European foreword

This document (prEN 12067-2:2019) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 58 “Safety

and control devices for burners and appliances burning gaseous or liquid fuels”, the secretariat of which

is held by BSI.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 12067-2:2004.

This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the

European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directives.

For relationship with EU Directives, see informative Annexes ZA and ZB, which are integral parts of this

document.

It should be noted that the following significant changes compared to the previous edition have been

incorporated in this European Standard:

Introduction

This document recognizes the safety philosophy specified by CEN/TC 58 dealing with the safety,

construction and performance of controls for burners and appliances burning gaseous or liquid fuels

and to their testing.

This document refers to clauses of EN 13611:2019 and adapts them, indicating the changes by stating

“with the following modification”, “with the following addition”, “is replaced by the following” or “is not

applicable”. It also adds clauses or subclauses to the structure of EN 13611:2019 which are particular to

this standard (prEN 12067-2:2019). Additional subclauses or annexes are either numbered starting

from 101 or are designated as Annex AA, BB, CC etc. However, it should be noted that these clauses and

subclauses are not indicated as additions in the text.

EN 12067-2 compliance for electronic fuel/air ratio control system cannot be claimed based upon SIL

classification in accordance with EN 61508.

SIL classification cannot be claimed based upon compliance with this document only. A supplementary

method for SIL determination is specified in EN 13611:2019, Annex J.
