Safety and control devices for oil burners and oil-burning appliances - Particular requirements - Part 1: Shut-off devices for oil burners (ISO 23553-1:2007, including Cor 1:2009)
ISO 23553-1 specifies safety, constructional and performance requirements, and testing of safety shut-off devices, for liquid fuels.
ISO 23553-1 covers type testing only.
It applies to safety shut-off devices which: are designed as e.g. automatic valves or fast-closing devices; are used in combustion plants to interrupt the flow of liquid fuels with or without delay on closing and with or without delay on opening; are for use with fuel oils; form part of a device having other function(s), such as oil pumps — in this case the test methods apply to those parts or components of the device forming the safety shut-off device, i.e. those parts which are necessary for the closing function; have declared maximum working pressures up to and including 5 000 kPa, for use on burners or in appliances using liquid fuels; are directly or indirectly operated electrically or by mechanical or hydraulic means; and are fitted with or without closed-position indicator switches.
The methods of test given in ISO 23553-1 are intended for product type testing.

Dieser Teil der ISO 23533 legt die Anforderungen an die Sicherheit, konstruktive Ausführung und Leistung
sowie die Prüfung von Sicherheitsabsperreinrichtungen für flüssige Brennstoffe fest.
Dieser Teil der ISO 23533 behandelt nur die Typprüfung.
Er gilt für Sicherheitsabsperreinrichtungen, die

- in Feuerungsanlagen eingesetzt werden und den Durchfluss flüssiger Brennstoffe beim Schließen und
Öffnen verzögert oder unverzögert absperren bzw. frei geben,
- bei Heizölen verwendet werden,
ANMERKUNG Bei anderen flüssigen Brennstoffen können zwischen dem Hersteller und der Prüfbehörde
zusätzliche Prüfverfahren vereinbart werden.
- Bestandteile eines Gerätes mit anderen Funktionen sind, wie beispielsweise Ölpumpen. In diesem Fall
gelten die Prüfverfahren für die Teile oder Bauteile der Einrichtung, die die Sicherheitsabsperreinrichtung
bilden, d. h. für diejenigen Teile, die für die Schließfunktion erforderlich sind,
- zulässige Nenn-Betriebsdrücke bis einschließlich 5 000 kPa aufweisen und für den Einsatz in Brennern
oder Einrichtungen vorgesehen sind, die flüssige Brennstoffe verwenden,
- direkt oder indirekt elektrisch betätigt oder durch mechanische oder hydraulische Mittel betätigt werden,
- mit Meldeschaltern ausgestattet sind oder nicht.
Die in diesem Teil der ISO 23553 angegebenen Prüfverfahren sind für die Typprüfung des Produktes
vorgesehen.

Elle ne couvre que les essais de type.
L'ISO 23523-1:2009 s'applique aux dispositifs de coupure de sécurité qui:
sont conçus pour fonctionner par exemple comme des vannes automatiques ou des dispositifs à fermeture rapide;
sont utilisés dans des installations de combustion dans le but d'interrompre l'écoulement de combustibles liquides avec ou sans retard sur la fermeture et avec ou sans retard sur l'ouverture;
sont utilisés pour des appareils fonctionnant au fioul;
font partie d'un dispositif ayant d'autres fonctions, par exemple des pompes à huile — dans ce cas, les méthodes d'essai s'appliquent aux parties ou aux composants du dispositif qui constituent le dispositif de coupure de sécurité, c'est-à-dire les parties qui sont nécessaires à la fonction de fermeture;
présentent des pressions de service maximales déclarées allant jusqu'à 5 000 kPa inclus, à utiliser avec des brûleurs ou dans des applications utilisant des combustibles liquides;
sont actionnés directement ou indirectement par un moyen électrique, mécanique ou hydraulique;
sont équipés ou non de commutateurs à indicateurs de position fermée.
Les méthodes d'essai données dans l'ISO 23523-1:2009 sont destinées aux essais de type d'un produit.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 23553-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 161, Control and protective devices for gas and
oil burners and gas and oil burning appliances.
ISO 23553 consists of the following parts, under the general title Safety and control devices for oil burners and
oil-burning appliances — Particular requirements:

1 Scope
This part of ISO 23553 specifies safety, constructional and performance requirements, and testing of safety
shut-off devices, for liquid fuels.
This part of ISO 23553 covers type testing only.
It applies to safety shut-off devices which:
⎯ are designed as e.g. automatic valves or fast-closing devices;
⎯ are used in combustion plants to interrupt the flow of liquid fuels with or without delay on closing and with
or without delay on opening;
⎯ are for use with fuel oils;
NOTE For other liquid fuels, additional test methods can be agreed between the manufacturer and the test
authority.
⎯ form part of a device having other function(s), such as oil pumps. In this case the test methods apply to
those parts or components of the device forming the safety shut-off device, i.e. those parts which are
necessary for the closing function;
⎯ have declared maximum working pressures up to and including 5 000 kPa, for use on burners or in

4 Classification
4.1 Classes of shut-off device
4.1.1 According to the method of operation
The following three types are in this class:
a) safety shut-off device which is opened by hand, held open by auxiliary energy and closed by interruption
or failure of the auxiliary energy;
b) safety shut-off device according to a), which may, however, also be closed by hand;
c) safety shut-off device which is opened and held open by auxiliary energy and closed by interruption or
failure of the auxiliary energy.
4.1.2 According to the installation
The following two types are in this class:
a) for indoor use;
b) for outdoor use.
4.2 Control groups
Controls are grouped according to the bending stress which is specified for testing (see 7.3).
a) Group 1 controls
Controls for use in an appliance or installation where they are not subjected to bending stresses imposed
by installation pipework (e.g. safety shut-off device being a part of the pump).
b) Group 2 controls
Controls for use in any situation, either internal or external to the appliance, typically without support.
NOTE Controls which meet the requirements of a Group 2 control also meet the requirements of a Group 1 control.
5 Test conditions
Tests shall be carried out at an ambient temperature of (20 ± 5) °C, unless otherwise specified.
Tests shall be carried out in the mounting position declared by the manufacturer. If there are several mounting
positions, tests shall be carried out in the least favourable position.
If no specific methods of test are given, conformity with these requirements shall be verified by inspection
and/or measurement.
6 Construction
6.1 General
Safety shut-off devices shall be designed, manufactured and assembled so that the various functions operate
correctly when installed and used according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
6 © ISO 2007 – All rights reserved
ISO 23553-1:2007(E)
All pressurized parts of a control shall withstand the mechanical and thermal stresses to which they are
subjected without any deformation affecting safety.
When reference is made in this part of ISO 23553 to ISO 23550, the word “gas” shall be replaced by “oil”.
