CEN/TC 236/WG 2 - Safety flexible metallic hose assemblies and connection valves for domestic gas appliances
To develop European Standards for the safe operation of flexible hose assemblies for gas, in metal and all other materials, with the exception of rubber and plastics, as well as safety gas connection valves by specifying the requirements of performance materials and test methods. These safety hose assemblies and gas connection valves specified are suitable for the connection of domestic appliances inside or outside a dwelling, using gas up to a pressure of 0,5 bar. The term "gas" relates to the first, second and third family as referred to in EN 437 - table 1. These gases are commonly referred to as manufactured gas, natural gas and petroleum gas (LPG).

The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) is a public standards organization that brings together the national standardization bodies of 34 European countries. CEN provides a platform for developing European Standards (ENs) and other technical documents in relation to various products, materials, services, and processes, supporting the European Single Market.
A Working Group in CEN is a specialized group responsible for developing standards or technical work within a defined scope. These bodies bring together international experts to create consensus-based standards that support global trade, safety, and interoperability.
These valves are suitable for connection of the fixed gas supply system to domestic appliances inside or outside a dwelling using 2nd or 3rd Family gases and at a pressure of up to and including 0,5 bar.
These valves are designed for the use with either movable appliances or for the connection of fixed appliances.

The objective of this European Standard is to achieve safe operation of strip wound flexible metallic gas hose assemblies by specifying the requirements of performance, materials and test methods.
The strip wound flexible metallic gas hose assemblies as specified are suitable for the connection of domestic appliances inside or outside a dwelling, using gas at a pressure lower than 0,5 bar.
These assemblies are designed for the use with movable appliances; they may also be used for the connection of fixed appliances.
Where these assemblies are directly connected to a valve, such a valve shall be compatible with the strip wound flexible metallic gas hose assembly and shall conform to prEN � (WI 00236004).
The term gas relates to a first, second or third family gas as referred to in EN 437, Table 1. These gases are commonly referred to as manufactured gases, natural gases or petroleum gases (LPG).
