EN 126:2004 (E)4IntroductionThis standard is a particular standard for specific controls for gas burners and gas burning appliances whichcites EN 13611 "Safety and control devices for gas burners and gas-burning appliances - Generalrequirements" where ever possible. This standard supplements or modifies the corresponding clauses ofEN 13611. The construction and performance requirements are as far as applicable in total conformity withEN 13611.Since a multifunctional control is a combination of at least two control functions for which, also specificrequirements in standards exist, these specific requirements are part of this standard if they are relevant in amultifunctional control.SIST EN 126:2004
