Introduction
This document is intended to be used in conjunction with EN 13611:2019.
EN 13611:2019 recognizes the safety level specified by CEN/TC 58 and is regarded as a horizontal
standard dealing with the safety, construction, performance and testing of controls for burners and
appliances burning gaseous and/or liquid fuels.
The general requirements for controls are given in EN 13611:2019, and methods for classification and
assessment for new controls and control functions are given in EN 14459:2021 (see Figure 1).
EN 126:2012 (see Figure 1) specifies multifunctional controls combining two or more controls and
Application Control Functions, one of which is a mechanical control function. The requirements for
controls and Application Control Functions are given in the specific control standard (see Figure 1,
control functions).

Figure 1 — Interrelation of control standards
EN 13611:2019 should be used in conjunction with the specific standard for a specific type of control (e.g.
EN 88-1:2022, EN 88-2:2022, EN 88-3:2022, EN 125:2022, EN 126:2012, EN 161:2022, EN 257:2022,

EN 298:2022, EN 1106:2022, EN 1643:2022, EN 1854:— , EN 12067-2:2022, EN 16304:2022,
EN 16340:2014, EN 16678:2022 and EN 16898:2022), or for controls for specific applications.
EN 13611:2019 can also be applied, so far as reasonable, to controls not mentioned in a specific standard
and to controls designed on new principles, in which case additional requirements can be necessary.
EN 14459:2021 provides methods for classification and assessment of new control principles.
Primarily in industrial applications it is common practice to rate the safety of a plant based on values
describing the likelihood of a dangerous failure. These values are being used to determine Safety Integrity
Levels or Performance Levels when the system is being assessed in its entirety.
CEN/TC 58 standards for safety relevant controls do go beyond this approach, because for a certain life
time for which the product is specified, designed and tested a dangerous failure is not allowed at all.
Failure modes are described and assessed in greater detail.

Introduction
The generic requirements for controls are given in EN 13611:2019 and methods for classification and
assessment for new controls and control functions are given in EN 14459:2015, Clause 1 up to and
including 7.13 (see Figure 1).
The requirements for controls are given in the specific control standard (see Figure 1).
Multifunctional Controls (MFC) according to EN 126:2012 with two or more controls and Application
Control Functions, e.g. the Gas Shut-off Control Function, being inherently multifunctional controls.
Each control integrated in the MFC meets the applicable requirements of the relevant control
standard(s). In addition, EN 126:2012 covers requirements for the safety related interactions between
the different devices.
