European foreword
This document (EN 12952-10:2021) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 269 “Shell and
water-tube boilers”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an
identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by June 2022, and conflicting national standards shall be
withdrawn at the latest by June 2022.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document supersedes EN 12952-10:2002.
EN 12952 series, Water-tube boilers and auxiliary installations consists of the following parts:
• Part 1: General;
• Part 2: Materials for pressure parts of boilers and accessories;
• Part 3: Design and calculation for pressure parts;
• Part 4: In-service boiler life expectancy calculations;
• Part 5: Workmanship and construction of pressure parts of the boiler;
• Part 6: Inspection during construction, documentation and marking of pressure parts of the boiler;
• Part 7: Requirements for equipment for the boiler;
• Part 8: Requirements for firing systems for liquid and gaseous fuels for the boiler;
• Part 9: Requirements for firing systems for pulverized solid fuels for the boiler;
• Part 10: Requirements for safeguards against excessive pressure;
• Part 11: Requirements for limiting devices of the boiler and accessories;
• Part 12: Requirements for boiler feedwater and boiler water quality;
• Part 13: Requirements for flue gas cleaning systems;
• Part 14: Requirements for flue gas DENOX systems using liquefied pressurized ammonia and ammonia
water solution;
• Part 15: Acceptance tests;
• Part 16: Requirements for grate and fluidized-bed firing systems for solid fuels for the boiler;
• CR 12952 Part 17: Guideline for the involvement of an inspection body independent of the
manufacturer;
• Part 18: Operating instructions.
Although these parts can be obtained separately, it should be recognized that the parts are inter-

5 Requirements
5.1 Steam boiler
5.1.1 Each steam boiler and each isolatable heated compartment (e.g. reheater, superheater,
economizer) shall be provided with at least one suitable safety device which shall ensure against
excessive pressure. The total certified discharge capacity of all safety devices mounted on the boiler shall
be at least equal to the maximum continuous rating (MCR) of the boiler. Pressure relieving devices shall
be installed in accordance with relevant parts of EN 764-7:2002. The suitability of the safety device shall
be demonstrated by a hot test on the assembled boiler.
The number and type of safety devices to be installed shall be specified by the manufacturer and shall
meet the requirements of this clause.
At least one of the following safety devices shall be considered suitable:
a) safety valves in accordance with EN ISO 4126-1:2013 or;
b) pilot-operated safety valve (POSV) in accordance with EN ISO 4126-4:2013, consisting of a main
valve, controlled by signals from 3 pilot valves;
c) controlled safety pressure relief system (CSPRS) in accordance with EN ISO 4126-5:2013, consisting
of a main valve, controlled by 3 redundant control paths.
In the case of safety devices in accordance with b) and c) the following shall apply:
• The safety device shall be capable of operating when the signal from only one pressure sensing line
is available.
• The size and position of the pressure sensing lines shall ensure that the risk of loss of function is
reduced to a minimum.
NOTE 1 The common size of sensing line is 15 mm internal diameter.
• The mechanical and electrical parts of the pilot and control unit which are used to actuate the main
valves shall still be functionally fit even in the case of an assumed individual defect.
• It shall be possible to prove the reliability of the safety pressure relief device by functional testing on
the plant.
It is permissible to operate more than one main valve from a single control unit.
Safety devices shall have a set pressure not exceeding the maximum allowable pressure (PS) of the
equipment to be protected, except as permitted as follows.
The discharge capacity corresponding to the required relief capacity at maximum continuous rating of
the applicable boiler parts shall be achieved without causing the pressure to be increased by more than
10 % of the maximum allowable pressure. The duration of the pressure increase up to 1,1 PS shall not
exceed 1 h per event.
If the capacity is provided by more than one safety device, only one of the devices needs to be set at a
pressure not exceeding PS. The other device(s) may be set at a pressure not more than 5 % in excess of
PS In these cases, it is necessary to use safety devices with certified overpressure lower than 10 %.
.
NOTE 2 More information can be found in EN 764-7:2002, Annex A.
The pressure at which a safety device is set to operate shall take into account the effect of static head, of
superimposed back pressure and whether this is constant or variable.
