Scope:

This Standard applies to newly produced automatic gas ignition systems (see Clause 3) and components thereof other than types utilizing low, extra low, or high voltages, constructed entirely of new, unused parts and materials. Ensure that an automatic gas ignition system performs the following functions:

  1. ignite the gas at the main burner(s);
  2. prove the presence of the ignition means, the main burner flame, or both; and
  3. automatically act to shut off the gas supply to the main burner(s), or to the pilot burner(s) and the main burner(s), when the supervised flame or ignition means is not proved.

Project need:

To reaffirm the current version of the standard within the five year cycle.
