This document (prEN 12953-9:2023) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 269 “Shell and
water-tube boilers”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 12953-9:2007.
Annex G provides details of significant technical changes between this European Standard and the
previous edition.
The European Standard series EN 12953 concerning shell boilers 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: Workmanship and construction of pressure parts of the boiler
— Part 5: Inspection during construction, documentation and marking of pressure parts of the boiler
— Part 6: Requirements for equipment for the boiler
— Part 7: Requirements for firing systems for liquid and gaseous fuels for the boiler
— Part 8: Requirements for safeguards against excessive pressure
— Part 9: Requirements for limiting devices of the boiler and accessories
— Part 10: Requirements for feedwater and boiler water quality
— Part 11: Acceptance tests
— Part 12: Requirements for grate firing systems for solid fuels for the boiler
— Part 13: Operating instructions
Although these Parts may be obtained separately, it should be recognized that the Parts are
interdependent. As such, the design and manufacture of shell boilers requires the application of more
than one part in order for the requirements of the European Standard to be satisfactorily fulfilled.
