Safety and control devices for burners and appliances burning gaseous and/or liquid fuels - Valve proving systems for automatic shut-off valves
This European Standard specifies safety, constructional and performance requirements of valve-proving systems, hereafter referred to as VPS, intended for use with gas burners and gas-burning appliances. It also describes the test procedures for checking compliance with these requirements and provides information necessary for the purchaser and user.
This European Standard applies to all types of VPS which are used for the automatic detection of leakage in a gas burner section having at least two valves designed in accordance with EN 161 and which give a signal if the leakage of one of the valves exceeds the detection limit.
This European Standard applies to VPSs with a maximum working pressure up to and including 500 kPa for use in systems using fuel gases of the 1st, 2nd or 3rd families.
This European Standard does not apply to VPSs for use in explosive atmospheres.
This European Standard is applicable to AC and DC supplied VPS (for VPS supplied by stand-alone battery system, battery systems for mobile applications or systems which are intended to be connected to DC supply networks VPS see Annex I).
Provisions for production control are not part of this European Standard.

EN 13611:2019, Abschnitt 1, wird wie folgt ersetzt:
Dieses Dokument legt die Sicherheits-, Auslegungs-, Konstruktions- und Leistungsanforderungen an Ventilüberwachungssysteme, im Folgenden "VPS" genannt, für Gasbrenner und Gasgeräte für einen oder mehrere gasförmige(n) Brennstoff(e) fest.
Dieses Dokument gilt für alle Arten von VPS, die für die automatische Erkennung einer Leckage in einem Gasbrennerabschnitt mit mindestens zwei automatischen Absperrventilen eingesetzt werden und die ein Signal abgeben, wenn die Leckage eines der Ventile, der zwischenliegenden Verrohrung oder des VPS selbst den Empfindlichkeitsgrenzwert überschreitet.
Dieses Dokument gilt für VPS für Gase mit einem höchsten Eingangsdruck bis einschließlich 500 kPa.
Dieses Dokument gilt nicht für VPS zum Einsatz in explosionsgefährdeten Atmosphären.
Dieses Dokument gilt für mit Wechsel- und Gleichspannung betriebene VPS (für VPS, die durch unabhängige Batteriesysteme, Batteriesysteme für die Anwendung in Fahrzeugen oder VPS für den Anschluss an Gleichspannungsnetze betrieben werden, siehe Anhang I).

6.6.4 Class C
6.6.4.1 Design and construction requirements
Shall be according to EN 13611:2019, 6.6.4.1 with the following modification:
Replace the third paragraph by the following:
At least the following states are defined as unsafe states:
a) if during burner shutdown, the gas flow through a valve or by-passing valve is higher than the
detection limit value of that valve except for the function of the VPS;
b) if a test for leakage is outside the limits defined in 3.105 or 3.106 (see 6.101.2);
c) overriding the VPS sequence control of the safety shut-off valves by the automatic burner control
system, except for the normal function of the VPS;
d) preventing the VPS from going to a defined fault response.
VPS or safety-related (hardware) parts of the VPS that are not powered during the stand-by and the
running state of the appliance shall execute all relevant internal tests during powering-up of the VPS.
Once the VPS is operational, the required internal test to detect the first faults leading to one of the unsafe
states as given in a) to d) shall be executed every 3 s.
For this type of VPS, the second fault shall only be considered to occur when a start-up sequence has been
performed between the first and the second fault.
VPS that are powered during stand-by or running state of the appliance shall comply with the following:
— the reaction time to detect the first faults leading to one of the unsafe states as given in a) to d) is ≤ 3 s;
— the reaction time to detect second independent fault is ≤ 24 h.
The VPS shall be fail-safe. VPS which meet the requirements of this clause and EN 13611:2019, 6.6.1.1
are considered to be inherently fail-safe.
The circuitry and the construction of the VPS shall be such that they meet the requirements of 7.101 and
shall be appraised according to the requirements of 6.6.4.2, 6.6.4.3 and 6.6.4.4, and under the test
conditions and criteria of 6.6.5.
Components shall be dimensioned on the basis of the worst-case conditions which can arise in the VPS,
as stated within the design documentation.
6.6.4.2 First fault
EN 13611:2019, 6.6.4.2 is replaced by the following:
Any first fault (see Annex E) in any one component or any one fault together with any other fault arising
from that first fault shall result in either:
a) the VPS becoming inoperative with all valve terminals de-energized;
b) the VPS proceeding to safety shutdown within 3 s, followed by a non-volatile or volatile lock-out. The
lock-out may be executed by the VPS, or by another safety related control within the appliance
preventing the burner start up. During subsequent reset action, the VPS shall not operate any valves

126 1 Scope
127 EN 13611:2019, Clause 1 is replaced by following:
128 This document specifies safety, constructional and performance requirements of valve-proving systems,
129 hereafter referred to as VPS, intended for use with gas burners and gas-burning appliances. It also
130 describes the test procedures for checking compliance with these requirements and provides
131 information necessary for the purchaser and user.
132 This document applies to all types of VPS which are used for the automatic detection of leakage in a gas
133 burner section having at least two valves designed in accordance with EN 161 and which give a signal if
134 the leakage of one of the valves exceeds the detection limit.
135 This document applies to VPS for fuel gases with a maximum working pressure up to and including
136 500 kPa.
137 This document does not apply to VPSs for use in explosive atmospheres.
138 This document is applicable to AC and DC supplied VPS (for VPS supplied by stand-alone battery
139 system, battery systems for mobile applications or systems which are intended to be connected to DC
140 supply networks VPS see Annex I).
141 Provisions for production control are not part of this document.
