CE-TYPE
CERTIFICATION... NOTHING MORE ? |
|
The burner control devices
for European market must fulfil all requirements of EN298, and should be
examined by an EC Notified Body in order to achieve specific
certification and PIN release.
European Standard EN746-2 1997 must also be
applied when such devices are installed in all industrial environments.
Without specific attestation from the manufacturer of these devices, the
responsibility of the correct application will be charged to integrators,
installers and kiln manufacturers. |
The easy way is to leave
the customer into this ambiguous position of responsibility, without
information. |
A typical problem:
supposing that the burner control device is linked with communication bus
and this technology was incorporated by an incompetent
device manufacturer.
The manufacturer of the kiln will provide for remote control system,
involving software procedures, convinced that burner control device can
work in full safety. |
If for any
reason, deliberate or accidental, the supervision system should send
continuously unlock commands the kiln could be filled by gas due to
failed ignition trials reiteration. You could imagine the consequences. |
WHO'S GUILTY ? |
The manufacturer of the
kiln! The responsibility is always of the manufacturer that put CE mark
to the machinery: he should have made a sure system, having specific
competence or using certified products. |
To leave Customers free of
any responsibility about correct use of any involved technology we can
provide special examination certificate from TÜV Munich that states full
conformity to the EN746-2 (GE2825), in addition to EN298 certificate
(CE-0085BM0346), considering that remote communication, like any
innovative function of our QUAD
Burner Control Device, is fully tested for safe operation. |
