CEN/TC 58/WG 10 - Common requirements and test methods for standards for gas controls

CEN/TC 58/WG 10 is a Working Group within the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). It is named "Common requirements and test methods for standards for gas controls" and is responsible for: This European Standard deals with the safety, construction and performance requirements of safety, control or regulating devices and sub-assemblies or fittings (hereafter referred to as controls) for burners and gas burning appliances using fuel gases of the 1st, 2nd or 3rd families and to their testing. This European Standard is to be used in conjunction with the specific control standard. When no applicable control standard exists, the control can be tested according to this standard and further tests by agreement between the manufacturer and test agency taking into account the intended use. Controls to which this European Standard applies include the following: - Automatic shut-off valves; - Burner controls; - Flame supervision devices; - Gas/air ratio controls; - Governors; - Manuel taps; - Mechanical thermostats; - Multifunctional controls; - Pressure sensing devices; - Valve proving systems; - Zero governors; - etc. This committee has published 3 standards.

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.
