Building valves - Pressure safety valves - Tests and requirements
This European Standard specifies, dimensions, materials and performance requirements (including methods of test) for pressure safety valves, of nominal sizes from DN 15 to DN 40, having working pressures from 0,1 MPa (1 bar) to 1,0 MPa (10 bar). Pressure safety valves are intended for fitting to the cold water supply of storage water heaters, having a maximum distribution temperature of 95°C, for all energy sources. Pressure safety valves do not control the temperature and alone do not constitute the protection required for storage waters heaters.
Gebäudearmaturen - Sicherheitsventile - Prüfungen und Anforderungen
Diese Europäische Norm legt Maße, Werkstoffe und Leistungsanforderungen (einschließlich der Prüfverfahren) für Sicherheitsventile in den Nennweiten DN 15 bis DN 40 mit Arbeitsdrücken) von 0,1 MPa (1 bar) bis 1 MPa (10 bar) fest. Sicherheitsventile sind für die Ausrüstung der Kaltwasserversorgung von Speicherwassererwärmern mit einer maximalen Gebrauchstemperatur von 95° C, unabhängig von den verwendeten Energiequellen bestimmt. Das Sicherheitsventil überwacht nicht die Temperaturen und stellt auch nicht die einzige für einen Speicherwassererwärmer erforderliche Sicherheit dar.

La présente norme européenne spécifie les dimensions, la nature des matériaux et les exigences de performance (y compris les méthodes d'essai) auxquelles doivent satisfaire les soupapes de sécurité pour des dimensions nominales de DN 15 à DN 40 et avec des pressions de service de 0,1 MPa (1 bar) à 1,0 MPa (10 bar). Les soupapes de sécurité sont destinées à être montées au niveau de l'alimentation eau froide des chauffe-eau à accumulation, dont la température ne dépasse pas 95°C, quelque soit le mode d'énergie utilisé.

Overview
EN 1489:2000 (CEN) - Building valves - Pressure safety valves - Tests and requirements - is a European Standard that defines the essential dimensions, materials and performance requirements (including methods of test) for pressure safety valves intended for building use. The standard covers valves of nominal sizes DN 15 to DN 40 and working pressures from 0.1 MPa (1 bar) to 1.0 MPa (10 bar). These pressure safety valves are designed to be fitted to the cold water supply of storage water heaters with a maximum distribution temperature of 95°C. EN 1489 makes clear that pressure safety valves do not control temperature and alone do not constitute the full protection required for storage water heaters.
Key topics and requirements
- Scope and applicability: Nominal sizes DN 15–DN 40; working pressures 0.1–1.0 MPa; for cold water storage heater supplies up to 95°C.
- Dimensions and construction: Standardized physical dimensions and construction features to ensure interchangeability and correct fit in building systems.
- Materials: Requirements for materials suitable for potable water installations and long-term service.
- Performance requirements: Defined performance characteristics including reliability, resistance to corrosion and degradation, and operational stability.
- Test methods: Prescribed tests and procedures to verify compliance with performance and safety requirements.
- Marking and documentation: Expectations for product information, identification and traceability to demonstrate conformity with EN 1489.
- Safety note: Explicit statement that these valves do not control temperature and must not be relied on as the sole safety measure for storage water heaters.
Applications
EN 1489 is directly applicable to the selection, testing and specification of pressure safety valves used on the cold water supply side of domestic and commercial storage water heaters. Typical practical uses include:
- Product design and validation by valve manufacturers
- Quality control and type testing in certified test laboratories
- Technical specifications for building services engineers and installers
- Procurement standards and compliance checks for construction projects
- Demonstrating conformity with European building valve requirements
Who uses this standard
- Valve manufacturers for design, testing and certification
- Testing laboratories performing performance and conformity tests
- Building services engineers and system designers specifying protective devices
- Installers and maintenance personnel ensuring correct component selection and fit
- Procurement and compliance teams verifying product documentation and marking
Related topics
EN 1489 sits within the suite of standards for building valves and water supply systems; users should consult complementary European and national standards covering installation practices, plumbing systems and broader valve testing methods when specifying or installing pressure safety valves.
