Elektrische Geräte für die Detektion von brennbaren Gasen in Wohnhäusern - Teil 2: Ortsfeste elektrische Geräte zum kontinuierlichen Betrieb in Freizeitfahrzeugen oder ähnlichen Umgebungen - Ergänzende Prüfverfahren und Anforderungen an das Betriebsverhalten; Deutsche Fassung EN 50194-2:2006 + A1:2016
Overview
This European Standard specifies test methods and performance requirements for electrical apparatus for the detection of combustible gases designed for continuous operation in a fixed installation in recreational vehicles and similar premises. This standard specifies apparatus designed to operate in the event of an escape of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and/or petrol (gasoline) vapour and to provide a visual and audible alarm and an executive action in the form of an output signal that can actuate directly or indirectly a shut-off device and/or other ancillary device. These amendments focus on updates to the normative references and corrections to the EMC levels. The responsible committee 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.
