Specification for portable electrical apparatus designed to measure combustion flue gas parameters of heating appliances - Part 2: Performance requirements for apparatus used in statutory inspections and assessment; German version EN 50379-2:2012
Anforderungen an tragbare elektrische Geräte zur Messung von Verbrennungsparametern von Heizungsanlagen - Teil 2: Anforderungen an das Betriebsverhalten von Geräten für den Einsatz bei gesetzlich geregelten Messungen und Beurteilungen; Deutsche Fassung EN 50379-2:2012
Overview
This European Standard covers apparatus designed to measure flue gas parameters of heating appliances for domestic residential and commercial applications using commercially available fuels in compliance with metrological specification. The apparatus may consist of different functional modules that may be tested separately for complying with this standard and will be combined in different ways according to the different applications. Part 1 of EN 50379 specifies the general requirements and is supplemented by the requirements in EN 50379-2 and/or EN 50379-3. This European Standard specifies the construction, testing and performance requirements of portable spot reading apparatus designed to give a measurement of specific combustion flue gas parameters such as concentration of gaseous compounds, temperature and/or pressure to be used for testing the compliance with national regulations for the above mentioned appliances. The committee responsible for the standard is DKE/UK 966.1 "Mess- und Warngeräte für gefährliche Gase" ("Measurement and warning devices for dangerous gases") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
