Introduction
Whilst this document is written primarily for Automatic Oil Burner Control Systems used on or in appliance for
cooking, heating, hot water production, refrigeration, lighting or washing and having, where applicable, a normal
water temperature not exceeding 105 °C, it may be usefully quoted, as a whole or in part, by standards for other
equipment.
The functional characteristics of the automatic burner control systems, programming units, and their associated
flame detector devices, in so far as they are not laid down in this document, are given by the standards for the
appliances for which the automatic burner control systems are intended.
This document deals with immunity aspects of Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) only. Since automatic
burner control systems are intended for use as an integrated or incorporated part of an appliance, further EMC
tests (both immunity and emission) may be required for the intended use.

5 Normal conditions for testing and measurement tolerances
All the tests shall be carried out under normal conditions unless otherwise specified. The normal conditions
are:
rated voltage or rated voltage range;
rated frequency;
ambient temperature of (20 ± 5) °C.
The error of measurement shall not exceed:
for time measurements: ± 0,1 s;
for temperature measurements: ± 1 K;

6 Constructional requirements
6.1 General
The quality of the materials, the design and the structure of the components used shall be such that the
automatic burner control systems and flame detector devices will operate safely and in accordance with the
requirements of this document – for a reasonable period of time (service life) under the normally expected
mechanical, chemical, thermal and environmental conditions, even in the event of such carelessness as may
occur in normal use, provided that the manufacturer's instructions for installation, adjustment, operation and
maintenance are complied with. Compliance is checked by carrying out the tests specified in this document.
The system shall be designed such that changes in critical circuit component values (such as those affecting
timing or sequence) within the component manufacturer's declared worst case tolerances, including the long
term stability, shall result in the system continuing to function in accordance with this document. Compliance
shall be checked by worst case analysis.
The construction of any additional functions included in the automatic burner control system, programming
unit or flame detector for which no provisions exist in this document, shall be such that they do not degrade
the safe and correct operation of the automatic burner control system, programming unit or flame detector.
The system shall include at least two operating elements to directly de-energise the safety relevant oil valve
terminals.
NOTE A single relay switching two independent contacts is considered to be only one operating element.

SIST EN 230:2006
EN 230:2005 (E)
6.2 Protection provided by the enclosure
The class of protection for systems with their own enclosure shall be a minimum of IP 40 according to
EN 60529. For systems for use in the open air the protection shall be a minimum of IP 54 according to
EN 60529.
For systems without enclosure, protection shall be provided by the burner in which it is installed.
6.3 Electrical equipment
The electrical equipment shall comply with the requirements of EN 60730-2-5:2002 Clauses 8, 9, 10, 11, 12,
13, 14, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23 and 24.
If the supply voltage polarity can affect the safety either provisions to avoid an uncontrolled opening of an oil
valve shall be provided or clear warnings shall be given to the user of the control system of the burner.
6.4 Long-term performance
6.4.1 General
All components of the system, and its associated flame detector device shall be able to withstand
250 000 burner start-up operations (255 000 where resistance to vibration is declared) and still comply with
this document. This requirement shall be attested by the manufacturer by following the requirements detailed
in 6.4.2.2.
6.4.2 Long-term performance test
6.4.2.1 General
The test of 6.4.2.2 and the test of 6.4.2.3 shall not be carried out on the same test sample. The tests as
described in 7.9 shall be carried out before and after the long-term performance tests of 6.4.2.2 and 6.4.2.3.
Additionally, on completion of the tests described in 6.4.2.3, the tests described in EN 60730-1:2000, 13.2.2
through 13.2.4 shall be carried out.
6.4.2.2 Tests to be carried out
The test of burner start-up operations shall be carried out with the terminals loaded with the loads and power
factors as declared by the manufacturer.
The system and its flame detector device shall be tested under the following conditions:
a) the purpose of the test is to cycle components of an electronic circuit between the extremes of
temperature likely to occur during normal use and which may result from ambient temperature variation,
mounting surface temperature variation, supply voltage variation, or the change from an operating
condition to a non-operating condition or vice versa.
The following conditions shall form the basis of the test:
1) Duration of the test:
the duration of test shall be 14 days.
2) Electrical conditions:
the system is loaded according to the ratings declared by the manufacturer, the voltage then being
increased to 110 % of maximum declared rated voltage except that for 30 min during each 24 h
14
---------------------- Page: 16 ----------------------
SIST EN 230:2006
EN 230:2005 (E)
period of the test the voltage is reduced to 90 % of minimum declared rated voltage. The change of
voltage shall not be synchronised with the change of temperature. Each 24 h period shall also
include at least one period in the order of 30 s during which the supply voltage is switched off.
3) Thermal conditions:
the ambient temperature and/or the mounting surface temperature are varied between the maximum
declared ambient temperature or 60 °C, whichever is higher, and the minimum declared ambient
temperature or 0 °C, whichever is lower, to cause the temperature of the components of the
electronic circuit to be cycled between the resulting extremes. The rate of ambient and/or mounting
surface temperature change shall be in the order of 1 °C/min and the extremes of temperature
maintained for approximately 1 h.
NOTE 1 Care should be taken to avoid the occurrence of condensation during this test.
4) Rate of operation:
during the test the system shall be cycled through its operational modes at the fastest possible rate
up to a maximum of six cycles/min subject to the need to cycle components between their
temperature extremes.
The number of cycles of operation completed during this test shall be recorded and if this number is
less than 45 000 the remaining cycles shall be executed at the declared rated voltage and at ambient
temperature.
b) 2 500 operations at the maximum declared ambient temperature or 60 °C, whichever is higher, and at
110 % of maximum declared rated voltage;
