This European Standard applies to water-tube boilers with volumes in excess of 2 l for the generation of steam and/or hot water at an allowable pressure greater than 0,5 bar and with a temperature in excess of 110°C as well as other plant equipment. The purpose of this EN is to ensure that the hazards associated with the operation of water tube boilers are reduced to a minimum and that adequate protection is provided to contain the hazards that still prevail when the water tube boiler is put into service.
