It should be noted that, in Germany, CE conformity marking of construction products will be permitted once this standard has been listed in the Official Journal of the European Union and/or the Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) and from the date given therein. For further
6、 information, users of this standard should refer to the websites of the European Commission or of the relevant building authority. The standard which this document replaces, DIN EN 331:2011-08, may be used in parallel with this standard during a specified transition period where such has been laid
7、down in the Official Journal of the European Union and/or the Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette).

It applies to metallic valves not directly buried for domestic and commercial installations inside or outside of buildings. It also details the test methods and marking provisions. Amendments This standard differs from D
10、IN EN 331:2011-08 as follows: a) the range of pressure classes has been extended; b) temperature class -40 C has been deleted, since there are no certified elastomers (gasket materials) for this class; c) the range of nominal sizes has been extended to include DN 65, DN 80 and DN 100; d) the surveil
11、lance of the FPC (Factory Production Control) shall now be undertaken every two years (formerly once per year); e) a new Annex A “Resistance to high temperatures for valves classes B and C” has been added; f) Annex ZA (informative) has been updated.

DIN EN 331:2016-04 EN 331:2015 (E) 5 1 Scope 1.1 This European Standard specifies the characteristics for the construction, performance and safety of ball valves and closed bottom taper plug valves. It also details the test methods and marking provisions
37、. It applies to metallic valves not directly buried for domestic and commercial installations inside or outside of buildings, using gases of the first, second and 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
38、 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 other 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
