EN 15287-1:2007 (E) 3 Foreword This document (EN 15287-1:2007) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 166 “Chimneys”, the secretariat of which is held by UNI. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by March 2008, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by March 2008. This document supersedes EN 12391-1:2003. This document is one of a series of specifications as listed below: Chimneys — Design, installation and commissioning of chimneys — Part 1: Chimneys for non-roomsealed heating appliances. Chimneys — Design, installation and commissioning of chimneys — Part 2: Chimneys for roomsealed heating appliances. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom.



EN 15287-1:2007 (E) 4 Introduction CEN/TC 166 started with its programme on standardization of chimneys approximately 15 years ago, with standards for interfaces, for products, for test and last but not least for design, installation, construction and commissioning matters. For the work program in the last years first priority had been given to product and test standards. In the meantime most of the product and test standards are published or nearly ready to be published. In order to introduce the products, which are tested and certified in accordance with the relevant European Standards, in an easy way on the markets of the different countries, some common rules for design, installation, and commissioning especially with reference to the designation of a chimney are helpful. Firstly CEN/TC 166/SC 2 started the work on execution standards for metal chimneys. The first standard had been already published as EN 12391-1 in 2003. In order not to repeat this work in all material oriented WGs and SCs, CEN/TC 166 decided in 2002 to give the task to WG 1 to develop a material independent design, installation and commissioning standard. CEN/TC 166/WG 1 started the work in 2003 and decided first to write two documents, one for chimneys connected to non-roomsealed heating appliances and one for chimneys connected to room-sealed heating appliances. Working on the documents there where two strong positions, one for a Technical Specification (TS) and one for a European Standard (EN). Following the proposal of CEN/TC 166/WG 1, CEN/TC 166 decided to launch a vote on the question which of the two positions should apply. The CEN/TC 166 members had been in favour of creating European Standards (EN).



EN 15287-1:2007 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard describes the method of specifying the design, installation criteria for system chimneys, construction of custom built chimneys, and the relining of existing chimneys. It also gives information on commissioning of chimneys. This European Standard also deals with connecting flue pipes. This European Standard does not apply to freestanding chimneys covered by EN 13084-1. This European Standard excludes chimneys designated H (high positive pressure chimneys) and chimneys for room-sealed heating appliances. For the purpose of this European Standard the term "installation" includes construction. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

4.2.4 Building construction and chimney route information In order to allow the chimney route to be determined the relevant details of the building or support structure shall be obtained (see Figure F.1). If the chimney is to be supported by the building structure, the construction of the building and the materials used shall be capable of supporting the loads imposed upon it by the chimney. The fixings shall be compatible with the materials of construction of the building. This shall be checked before installing the chimney. A check list of information is given in Annex F. 4.2.5 Local conditions Environmental and topographical particulars of the site shall be obtained. 4.2.6 Combustion air supply Information on the size and position of apertures for combustion air supply into the room containing the heating appliance shall be obtained (possible sources of data are given in 4.2.1). 4.3 Design requirements 4.3.1 General The design of the chimney installation shall be detailed and documented. Manufacturers' product information may fulfil this requirement. The design should enable a chimney product manufacturer’s standard components to be used in carrying out the installation. Modification of components, e.g. producing openings or adjustments of length may only be undertaken in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. NOTE The finished chimney should have a designation in accordance with EN 1443 (see Annex C). The chimney products should be chosen so that the designation reflects the suitability of the chimney for the intended use. Annex E gives an example for the designation of a metal system chimney and Annex A gives an example of the general designation of a chimney according EN 1443. The finished chimney should have a chimney plate (see Annex G). 4.3.2 Designation The chimney and connecting flue pipe shall have designation classes appropriate to the heating appliance data as required in 4.2.2 and the building structure data as required in 4.2.4. The connecting flue pipe may have a designation different from that of the chimney i.e. where the heating appliance output results in a positive pressure in the connecting flue pipe. Each designation parameter shall be of a class at least equal to that required or shall be of a higher class according to the following sequence:  T600 > T450 > T400 > T300 > T250 > T200 > T160 > T140 > T120 > T100 > T080;  H > P > N;  Wx > Dx;  D3 > D2 > D1;  W3 > W2 > W1;  G > O;



EN 15287-1:2007 (E) 13 where T
is the temperature class; P

The methods to determine the designation is according to the calculations of Annex A or according to national regulations or nationally accepted rules. The temperature class, the sootfire class and the distance to combustible material given in the designation of a chimney product may be used for the custom-built chimney designation. NOTE Examples for the determination of the designation of relined and custom built chimneys are given in Annex I and Annex J.



