For valves subject to European legislation on pressure equipment, EN 16668 applies together with this European Standard.
For industrial process control valves, EN 1349 and EN 60534 2 1 apply together with this European Standard.
For water supply application, EN 1074 1 and EN 1074 2 apply together with this European Standard.
NOTE 1 Butterfly valves for water supply application do not comply with Annex ZA and are not CE marked because they are excluded from the pressure equipment European legislation.
NOTE 2 The range of DN, applicable to each PN, for wafer and wafer lug valve types is as given in the appropriate part of EN 1092 for Type 11 flanges for the applicable material. The range of DN, applicable to each PN, for flanged valve types is as given in the appropriate part of EN 1092 for Type 21 flanges for the applicable material.

Frequently Asked Questions
CEN/TC 69/WG 4 is a Working Group within the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). It is named "Butterfly valves" and is responsible for: To develop butterfly valves standards. This committee has published 7 standards.
CEN/TC 69/WG 4 develops CEN standards. The scope of work includes: To develop butterfly valves standards. Currently, there are 7 published standards from this working group.
The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) is a public standards organization that brings together the national standardization bodies of 34 European countries. CEN provides a platform for developing European Standards (ENs) and other technical documents in relation to various products, materials, services, and processes, supporting the European Single Market.
A Working Group in CEN is a specialized group responsible for developing standards or technical work within a defined scope. These bodies bring together international experts to create consensus-based standards that support global trade, safety, and interoperability.
