Specification for portable electrical apparatus designed to measure combustion flue gas parameters of heating appliances - Part 3: Performance requirements for apparatus used in non-statutory servicing of gas fired heating appliances; German version EN 50379-3:2012
Anforderungen an tragbare elektrische Geräte zur Messung von Verbrennungsparametern von Heizungsanlagen - Teil 3: Anforderungen an das Betriebsverhalten von Geräten für den Einsatz im nicht-geregelten Bereich bei Wartungen von gasbefeuerten Heizungsanlagen; Deutsche Fassung EN 50379-3:2012
Overview
This European Standard covers apparatus designed for checking the performance of heating appliances by measuring flue gas parameters of gas fired heating appliances for domestic residential and commercial applications. The apparatus may consist of different functional modules which 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 detect specific combustion flue gas parameters, such as concentration of gaseous compounds, temperature and/or pressure. The apparatus serves to decide if maintenance for the appliance is required and for adjusting the appliance during maintenance. 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.
