VDI 4209:2020-12

This standard specifies general requirements for the performance test of measuring devices used by chimney sweeps for the monitoring of firing installations not requiring a permit. It supplements and specifies the requirements of the series of standards VDI 4206 and replaces deviating requirements in the series of standards VDI 4206 published prior to this standard. This standard specifies requirements for the regular verification of the conformity of performance-tested measuring devices with the specified performance criteria and requirements for the manufacturer's quality management system. It also explains how to deal with modifications of performance-tested measuring devices. This standard specifies requirements for test laboratories that perform performance tests of measuring devices according to the series of standards VDI 4206 and inspections of the manufacturer's quality management system. The standard explains the recognition of the suitability of performance-tested measuring devices. This standard applies to all measuring devices that are used for measurements according to the German Ordinance on Small and Medium Firing Installations (1. BImSchV) or Art. 31 Para. 9 of the German Ordinance on medium combustion plants, gas turbine plants and combustion engine plants (44. BImSchV) as well as the German Chimney Sweeping and Inspection Code (Kehr- und Überprüfungsordnung - KÜO). This standard is addressed to manufactures of measuring devices for monitoring emissions at small firing installations, to test institutes performing performance tests of such measuring devices, and to the authorities responsible for the declaration of suitability. Bodies for periodic testing of performance tested measuring devices may use this standard as an additional source of information.
