This European Standard specifies the materials, dimensional and performance requirements for precast concrete flue blocks as defined in Clause 3 for use in chimneys. The flue blocks may be of single wall or multi wall construction. The standard does not apply to flue blocks with back ventilation.
This standard does not cover products designated wet (W) in conjunction with corrosion class 3.
The standard also specifies a type of flue block to dimensionally coordinate with masonry unit coursing height, referred to as a type B flue block.
This standard also applies to storey-height and flue blocks reinforced for handling.
NOTE   Any reference to the term flue blocks implies both flue blocks and their fittings, except where otherwise indicated.

Frequently Asked Questions

CEN/TC 166/WG 5 is a Working Group within the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). It is named "Chimneys and their components with inner linings of concrete". This committee has published 4 standards.

CEN/TC 166/WG 5 develops CEN standards in the area of Information technology. Currently, there are 4 published standards from this working group.

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.
