Overview
EN 88-1:2011/FprA1 is a CEN draft amendment to the European standard EN 88-1:2011 covering pressure regulators and associated safety devices for gas appliances. It applies to pressure regulators with declared maximum inlet pressures up to and including 50 kPa (500 mbar) and nominal connection sizes up to DN 250, including pneumatic gas/air ratio pressure regulators (with zero pressure regulators treated as a special type). The amendment updates safety, construction and performance requirements, test methods and installation/operating instruction requirements to support conformity with EU directives.
Key Topics
- Scope and applicability
- Regulators for one or more fuel gases in accordance with EN 437
- Regulators using auxiliary energy and pneumatic gas/air ratio regulators
- Excludes regulators directly connected to gas distribution networks, open-air appliances, mechanically linked or electronic gas/air ratio controls (see EN 12067-2)
- Performance and control requirements
- Control performance tolerances: deviation limits of outlet/control pressures from ideal lines within ±15% or ±100 Pa (±1 mbar) - whichever is greater
- Stability requirement: continuous oscillation/hunting limited to ±10% or ±100 Pa, and must not push pressure outside control tolerances
- Test methods
- Revised clauses (7.102.3.1–3) define test procedures for:
- Control pressure variation with signal pressure (p2 vs p3)
- Control pressure variation with load determining pressure (p6 vs p4)
- Tests specify modulation ranges, use of manual control tap settings, and requirement to maintain constant inlet pressure during tests
- Revised clauses (7.102.3.1–3) define test procedures for:
- Documentation
- Updated requirements for installation and operating instructions and cross-references to figures/tables
Applications
- For manufacturers of gas appliance pressure regulators, burner assemblies and pneumatic gas/air ratio controls to design, test and certify products to meet European safety and performance benchmarks.
- For testing laboratories and notified bodies performing type testing and verification against EN 88-1 clauses and amendment requirements.
- For design engineers, installers and compliance officers who need to interpret performance tolerances, test procedures and required user documentation to ensure safe operation and regulatory compliance.
- Useful when specifying regulators for industrial furnaces, commercial boilers, burners and other gas-fired appliances operating with inlet pressures ≤ 50 kPa.
