Scope

This document gives guidance on hydrogen specific safety, design, construction, and performance requirements and testing of safety, control or regulating devices (hereafter referred to as controls) for burners and appliances burning gases with hydrogen content.

The following hydrogen concentrations are covered in this document:

- H2NG (hydrogen in natural gas) blends of 20 % hydrogen; or

- 100 % hydrogen; or

- varying blends / admixtures to natural gas.

Furthermore, it identifies the expected revision needs of the existing CEN/TC 58 standards as well as the need of potential further new standardization deliverables.

Purpose

This document is written in preparation of future revision of standards dealing with safety, construction, and performance requirements and testing of controls for burners and appliances burning:

- H2NG (hydrogen in natural gas) blend / admixture of 20 % hydrogen; or

- 100 % / pure hydrogen; or - varying blends / admixtures to natural gas.

The purpose of this Technical Report is to provide guidance on hydrogen specific topics, which need to be considered in the future standardization of CEN/TC 58 documents. Hydrogen will play an important role in the future in several energy segments and unique requirements and test methods need to be defined.

The main target of the proposal is to specify technical needs and tests for safety devices and control devices used for safety related functions (e. g. safety valves, automatic burner control systems, gas/air ratio control systems) or regulating functions in gas appliances (e. g. forced draught gas-burners, boilers).
