EN 298:2012 (E) 4 Foreword This document (EN 298:2012) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 58 “Safety and control devices for burners and appliances burning gaseous or liquid fuels”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI. 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of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by November 2012, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by May 2015. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN [and/or CENELEC] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s). For the relationship of this document with EU Directive(s), see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this document. This document supersedes EN 230:2005 and EN 298:2003. This document refers to clauses of EN 13611:2007+A2:2011 and adapts them, indicating the changes by stating "with the following modification", "with the following addition", "is replaced by the following" or "is not applicable". It also adds clauses or sub-clauses to the structure of EN 13611:2007+A2:2011 which are particular to this standard (EN 298:2012). Additional sub-clauses or annexes are either numbered starting from 101 or are designated as Annex AA, BB, CC etc. It should be noted however that these clauses and sub-clauses are not indicated as additions in the text. The following is a list of significant technical changes between this document and the previous editions:
 Alignment with EN 13611:2007+A2:2011;  Integration of the requirements from EN 230 (EN 230 is merged into prEN 298); NOTE
If, due to the reference of EN 13611 the term “gas” will be part of a requirement or test, then the term “gas” shall be substituted by the term “fuel”
 Requirements from the flame supervision and the reactions in case of loss of flame have been adapted to modifications made in EN 267 and EN 676 and optimised for better understanding;  Requirements and tests for “independent flame detectors” have been integrated;  New requirements concerning “common cause” have been added;  Requirements for the new function “remote reset from lock-out” have been added. EN 298 compliance for burner control systems or flame detector devices cannot be claimed based upon SIL classification according to EN 61508. SIL classification cannot be claimed based upon compliance with this standard only. A supplementary method for SIL determination is specified in EN 13611:2007+A2:2011, Annex J.

Mechanical parts of the control
EN 13611:2007+A2:2011, 6.2 is not applicable. 6.3 Materials EN 13611:2007+A2:2011, 6.3 is not applicable. 6.4 Gas connections EN 13611:2007+A2:2011, 6.4 is not applicable. 6.5 Electronic parts of the control 6.5.1 General Shall be according to EN 13611:2007+A2:2011, 6.5.1 with the following addition: NOTE 1 The requirement to include at least two operating elements does not apply to flame detector devices which are not intended to energize shut-off valves directly. The requirement for two independent operating elements can be replaced by a requirement for one operating element for each shut-off valve (two operating elements in total), under the following conditions which guarantee the same overall safety level:
 an integrated solution consisting of a Burner control function and a Valve Proving System according to EN 1643 and
 the valve proving system checking the leakage during each burner cycle.
NOTE 2 The above requirement does not supersede the other requirements of this document e.g. fault assessment. The construction of any additional functions included in the automatic burner control system, programming unit or flame detector device for which no provisions exist in this standard, shall be such that they do not degrade the safe and correct operation of the automatic burner control system, programming unit or flame detector device. Measures shall be taken to protect against the failure of two (or more) switching elements, due to a common cause, by an external short-circuit that would prevent the burner control system from performing a safety shutdown.
Acceptable methods are current limitation, overcurrent protection device or internal fault detecting functions. SIST EN 298:2012



EN 298:2012 (E) 15 The suitability of measures to maintain the capability to interrupt the energization of the shut-off valve terminals by means of at least one switching element, or by interrupting a non-replaceable overcurrent protection device, shall be verified by the following test. The shut-off valve terminals of the burner control system are connected to a switch that is intended to switch the short-circuit current. With this switch opened, the burner control system is connected as described in EN 60730-1:2011, H.27.1.1.2 with the outputs energized to simulate normal operation (with the contacts of the internal switching elements closed). Where overcurrent protection devices are used as the protective measure, the power supply to the burner control system shall have the capability of supplying an inrush current of at least 500 A. When current limitation techniques are used, the power supply to the burner control system shall not limit the current. A short-circuit is applied between the shut-off valve terminals of the burner control system by closing the switch. The test is terminated if there is no current flow through the switch, or after one hour. If an overcurrent protection device is repl
