Safety and control devices for oil burners and oil-burning appliances — Particular requirements — Part 1: Automatic and semi-automatic valves

ISO 23553-1:2014 specifies safety, constructional and performance requirements and testing of automatic and semi-automatic valves for oil.

It applies to automatic and semi-automatic valves which are:

-normally closed;

-used in combustion plants to interrupt the oil flow with or without delay on closing;

-for use with oil types (e.g. middle distillate fuel oil, crude oil, heavy fuel oil or kerosene) without gasoline;

-for use on burners or in appliances using oil;

-directly or indirectly operated, electrically or by mechanical or hydraulic means;

-fitted with or without closed-position indicator switches.

ISO 23553-1:2014 covers type testing only.
