BS EN 50676 specifies general requirements for the construction, testing, and performance of electrically operated refrigerant fixed gas detection equipment in safety applications.
BS EN 50676 is applicable to equipment whose primary purpose is to provide an indication, alarm, and/or other output function to warn of the presence of refrigerant gases in an industrial or commercial environment and, in some cases, to initiate automatic or manual protective actions. It is applicable to equipment in which the sensor automatically generates an electrical signal when gas is present.
Note: BS EN 50676 does not apply to the following gas detection equipment:
Note: BS EN 50676 does not specify requirements for portable locating leak detectors for refrigerant application as already covered by EN 14624:2012.
BS EN 50676 on electrical equipment for detection of refrigerant gases is applicable to:
BS EN 50676 specifies test methods and performance requirements for all electrical equipment used for gas detection in refrigerant applications as defined in EN 378-1:2016 by means of concentration measurement.
BS EN 50676 helps you to improve the performance of refrigerant gas detection equipment by providing performance requirements and BS EN 50676 covers all refrigerant gases.
BS EN 50676 helps you in the design of safe electrical equipment for the detection of refrigerant gases, allowing you to meet the high safety standards of refrigerant gas detection equipment for safety applications.EN 50676
