1 Scope
This European Standard is a product standard for clay/ceramic flue liners operating
under wet conditions with solid walls or walls with vertical perforations for use
in the construction of multiwall chimneys and flue pipes which serve to convey products
of combustion from fireplaces or heating appliances to the outside atmosphere by negative
or positive pressure. It includes the flue liners used for domestic and industrial
chimneys which are not structurally independent (free-standing). This European Standard
specifies the performance requirements for factory made flue liners and chimney fittings.
Testing including thermal testing with or without insulation, marking and inspection
are covered by this standard. Flue liners that are specified to this standard will
meet the requirements of EN 1457‑1 with the same working temperature, pressure, designation and soot fire resistance.
