CEN/TC 181/WG 3 - Small non-domestic space heaters

This European Standard specifies the characteristics and performance requirements for tubing and hoses made of either rubber or plastics for use with commercial propane and commercial butane and mixtures thereof, in the vapour phase, for connection of appliances, from:
- pressurized gas container to a regulating device,
- pressurized gas container to an appliance,
- regulating device to an appliance, and
- regulating device to installation pipework,
in environments of a temperature range from -30 °C to +70 °C. Working pressures are from 0 bar to 30 bar.
Three classes are defined in Table 1 according to the maximum working pressures and minimum ambient temperatures.
This European Standard only covers the tubing or hose part of assemblies. The assemblies themselves will be covered by EN 16436-2.
This European Standard does not apply to hoses for:
- welding purposes (see EN ISO 3821, EN 1327);
- propulsion purposes;
- LPG transfer purposes (see EN 1762).

This draft European Standard describes and specifies the characteristics and performance requirements for assemblies made of tubing and hoses complying with EN 16436-1 to be used in the same conditions.
All connections are given in Annex B.
This draft European Standard only defines specific connections which are not defined in other standards (e.g. EN 16129).

This European Standard defines the constructional and operational characteristics, the safety requirements, test methods and the marking of regulators and automatic change-over devices having a maximum regulated pressure of 4 bar, with a maximum capacity of 150 kg/h, for use with butane, propane and their mixtures in the vapour phase.
This European Standard also applies to the safety devices which are included within regulating devices covered by this standard. The characteristics of these safety devices are given in Annexes A and B.
This European Standard also includes the requirements for:
-   adaptors for connecting to self closing valves;
-   auxiliary safety devices.
For the purpose of this European Standard:
-   regulators and automatic change-over devices are referred to as "regulating devices";
-   regulators, automatic change-over devices and adaptors are referred to as "devices".
The requirements apply to devices used in locations where the temperature likely to be reached during use is between -20 °C and +50 °C. Additional requirements for devices to be used at temperatures below –20 °C are given in Annex C.
Additional requirements for regulating devices intended to be used in caravans, motor caravans and freshwater boats are given in Annex D.
Additional requirements for regulating devices intended to be used in seawater boats are given in Annex M.
For specific use in caravans motor caravans and boats (freshwater and seawater), the automatic change over device function may also be carried out by an assembly of regulators, forming an "automatic change over device system" as defined in 3.1.9.
For installation rules of devices and their possible associated safety devices, reference should be made to national regulations in force in the member countries.
All connections and the countries in which they are used are given in Annexes G and H.
This European Standard defines only specific connections which are not defined in other standards (e.g. EN 15202 for cylinder valve connections).

This document specifies the constructional and operational characteristics, the safety requirements, test methods and the marking of regulators and automatic change-over devices having a maximum regulated pressure of 4 bar, with a maximum capacity of 150 kg/h, for use with butane, propane and their mixtures in the vapour phase.
The maximum supply pressures for devices covered by this standard are 7,5 bar for butane and 16 bar for propane and LPG.
This document also applies to the safety devices which are included within regulating devices covered by this document.
This document also includes requirements for:
-   adaptors for connecting to self-closing valves;
-   integral or auxiliary safety devices.
This document covers devices used in locations where the temperature likely to be reached during use is between −20 °C and +50 °C
Additional requirements for devices to be used at temperatures down to −30 °C and/or up to +80 °C are defined in Annex C.
This document gives special requirements for:
-   devices intended to be used in caravans and motor caravans (Annex D);
-   devices intended to be used in boats (Annex M);
-   specific connections which are not defined in other standards (e.g. EN 15202:2012 for cylinder valve connections).
NOTE   1Boats considered in this document are recreational crafts covered by European Directive 2013/53/EU.
