22、”, the secretariat of which is held by UNI. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by June 2016, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by September 2017. Attent

23、ion is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN and/or CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document supersedes EN 331:1998. The revised version: includes in one document the prev

24、ious publications of 1998 and 2010 to allow an easier reading of the text; allocates the clauses and the annexes in line with the framework of the standards which support CPR; enlarges the field of application to the nominal sizes DN 65, 80 and 100; updates the technical content in line with the cur

25、rent edition of the referenced standards; considers the proposals coming from the experience of the application of the previous edition of EN 331; adds Annex ZA for the relationship between this European Standard and the Essential Requirements of EN Construction Products Regulation. This document ha

26、s been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s).

BS EN 331:2015EN 331:2015 (E) 5 1 Scope 1.1 This European Standard specifies the characteristics for the cons

29、truction, performance and safety of ball valves and closed bottom taper plug valves. It also details the test methods and marking provisions. It applies to metallic valves not directly buried for domestic and commercial installations inside or outside of buildings, using gases of the first, second a

30、nd third family (specified in EN 437) and working up to 0,2 105Pa, 0,5 105Pa, 1 105Pa, 5 105Pa and 20 105Pa and with temperature limits from 5 C or 20 C to + 60 C. NOTE “Not directly buried” within the context of this standard means that valves below ground are not in direct contact with earth or ot

31、her materials e.g. that they are in a protected encasement. 1.2 Valve nominal sizes (DN) covered by this European Standard are as follows: 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 20, 25, 32, 40, 50, 65, 80, 100. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this docume
