1 Scope and normative references
1.1 Scope
Add "Replacement" below the title of 1.1.
Add the following as a new bullet point before Note 1:
• to a burner control system intended to be used in warm air heating appliances (furnaces)
where the appliance is equipped with an electromechanical differential pressure control to
monitor the difference of the combustion air pressure (Type 2.AL). This pressure control
provides a switch as an alternative to one of the two switching elements to directly de-
energize the safety relevant terminals.
Add the following new paragraph as the last paragraph of 1.1:
This document applies to controls powered by primary or secondary batteries, requirements for
which are contained within the standard, including Annex V.
Add the following new subclauses:
1.1.7 This document applies to the electrical and functional safety of controls capable of
receiving and responding to communications signals. The signals may be transmitted to or
received from external units, connected wired or wireless, that may or may not be part of the
burner control system.
1.1.8 This document does not address the integrity of the output signal to the network devices,
such as interoperability with other devices, unless it has been evaluated as part of the control
system.
2 Terms and definitions
2.2 Definitions of types of control according to purpose
Replace the Note with the following:
2.2.23 Not applicable.
2.3.127
Add to the Note 1 to entry the words "and Canada" after "USA".
Delete definition 2.3.131.

Addition:
6.4.3.110 − electromechanical differential air pressure switch as an alternative to one of the
two switching elements to directly de-energize the safety relevant terminals (see 11.3.5.2) for
use in warm air heating appliances (furnaces) (Type 2.AL).
NOTE The warm air is the heat transfer media to heat up a space.

7 Information
7.2.6 Replace the existing text with the following:
Replacement:
Except as indicated in 7.4, for integrated systems all information is provided by means of
declaration (X). For incorporated systems not declared under item 50, the marking required is
as indicated in Table 1 (7.2 of the previous edition). For incorporated systems declared under
item 50, the only marking required is the manufacturer's name or trademark and the unique
type reference if other required marking is provided by documentation (D, E).
NOTE See the explanation of documentation (D, E) contained in 7.2.1.
Table 1 − Required information and methods of providing information
Add the following new items to the table:
141 Electromechanical differential pressure control for use with Type 2.AL 6.4.3.110, 11.103.3 X
burner control systems
142 (Type 2.AL) burner control systems for use in warm air heating 11.3.5.2, 11.103 X

11 Constructional requirements
11.3.5 Contacts – General
Replace the existing Subclause 11.3.5.2 by the following:
11.3.5.2 Replacement:
Systems of class C control functions shall include at least two switching elements to directly
de-energize the safety relevant terminals.
NOTE 1 A single relay operating two independent contacts is considered to be only one switching element.
Designs where relays are used as switching elements, a non-replaceable fuse (see Table H.24
Note I) in series with two independent relay contacts with I fuse < 0,6 * I relay are considered
N e
to comply with the following requirements for prevention of common cause error.
NOTE 2 I : values for the fuse (see IEC 60127-1:2015, 3.16);
N
I : rated operational current of the contact (see IEC 60947-1:2007; 4.3.2.3).
e
As an alternative to the two switching elements that directly de-energize the safety relevant
terminals, burner control systems (Type 2.AL) are permitted and shall meet all of the following:
• have at least one switching element that directly de-energizes the safety relevant terminals
and be connected to an external pressure control in such a manner that both the direct and
indirect switching contacts are in series to each other,
• be integrated within the warm air heating appliances (furnaces),
• meet the requirements of 11.103.
NOTE 3 The burner control system is a class C control function.
In Part 1, the term

• “safety related output terminals” is equivalent to “valve terminals”.
• “safety shut-down” shall be used as defined in this document,
• “control” shall be used as “burner control systems”.
11.4.105
Add in the first paragraph after "Type 2.AF" the text "or Type 2.AL".
nd
Replace in the 2 paragraph "positive" with "sufficient".
Add at the end of the clause the following Note:
NOTE Sufficient external air pressure/flow control signal is indicated by closed switching contacts and an
insufficient external air pressure/flow control signal is indicated by open switching contacts.
11.102.2 Performance requirements
Replace the existing text with the following:
The reset from lock-out function shall be a class B control function according to H.27.1.2.2.
The use of an automatic action to perform the reset from lock-out function (e.g. resets
generated by automatic devices, like timers, etc.) shall be permitted provided it is accepted by
the specific application standards.
Unintended or spontaneous resets from lockout which may impact the safe behavior of the
appliance shall not occur.
Whenever the reset from lock-out function is performed by the use of a mobile device, at
least two manual actions are required to activate the reset.
Any fault within the reset function shall not cause the appliance to operate outside the
applicable requirements. It shall be detected before the next start-up or shall not prevent the
appliance from going to shut-down or lock-out.
For reset functions where the manual action is initiated without being within the visible sight
of the appliance, the following additional requirements apply:
– actual status and relevant information of the process under control shall be visible to the
user before, during and after the reset action;
– maximum number of resets shall be limited. Where it is not specified in the specific
application standard, the number of resets shall be limited to five actions or less within a
time span of 15 min. Following this, any further remote resets shall be denied unless a non-
remote reset from lock-out.
If the reset action is activated by manual switching of a thermostat or device with a similar
function, this shall be declared by the manufacturer.
For systems where unintended resets do not impact the safe behavior of the controlled
appliance, any kind of remote reset device (including class A control function) is used, if a at
least class B control function of the burner control system
