.
Industrial forced draught gas burners however should operate safely in their industrial environment and the
risks involved can differ from those for household applications. These industrial forced draught gas burners
can be characterized by the ability to withstand industrial environmental influences, like moisture, high
temperature, electrical and magnetic phenomena, vibrations, etc.
Principal requirements for installation and construction of gas burners and industrial thermal processing are
covered by EN 746-family.
Special requirements for forced draught burners for industrial premises will be given as a note with the
addition "Industrial application".
Further information and application limitation for EN 676 forced draught burners which are used for industrial
application are given in informative annex I.
This document is a type C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and hazardous events are
covered are indicated in the scope of this document.
When provisions of this type C standard are different from those which are stated in type A or B standards, the
provisions of this type C standard take precedence over the provisions of the other standard, for machines
that have been designed and built according to the provisions of this type C standard.

by the manufacturer, see Annex J.
This European Standard specifies the requirements to be met by the manufacturer to ensure the safety during
commissioning, start-up, operation, shut-down and maintenance.
This European Standard does not deal with hazards due to specific applications.
This European Standard is not applicable to forced draught gas burners which are manufactured before the
date of its publication as EN.
This European Standard does not apply to burners specifically designed for use in industrial processes carried
out on industrial premises.
This European Standard deals also with the additional requirements for the burners in the scope with
pressurised parts and /or firing pressurised bodies, see Annex K.
This European Standard deals also with forced draught burners intended to be used with biogenous gaseous
fuels, mixtures with line-conveyed gas and special gaseous fuels.
This European Standard deals also with burners equipped to increase the total appliance efficiency; see
Annex M.
