Marking and labelling

The manufacturer shall make available a chimney plate made of a durable material that shall include the
following information:
a)

name or trademark of the manufacturer, engraved or indelibly marked;

NOTE

For CE marking and labelling, see ZA.3.

10 Evaluation of conformity
10.1 General
The conformity of the system chimneys working under wet conditions to the requirements of this
document and with the stated values (including classes) shall be demonstrated by:


initial type testing;



factory production control by the manufacturer, including product assessment.

For the purposes of testing, the system chimneys working under wet conditions may be grouped into
families, where it is considered that the selected property/properties is/are common to all the system
chimneys working under wet conditions within that family.

10.2 Components
Wet chimneys are made of components that have been already evaluated for conformity according to
their relevant product standards:


clay/ceramic flue liners

EN 1457;




insulation

EN 13162;



clay/ceramic outer wall elements

!EN 13069";



concrete outer wall elements

EN 12446;



metal outer wall elements

Annex B.

EN 13063-2:2005+A1:2007 (E)

10.3 Initial type testing

Type tests for the required characteristics given in Table 7 shall be performed initially together with
factory production control tests.
The test sequence according to A.1 shall be carried out on one size of flue liner for each geometrical
configuration (e.g. circular, square, rectangular). For circular flue liners the size to be tested shall be
(200 ± 50) mm internal diameter. For other geometrical configurations the flue liner shall have an
equivalent cross-sectional area range.
All other tests of Table 7, which are not included in the test sequence of A.1, are carried out separately.

10.4 Exchange of components
A new component in the system chimney shall comply with the relevant requirement clauses given in
Table 7.

EN 13063-2:2005+A1:2007 (E)

Factory production control tests are carried out by the manufacturer to monitor the quality of product.
(see Table 7).
Sampling and testing of any batch shall be completed prior to removal from the works and shall be in
accordance with ISO 2859-1 at an AQL of 10 % and inspection level S2. Isolated batches of units shall
be assessed in accordance with tightened inspection procedures, with a maximum batch size of
1 200 (see Annex C).
Batches rejected under the factory production control procedure may be resubmitted once, after removal
of units with previously undetected visible defects, under the tightened inspection procedures, in respect
only of the defect that caused initial rejection.
NOTE
A FPC system conforming with the above requirements of the relevant part(s) of EN ISO 9001 and made
specific to the requirements of this document, is considered to satisfy the above requirements.

Annex A
(normative)
Test methods

A.1 Test sequence for wet chimneys
The testing of wet chimneys in accordance with EN 13216-1 shall be carried out with the following test
sequence:
a) gas tightness;
b) thermal test on operating conditions;
c) gas tightness;
d) relative movement;
!deleted text"
e)

condensate resistance;

f)

abrasion resistance;

g)

h)

thermal resistance.

A.2 Additional test methods
A.2.1 Heat resistant test method for insulation (durability)
The test sample of insulation shall be placed in the test frame (0,4 x 0,4) m so that it will remain stable
during the test. The test frame shall be fitted into the opening on one side of a box furnace which is
capable of being heated so that the temperature on the inside surface of the inside face of the test
sample follows the heating curve shown in Figure A.1 until it reaches the test temperature according to
Table 1.