EN 15287-1:2007 (E) 14 4.3.3.4 Connecting flue pipe The designation of metal connecting flue pipes according to EN 1856-2 shall be determined according to Annex K. The designation of connecting flue pipes made of system chimney components, e.g. EN 1856-1,
EN 13063-1 and EN 14471 shall be determined according to 4.3.3.2. The designation of connecting flue pipes constructed in a custom-built manner, e.g. using glass, fibre products, or clay products such as bricks, should be determined according to Annex A. 4.3.4 Materials of construction 4.3.4.1 General Supplementary materials not supplied with the chimney products shall be fit for purpose (e.g. in terms of corrosion, temperature and strength), jointing compounds (e.g. cements, mortars and seals), rendering, waterproofing/sealing materials, fixings, screws or additional supports. 4.3.4.2 System chimneys System chimneys shall be in accordance with EN 1856-1, EN 1858, EN 13063-1, EN 13063-2 and EN 14471. 4.3.4.3 Relined chimneys 4.3.4.3.1 Flue liners Flue liners for relining shall be made from rigid flue liners according to the requirements of EN 1457,
EN 1856-2 and EN 1857, or flexible flue liners according to the requirements of EN 1856-2. Positive pressure and wet designated flue liners and fittings (i.e. access component), including any seals/sealants shall be confirmed as a combination for that pressure class and condensate resistance class. Chimney products according to the requirements of EN 1806, EN 1856-1, EN 1858 and EN 14471 may also be used as liners. 4.3.4.3.2 Insulation Any insulation between the new liner and the outer wall shall be either rigid or be loose material and be approved to be fit for the intended use or be an air gap or according to national regulations or nationally accepted rules. The thermal resistance or the thermal conductivity of the insulation shall be obtained from the product manufacturer, or in the absence of this information, typical values for the thermal conductivity are given in Annex A. NOTE 1
Care should be taken when using loose infill without binders to prevent the risk of flue blockage arising from the escape of the insulation into the flue, e.g. by choosing a material with adequate corrosion resistance and allows free movement of the flue liner. Loose infill with binders shall not prevent free movement of the liner. NOTE 2
To determine the effect of a closed air gap see Table A.3 or the alternative calculation. NOTE 3
To determine the effect of an open air gap an external heat transfer coefficient of 8 W/(m2⋅K) should be used in the calculation for heat transfer (see EN 13384-1). Any additional insulation outside of the air gap is excluded in the calculation.



EN 15287-1:2007 (E) 15 4.3.4.3.3 Outer wall The existing chimney will become the outer wall of the relined chimney. The existing chimney shall be checked that it is fit for relining purposes. Any repair of the existing chimney or its outer wall (e.g. for resistance to fire, gas tightness purposes) shall be in accordance with the national regulations or nationally accepted rules. Typical values for the thermal conductivity are given in Annex A. 4.3.4.4 Custom-built-chimneys 4.3.4.4.1 Flue liners Flue liners for custom-built chimneys shall be made from rigid flue liners in accordance with the requirements of EN 1457, EN 1856-2 and EN 1857. For positive pressure and wet applications flue liners and fittings (i.e. access component), including any seals/sealants shall be confirmed as a combination for that pressure class and condensate resistance class. Chimney products in accordance with the requirements of EN 1806, EN 1856-1, EN 1858 and EN 14471 may also be used as liners. 4.3.4.4.2 Insulation Any insulation between the liner and the outer wall shall be either rigid or be loose material and be approved to be fit for the intended use or be an air gap or according to national regulations and nationally accepted rules. The thermal resistance or the thermal conductivity of the insulation shall be obtained from the product manufacturer, or in the absence of this information. Typical values for the thermal conductivity are given in
Annex A. NOTE 1 Care should be taken when using loose infill without binders to prevent the risk of flue blockage arising from the escape of the insulation into the flue, e.g. by choosing a material with adequate corrosion resistance and allows free movement of the flue liner. Loose infill with binders shall not prevent free movement of the liner. NOTE 2 To determine the effect of a closed air gap see Table A.3 or the alternative calculation. NOTE 3 To determine the effect of an open air gap an external heat transfer coefficient of 8 W/(m2⋅K) should be used in the calculation for heat transfer (see EN 13384-1). Any additional insulation outside of the air gap is excluded in the calculation. 4.3.4.4.3 Outer wall Chimney products in accordance with EN 12446, EN 1806, EN 1858 and EN 13069 may be used as outer wall components. Other products may be used, e.g. brick, steel, concrete according to national regulations or nationally accepted rules. Performance characteristics for some products are given in Annex A. 4.3.4.5 Connecting flue pipe and adapters The material of the metal connecting flue pipe shall comply with EN 1856-2. System chimney components including adapters complying with EN 1856-1, or EN 14471 can also be used. Flexible flue liners complying with EN 1856-2 can also be used as connecting flue pipes where permitted in accordance with national regulations. Connecting flue pipes and adapters may also be constructed in a custom-built manner, e.g. using glass, fibre products, or even clay products such as bricks, according to national rules.



EN 15287-1:2007 (E) 16 4.3.4.6 Supplementary components or additional materials Supplementary components or additional materials shall have performance characteristics appropriate to the designation of the chimney components, which affect them e.g. insulation operating temperatures. 4.3.5 Flue size The flue for the chimney and the connecting flue pipe shall be sized to suit the heating appliance which it serves. The method for sizing the flue should be based on the thermal and fluid dynamic calculation methods of EN 13384-1 and EN 13384-2. NOTE 1 EN 13384-1 describes a calculation method for chimneys serving one appliance. NOTE 2 EN 13384-2 describes a calculation method for chimneys serving more than one appliances. NOTE 3 The chimney manufacturer or the heating appliance manufacturer may specify a flue size, but this should not conflict with the size range calculated according to either EN 13384-1 or EN 13384-2 as appropriate. 4.3.6 Chimney route The chimney route should be determined by the positions of the heating appliances the flue outlet position, air supply intake and the point of chimney termination. The chimney route should be the shortest, most direct route between the heating appliance outlet and the chimney termination and should be straight and vertical wherever possible, with the termination being as near to the highest part of the building (e.g. ridge) as practicable to ensure adequate draught and dispersion of flue gas. The chimney route selected should enable the chimney manufacturer standard components to be used in carrying out the installation, including offsets to be supported in compliance with the manufacturer’s installation instructions. Attention should be given to heat emitted from the chimney in applications where whole year operation is likely to affect comfort. NOTE A thermal resistance of at least 0,22 m2⋅K/W is recommended for temperature class T300 and above. 4.3.7 Connecting flue pipe route The connecting flue pipe shall not pass through a ceiling or into another fire compartment or spaces which cannot be inspected. A connecting flue pipe designated suitable for we
