Gas safety shut-off devices for inlet pressure up to 10 MPa (100 bar)

This document specifies constructional, functional, testing marking and sizing requirements and documentation of gas safety shut-off devices:
-   for inlet pressures up to 100 bar and nominal diameters up to DN 400;
-   for an operating temperature range from -20 °C to +60 °C;
which operate with fuel gases of the 1st and 2nd family as defined in EN 437, used in the pressure regulating stations in accordance with EN 12186 or EN 12279, in transmission and distribution networks and also in commercial and industrial installations.
"Gas safety shut-off devices" will hereafter be called "SSDs" except in titles.
For standard safety shut-off devices when used in pressure regulating stations complying with EN 12186 or EN 12279, Annex ZA lists all applicable Essential Safety Requirements of Directive 2014/68/EU (PED).
This document considers the following temperature classes/types of SSDs:
-   temperature class 1: operating temperature range from -10 °C to 60 °C;
-   temperature class 2: operating temperature range from -20 °C to 60 °C;
-   functional class A: SSDs that close when damage to the pressure detecting element occurs or when external power fails and whose re-opening, is possible only manually;
-   functional class B: SSDs that do not close when damage to the pressure detecting element occurs but provide suitable and reliable protection and whose re-opening, is possible only manually;
-   type IS: (integral strength type);
-   type DS: (differential strength type).
SSDs complying with the requirements of this document may be declared as "in conformity with EN 14382" and bear the mark "EN 14382".
The material and functional requirements specified in this document may be applied to SSDs which use thermal energy or the effects of electrical energy to trip the operation of the closing member. For these SSDs the operational parameters are not specified in this document.
The SSD may incorporate a vent limiter, complying with the requirements in Annex J.
This standard for some paragraphs and sub clauses makes full reference to prEN 334:2016.
This document does not apply to:
-   SSDs upstream from/on/in domestic gas-consuming appliances which are installed downstream of domestic gas meters;
-   SSDs designed to be incorporated into pressure-regulating devices used in service lines  with volumetric flow rate ≤ 200 m3/h at normal conditions and inlet pressure ≤ 5 bar.
Continued integrity of safety shut-off devices is ensured by periodic functional checks. For periodic functional checks it is common to refer to national regulations/standards where existing or users/manufacturers practices.
This document considers the reaction of the SSDs functional class A to the specified reasonable expected failures in terms of "fail close" behaviour, but it should be consider that there are other types of failures whose consequences cannot bring to the same reactions (these risks are covered via redundancy as per EN 12186) and that residual hazards should be reduced by a suitable surveillance in use / maintenance.
In this document, both safety shut-off devices that can be classified as "safety accessories" by themselves according the Pressure Equipment Directive (2014/68/EU) as well as safety shut-off devices that can be used to provide the necessary pressure protection through redundancy (e.g. shutoff device integrated in a pressure regulator, shut-off device with a second shut-off device) are considered. Addition of environmental considerations;
The provisions in this document are in line with the state of art at the moment of writing.
This document does not intend to limit the improvement of actual provisions (materials, requirements, test methods, acceptance criteria, etc.) or the developing of new provisions for SSDs where they are suitable to ensure an equivalent level of reliability.

