BS EN 50379-1:2004 Specification for portable electrical apparatus designed to measure combustion flue gas parameters of heating appliances - Part 1: General requirements and test methods
This European Standard covers apparatus for measuring gas concentrations and other combustion
parameters, as used in the installation and maintenance of heating appliances. Such apparatus
may be used for testing the performance of appliances for different types of fuels, either by the
installer, maintenance engineer or inspector.
The apparatus may consist of different functional modules, which may be tested separately for
complying with this standard and will be combined in different ways according to the different
applications. The apparatus shall comply with requirements as specified in EN 50379-2 and/or
EN 50379-3.
This European Standard specifies general requirements for the construction, testing and
performance of portable spot reading apparatus designed to give an assessment of specific
combustion flue gas parameters, such as concentration of gaseous compounds, temperature
and/or pressure, to check the combustion performance of heating appliances for domestic
residential and commercial applications, using commercially available fuels.
This standard excludes apparatus for
– continuous emission, safety monitoring and control, and
– use in vessels with an international load line.
