scope:

This European Standard specifies the requirements and test methods for access components comprising a frame and a door or doors which provide access to the flue of a chimney for the purpose of inspection or cleaning. Access components for higher nominal working temperature than 450 °C, positive pressure and wet applications are not covered by this standard. The standard is limited to access components with a door opening area up to 0,27 m2. Products not freely ventilated are excluded from this standard. This standard also specifies the requirements for marking, manufacturers' instruction, product information and evaluation of conformity. Access components already tested together with system chimney products or other chimney components, e.g. flue liners, are not covered by this standard.
