CEI EN 50379-1

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. This part of EN 50379 specifies the general
requirements and is supplemented by the requirements 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 European Standard excludes apparatus for

– continuous emission, safety monitoring and control, and

– use in vessels with an international load line.

NOTE 1 When this apparatus is used in industrial premises
national regulations may apply.

NOTE 2 Apparatus may contain functional modules which are not
covered by this standard e.g. measurement of smoke spot number (see
EN 267:2009+A1:2011, Annex A) and/or measurement of indoor ambient
air (see EN 50543).
