Chimneys - System chimneys with plastic flue liners - Requirements and test methods
This European Standard specifies the performance requirements and test methods for system chimneys with plastic flue liners used to convey the products of combustion from appliances to the outside atmosphere under dry and wet conditions. It also specifies the requirements for marking, manufacturer's instructions and evaluation of conformity.
This European Standard describes chimney components from which system chimneys can be assembled.
This European Standard is not applicable to chimneys with sootfire resistance classification class G.
This European Standard is not applicable for chimneys with the following classification:
- corrosion resistance class 2 concerning natural wood );
- corrosion resistance class 3;
- pressure class N2.
This European Standard is applicable to chimneys designed so that no condensate accumulation can occur, e.g. with a minimum inclination of 3° to the horizontal.
This European Standard is not applicable
- for system chimneys with plastic coated flue liners;
- to structurally independent (free-standing or self-supporting) chimneys.
Chimneys with components which need further processing during the installation to reach the final material properties are no system chimneys and therefore also not covered by this standard.
This European Standard does not cover the requirements for horizontal terminals (as defined for C1 installation types in CEN/TR 1749) regarding aerodynamic behaviour, rainwater ingress and icing behaviour.

La présente Norme européenne s’applique aux conduits de fumée conçus de façon à ce qu’aucune accumulation de condensat ne puisse se produire, par exemple avec une inclinaison minimum de 3° par rapport à l’horizontale.
La présente norme européenne ne s’applique pas :
aux systèmes de conduits de fumée avec conduits intérieurs revêtus de plastique ;
aux conduits de fumée structurellement indépendants (autoporteurs ou autonomes).
Les conduits de fumée comprenant des éléments qui nécessitent un traitement supplémentaire lors de l’installation pour obtenir les propriétés finales des matériaux ne sont pas des conduits-systèmes et ne sont donc pas couverts par la présente norme.
La présente Norme européenne ne couvre pas les exigences relatives aux terminaux horizontaux (tels que définis pour les types d’installations C1 dans le CEN/TR 1749) en ce qui concerne le comportement aérodynamique, la pénétration d’eau de pluie et le comportement au givrage.
