Introduction
This European Standard contains product characteristics relating to the safety of persons, animal and property
and the protection of their environment.
The objective of this European Standard is to achieve safe operation of connection valves by specifying the
requirements of performance, materials and test methods.
Safety gas connection valves are used internally to connect gas appliances including movable gas appliances
and externally to connect appliances such as grills, gas radiation heating, lights etc.
Valves manufactured to this European Standard are designed to be used with compatible hose assemblies
conforming to EN 14800 and prEN 15070:2007.
Attention is drawn to the need for careful quality control as given in EN ISO 9001:2000.
This European Standard is based on a balance of requirements given by the major national European Gas
Authorities for valves and metal hose assemblies for the connection of domestic gas appliances.
It reflects the recognised practise and technology of products approved today as well as the present culture of
usage by the consumer.
The introduction of new technologies supported by National Gas Authorities may require the adoption of this
European Standard regarding individual requirements and tests.
1 Scope
These valves are suitable for connection of the fixed gas supply system to domestic appliances inside or
nd rd
outside a dwelling using 2 or 3 Family gases and at a pressure of up to and including 0,5 bar.
These valves are designed for the use with either movable appliances or for the connection of fixed
appliances.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1 Connections
3.1.1
safety connection valve
component which permits or interrupts the flow of gas by the movement of a closure device which is operated
by the connection or disconnection of a metal hose assembly where the valve inlet is connected to the gas
installation pipework and whose outlet connects mechanically to the metal hose assembly and prevents any
gas flow if the hose assembly is disconnected.
In addition it can incorporate an overflow safety device or a thermal safety device.
It also can be combined with a manually operated valve
3.1.2
safety quick connection
end fitting consisting of two parts that is designed to permit quick connection and disconnection without tools,
the device is leak-tight such that it prevents the release of gas from the upstream pipe work when
disconnected and is designed to prevent accidental disconnection and incorrect operation
3.1.3
threaded connection
connection which is gas tight achieved either by metal to metal contact in the thread or by assistance of a
gasket. This connection can only be assembled and disassembled with an appropriate tool
3.2
SC valve
abbreviation used in this European Standard to denote a safety connection valve as defined in 3.1
