This European Standard covers elements having up to four passages designated to accommodate a combination of flue liners and/or ventilation passages. This European Standard also relates to storey-height and reinforced outer wall elements. This European Standard does not apply to structurally independent (freestanding or self-supporting) chimneys constructed using these outer wall elements. NOTE Any reference to the term "outer wall element" implies both the outer wall elements and their fittings, except where otherwise indicated. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.
