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

26、he European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s). For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this document. EN 88 consists of the following parts under the general title “Pressure regulators and associated s

27、afety devices for gas appliances”: Part 1: Pressure regulators for inlet pressures up to and including 500 mbar; Part 2: Pressure regulators for inlet pressures above 500 mbar up to and including 5 bar. This European Standard should be used in conjunction with EN 13611 Safety and control devices for

28、 gas burners and gas burning appliances General requirements. SIL classification according to EN 61508 cannot automatically be claimed based upon compliance with this standard. Pressure regulators with SIL classification do not meet automatically the requirements of this standard. According to the C

31、ites EN 13611 Safety and control devices for gas burners and gas-burning appliances - General requirements wherever possible. This standard supplements or modifies the corresponding clauses of EN 13611. The construction and performance requirements are as far as applicable in total conformity with E

32、N 13611. DIN EN 88-2:2008-03 EN 88-2:2007 (E) 6 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the safety, construction and performance requirements for pressure regulators (hereafter referred to as regulators) intended for use with gas burners and gas-burning appliances using fuel gases of the 1st, 2ndan

33、d 3rdfamilies. This European Standard covers type testing only. It also provides additional information for the purchaser and user. This European Standard is applicable to regulators that may be tested independently of gas burners and gas-burning appliances, which have a declared working pressure fr

34、om above 500 mbar up to and including 5 bar. This European Standard is also applicable to regulators incorporating safety devices. NOTE 1 For safety accessories and pressure accessories, the requirements of EN 13611:2007, Annex F also apply. NOTE 2 Regulators conforming to EN 88-2 fulfil also the re

35、quirements of EN 88-1. Regulators intended to be used on pipe work installations for third family gases are also covered by EN 13785 and EN 13786. This European Standard is not applicable to: a) pressure regulators that are connected directly to mains pipe-work or to a container that maintains a sta

36、ndard distribution pressure; b) pressure regulators which use electrical auxiliary energy. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.
