DIN Standards Committee Heating and Ventilation Technology and their Safety
DIN EN 14597
Temperature control devices and temperature limiters for heat generating systems; German version EN 14597:2012
Temperaturregeleinrichtungen und Temperaturbegrenzer für wärmeerzeugende Anlagen; Deutsche Fassung EN 14597:2012
Overview
This European Standard applies to electrical or non-electrical temperature control devices which are used to control temperatures within heat generating systems by controlling the supply of energy as well as to limiting devices which ensure that the temperature in heat generating systems will not exceed a predefined limit. This European Standard specifies operating values, operating times, and operational sequences associated with the safety of the heat generating system. This European Standard also applies to controls using NTCs or PTCs thermistors, additional requirements for which are contained in Annex J of EN 60730-2-9. This European Standard applies to controls with a rated voltage not exceeding 690 V and with a rated current not exceeding 63 A. This European Standard also applies to manual controls if, electrically and/or mechanically, they form an integral part of automatic controls. This European Standard does not apply to room thermostats.
