BS EN 12952-1:2015 applies to water-tube boilers with volumes in excess of two litres for the
generation of steam and/or hot water at a maximum allowable pressure PS greater than 0,5 bar and
with a temperature in excess of 110 °C as well as auxiliary installations (other plant equipment).The purpose of this European Standard is to ensure that the necessary essential safety requirements
according to Annex I of the Pressure Equipment Directive are fulfilled in order to guarantee the safety of
water tube boilers.This aim will be achieved by:the proper application of the design, manufacturing, testing and inspection methods and
techniques,the provision of protective measures against hazards, which cannot be eliminated, andthe provision of information on residual hazards and other measures to reduce risk,which are incorporated in the various parts of this European Standard.The requirements of this European Standard take account of pressure-related hazards, which apply to
water tube boilers, including failure of pressure-retaining components due to overheating.This standard recognizes that it is not possible to cover all the combinations of situations that might
arise.Cross References:EN 764EN 12952-5:2011EN 12952-6:20112014/68/EUEN 12952-7EN 12952-8EN 12952-9EN 12952-16EN 45510-3-1EN 45510-3-3All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
