Measures shall be taken to protect against failure of two (or more) switching elements, due to a common cause, by an external short circuit that would prevent the valve proving system from performing a safety shutdown. Acceptable methods are current limitation, overcurrent protection device or internal fault detecting functions. The suitability of measures to maintain the capability to interrupt the energisation of the shut-off valve terminals by means of at least one switching element or a non-replaceable overcurrent protection device has been interrupted shall be verified by the following test. The shut-off valve terminals of the valve proving system are connected to a switch that is intended to switch the short circuit current. With this switch opened, the valve proving system is connected as described in EN 60730-1:2011, H.27.1.1.2 with the outputs energised to simulate normal operation (contacts of the internal switching elements closed).

Where current limitation techniques are used the power supply to the valve proving system shall not limit the current. A short-circuit is applied between the shut-off valve terminals of the valve proving system by closing the switch. The test is terminated if there is no current flow through the switch, or after one hour.

1 Scope
This European Standard specifies safety, constructional and performance requirements of valve-proving
systems, hereafter referred to as VPS, intended for use with gas burners and gas-burning appliances. It also
describes the test procedures for checking compliance with these requirements and provides information
necessary for the purchaser and user.
This European Standard applies to all types of VPS which are used for the automatic detection of leakage in a
gas burner section having at least two valves designed in accordance with EN 161 and which give a signal if
the leakage of one of the valves exceeds the detection limit.
This European Standard applies to VPSs with a declared maximum working pressure up to and including
st nd rd
500 kPa for use in systems using fuel gases of the 1 , 2 or 3 families.
This European Standard does not apply to VPSs for use in explosive atmospheres.
Provisions for production control are not part of this European Standard.

6.5 Electronic parts of the control
6.5.1 General
Shall be according to EN 13611:2007+A2:2011, 6.5.1 with the following addition:
The construction of any additional functions included in the valve proving system, programming unit or flame
detector device for which no provisions exist in this standard, shall be such that they do not degrade the safe
and correct operation of the valve proving system.
Measures shall be taken to protect against failure of two (or more) switching elements, due to a common
cause, by an external short circuit that would prevent the valve proving system from performing a safety
shutdown.
Acceptable methods are current limitation, overcurrent protection device or internal fault detecting functions.
The suitability of measures to maintain the capability to interrupt the energization of the shut-off valve
terminals by means of at least one switching element or a non-replaceable overcurrent protection device has
been interrupted shall be verified by the following test.
The shut-off valve terminals of the valve proving system are connected to a switch that is intended to switch
the short circuit current. With this switch opened, the valve proving system is connected as described in
IEC 60730-1, H.27.1.1.2 with the outputs energized to simulate normal operation (contacts of the internal
switching elements closed).
Where overcurrent protection device are used as the protective measure the power supply to the valve
proving system shall have the capability of supplying an inrush current of at least 500 A. Where current
limitation techniques are used the power supply to the valve proving system shall not limit the current.
A short-circuit is applied between the shut-off valve terminals of the valve proving system by closing the
switch.
The test is terminated if there is no current flow through the switch, or after one hour.
If an overcurrent protection device is replaceable and has operated during the test it shall be replaced and the
test is repeated two more times by attempting to restart the valve proving system keeping the switch closed.
A second test procedure is conducted in the same way, with the switch closed prior to the first start-up
sequence; a second test sample can be used for this second test procedure.
If an internal fault detecting function of the valve proving system either opens the switching elements or
initiates a safety shut-down the test is repeated two times while maintaining the external short circuit by
attempting to restart the valve proving system.
Compliance is checked in accordance with IEC 60730-1, H.27.1.1.3 and Clause 15.
After the test at least one switching element of the valve proving system shall be able to de-energize the shut-
off valve terminals, or a non-replaceable overcurrent protection device has permanently interrupted the supply
to the shut-off valve terminals.
Designs where at least two relays are used as switching elements with independent contacts and in series
with a non-replaceable fuse (see Table E.1, h) with I < 0,6 · I , are conside
