Foreword
This document (prEN 88-2:2014) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 58 “Safety and control
devices for burners and appliances burning gaseous or liquid fuels”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 88-2:2007.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the
European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s).
For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annex ZA and ZB, which is an integral part of this
document.
For this European Standard a transition period of 3 years is proposed.
It should be noted that the following significant technical changes compared to the previous edition have been
incorporated in this European Standard:
a) scope enlarged to “Pressure regulators incorporating safety devices";
b) alignment with prEN 13611:2012;
c) requirements and tests added for pressure regulators which use auxiliary energy;
d) classifications according to accuracy, lock-up, and overpressure shut-off added;
e) clause 6 enlarged to “Design and construction”;
f) clause 6.2.104 “Integral safety shut-off device” added;
g) clause 6.2.105 “Resistance to pressure” added;
h) clause 6.2.107 “Creep relief device” added;
i) clause 7.3 “Test for leak-tightness”, new value for test pressure;
j) design of all Figures adapted to design of Figures in EN 13611;
k) annex BB “Overview of requirement and test conditions” added;
l) annex CC “Creep relief device” added;
m) annex DD “Comparison between EN 334:2012 and EN 88-2:2013” added.
EN 88 consists of the following parts, under the general title Pressure regulators and associated safety
devices for gas appliances:
 Part 1: Pressure regulators for inlet pressures up to and including 50 kPa
 Part 2: Pressure regulators for inlet pressure above 50 kPa up to and including 500 kPa and associated
safety devices

Performance Level (PL) or Safety Integrity Level (SIL) classifications according to EN ISO 13849-1 or
EN 61508-1 cannot automatically be claimed based upon compliance with this European Standard. Pressure
regulators with SIL classification do not meet automatically the requirements of this standard.