Stalna celovitost varnostnih zapornih naprav je zagotovljena z rednim preverjanjem delovanja. V zvezi z rednim preverjanjem delovanja je običajno sklicevanje na nacionalne predpise/standarde, če obstajajo, ali prakse uporabnikov/proizvajalcev.
Ta dokument obravnava odziv varnostnih zapornih naprav (SSD) funkcionalnega razreda A na navedene razumno pričakovane okvare v smislu vedenja »zaprtje ob okvari«, vendar naj se upošteva, da obstajajo tudi druge vrste okvar, katerih posledice ne morejo povzročiti enakih odzivov (ta tveganja so zajeta z redundanco v skladu s standardom EN 12186), in da je priporočljivo preostala tveganja zmanjšati z ustreznim nadzorom med uporabo/vzdrževanjem.
V tem dokumentu so obravnavane tako varnostne zaporne naprave, ki jih je mogoče opredeliti kot »varnostne pripomočke« v skladu z Direktivo o tlačni opremi (2014/68/EU), kot tudi varnostne zaporne naprave, s katerimi je mogoče zagotoviti potrebno zaščito pred tlakom z redundanco (npr. zaporna naprava, vgrajena v regulator tlaka, zaporna naprava, ki vključuje še eno zaporno napravo).
Dodatek okoljskih vidikov:
Določbe v tem dokumentu so v skladu s stanjem tehnike v času njegove priprave.
Ta dokument ne namerava omejevati izboljšanja dejanskih določb (materiali, zahteve, preskusne metode, merila sprejemljivosti itd.) ali oblikovanja novih določb za varnostne zaporne naprave, kadar so te primerne za zagotavljanje enakovredne ravni zanesljivosti.
Nekatere točke tega standarda naj se ponovno preučijo, ko bodo na voljo značilnosti za nekonvencionalne pline.
Plinske varnostne zaporne naprave, ki so v skladu s tem evropskim standardom, nimajo lastnega vira vžiga in zato ne spadajo na področje uporabe evropske direktive 2014/34/EU. Vsaka dodatna komponenta (npr. približevalno stikalo, potovalni pretvornik itd.) naj se neodvisno obravnava v okviru sklopov v skladu s smernico ATEX za uporabo Direktive 2014/34/EU Evropskega parlamenta in Sveta z dne 26. februarja 2014, izdaja december 2017, razdelka 42 in 43.

— temperature class 2: operating temperature range from –20 °C to 60 °C;
— functional class A: SSDs that close when damage to the pressure detecting element occurs or when
external power fails and whose re-opening, is possible only manually;
— functional class B: SSDs that do not close when damage to the pressure detecting element occurs
but provide suitable and reliable protection and whose re-opening, is possible only manually;
— type IS: (integral strength type);
— type DS: (differential strength type).
SSDs complying with the requirements of this document may be declared as “in conformity with
EN 14382“ and bear the mark “EN 14382”.
The material and functional requirements specified in this document may be applied to SSDs which use
thermal energy or the effects of electrical energy to trip the operation of the closing member. For these
SSDs the operational parameters are not specified in this document.
The SSD may incorporate a vent limiter, complying with the requirements in Annex J.
This standard for some paragraphs and sub clauses makes full reference to EN 334:2019.
This document does not apply to:
— SSDs upstream from/on/in domestic gas-consuming appliances which are installed downstream of
domestic gas meters;
— SSDs designed to be incorporated into pressure-regulating devices used in service lines with
volumetric flow rate ≤ 200 m /h at normal conditions and inlet pressure ≤ 5 bar.

The service lines are those defined in EN 12279
Continued integrity of safety shut-off devices is ensured by periodic functional checks. For periodic
functional checks it is common to refer to national regulations/standards where existing or
users/manufacturers practices.
This document considers the reaction of the SSDs functional class A to the specified reasonable
expected failures in terms of “fail close” behaviour, but it should be consider that there are other types
of failures whose consequences cannot bring to the same reactions (these risks are covered via
redundancy as per EN 12186) and that residual hazards should be reduced by a suitable surveillance in
use / maintenance.
In this document, both safety shut-off devices that can be classified as “safety accessories” by
themselves according the Pressure Equipment Directive (2014/68/EU) as well as safety shut-off
devices that can be used to provide the necessary pressure protection through redundancy (e.g. shutoff
device integrated in a pressure regulator, shut-off device with a second shut-off device) are considered.
Addition of environmental considerations;
The provisions in this document are in line with the state of art at the moment of writing.
This document does not intend to limit the improvement of actual provisions (materials, requirements,
test methods, acceptance criteria, etc.) or the developing of new provisions for SSDs where they are
suitable to ensure an equivalent level of reliability.
Some clauses of this standard should be re-considered at the time when characteristics for non-
conventional gases will be available.
Gas safety shut-off devices according to this European standard do not have their own source of ignition
and therefore are not within the scope of European Directive 2014/34/EU. Any additional component
(e.g. proximity switch, travel transducer etc.) should be independently considered in the framework of
assemblies per ATEX Guideline to the application of Directive 2014/34/EU of the European Parliament
and of the Council of 26nd February 2014, edition December 2017, §§42 and 43.
The document includes also environmental considerations.
