DIN EN 16497-1:2015-05

This standard is one of a series of co-ordinated standards dealing with specification, design, and testing of chimneys, both single and multi-wall. The co-ordinated package of standards is further divided by material of construction and this European Standard is one of a series of specifications and execution documents dealing with design and installation of concrete chimney products and systems. This European Standard specifies the materials and the dimensional and performance requirements for straight concrete system chimneys for non-balanced flue applications comprising a concrete flue liner and a combination of compatible chimney components, which may be concrete flue blocks obtained or specified from one manufacturing source with product responsibility for the whole chimney. This European Standard does not apply to concrete system chimneys with back ventilation. This European Standard does not cover products designated wet (W) in conjunction with corrosion class 3. This European Standard also applies to concrete system chimneys constructed from storey-height elements and flue blocks reinforced for handling. Any reference to the term flue blocks implies both flue blocks and their fittings, except where otherwise indicated. The committee responsible for this standard is NA 005-11-36 AA "Abgasanlagen aus Keramik und Beton (SpA zu CEN/TC 166/WG 3 und 5)" ("Clay/ceramic and concrete chimneys (national mirror committee for CEN/TC 166/WG 3 and WG 5)") at DIN.
