43、at of which is held by AFNOR. 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of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by December 2013, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by December 2015. Attention is draw
44、n 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 12864:2001, EN 13786:2004+A1:2008 and EN 13785:2005+A1:2008. This document
45、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 Directive(s). For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this document. The main technical c
46、hanges that have been made since the latest edition are as follows: the merging of EN 12864, EN 13785 and EN 13786 and their amendments; the extension of the scope to adaptors; the addition of requirements for taking into account pressure loses of gas installations; the removal from this standard of
47、 drawing of connections described in other standards; the improvement of testing methods; additional corrections. Change-over devices and adaptors within the scope of this standard, are not covered by the EU Directive for gas appliances (2009/142/EC). Items relating to quality assurance systems, pro
48、duction testing and particularly certificates of conformity are not covered in this standard. According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus,
