Publication date:   Aug 10, 2006

Scope

This European Standard specifies the requirements and test methods for multiwall soot fire resistant system chimneys, working under dry conditions, with corrosion resistance 3, with negative pressure (see EN 1443) in which the products of combustion are conveyed to the atmosphere through clay/ceramic flue liners. Marking and inspection are also covered by this standard.
This standard does not apply to structurally independent (free standing or self supporting) system chimneys.
A soot fire resistant system chimney has the following items where appropriate:
- clay/ceramic flue liners;
- Insulation layer;
- outer walls;
- mortar for jointing flue liners;
- mortar for jointing outer walls;
- terminal;
- chimney base;
- cladding;
- opening section;
