This European Standard specifies requirements for the construction and function, test methods and marking of automatic burner control systems and programming units and their associated flame detector devices for gas burners and gas burning appliances with or without fans. This standard also applies to automatic burner control systems, programming units and their associated flame detector devices that include additional functions.
This standard deals with immunity aspects of Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) only. Since automatic burner control systems are intended for use as an integrated or incorporated part of an appliance, further EMC tests (both immunity and emission) can be required for the intended use.
This standard covers type testing only and does not cover automatic burner control systems utilizing thermo-electric flame supervision devices. European Standards for burners, appliances or processes which use automatic burner control systems, programming units or flame detectors can override the requirements of this standard.
