Building valves - Water pressure reducing valves and combination water pressure reducing valves - Requirements and tests

This European Standard specifies dimensions, materials and performance requirements (including methods of test) for Water Pressrue Reducing Valves and Combination Pressure Reducing Valves, of nominal size from DN 8 to DN 100, for inlet pressures that do not exceed 1,6 MPa (16 bar) and a temperature that does not exceed 30°C for cold water application and 80°C for hot water application. Except when stated otherwise by the manufacturer, the valves can be mounted in any orientation.

Overview

EN 1567:1999 (adopted as SIST EN 1567:2000) is a European Standard from CEN that defines requirements and test methods for building valves-specifically water pressure reducing valves and combination pressure reducing valves. The standard covers valves of nominal sizes DN 8 to DN 100 intended for water supply systems with inlet pressures up to 1.6 MPa (16 bar). Temperature limits are ≤ 30°C for cold water and ≤ 80°C for hot water. Unless the manufacturer states otherwise, valves covered by this standard may be mounted in any orientation.

Key Topics

  • Scope and classification: Applies to water pressure reducing valves and combination pressure reducing valves used in building water supply systems (ICS: 91.140.60, 23.060.40).
  • Dimensions and nominal sizes: Requirements for valves from DN 8 to DN 100 to ensure interchangeability and correct sizing.
  • Materials: Specification of acceptable materials (metallic and non‑metallic) suitable for potable water and thermal conditions described in the scope.
  • Performance requirements: Limits for inlet pressure (≤ 1.6 MPa / 16 bar), temperature conditions (cold ≤ 30°C, hot ≤ 80°C), flow and control stability expectations.
  • Test methods: Standardised tests to verify pressure reduction performance, leakage, durability and compliance with material and dimensional requirements.
  • Installation orientation: Permits any mounting orientation except where the manufacturer provides alternative guidance.

Applications and Who Uses It

EN 1567 is intended for practical use in:

  • Manufacturers of water pressure reducing and combination valves to design products that meet European requirements.
  • Specifiers and consultants (plumbing and building services engineers) selecting pressure regulators for commercial and residential buildings.
  • Installers and contractors ensuring correct valve selection for system pressures and temperatures.
  • Test laboratories and certification bodies executing the standardised test methods for conformity assessment.
  • Building owners and facilities managers wanting durable, compliant pressure control solutions for water supply, protection of fixtures, and pressure management in multi‑storey buildings.

Practical applications include domestic plumbing, commercial buildings, HVAC and fire water supplies where consistent downstream pressure and equipment protection are required.

Related Standards (if applicable)

  • EN 1567 is part of the family of building valves and pressure regulator standards published by CEN. For complete compliance and system design, users should consider other relevant European standards for valve flanges, testing procedures and potable water materials adopted in their jurisdiction.

SIST EN 1567:2000 is classified under the following ICS (International Classification for Standards) categories: 23.060.40 - Pressure regulators; 91.140.60 - Water supply systems. The ICS classification helps identify the subject area and facilitates finding related standards.

SIST EN 1567:2000 is associated with the following European legislation: EU Directives/Regulations: 305/2011, 89/106/EEC, 93/38/EEC; Standardization Mandates: M/BC/CEN/88/15. When a standard is cited in the Official Journal of the European Union, products manufactured in conformity with it benefit from a presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of the corresponding EU directive or regulation.
