Check Valves EN 12334 and EN 14341 Update

In March this year I issued a Hot Spot advising that the following European Standards are currently under revision within CEN/TC 69/WG 6:

EN 12334:2001, Industrial valves — Cast iron check valves;

EN 14341:2006, Industrial valves — Steel check valves.

As the content of both standards is similar, CEN/TC 69/WG 6 proposed to consolidate both standards into one standard.

CEN/TC 69/WG 6 balloted CEN/TC 69 members for approval of the above mentioned proposal, following a vote of CEN/TC69 members this approval has now been agreed.

CEN/TC 69/WG 6 intends therefore to combine both standards and to keep the standard number of EN 12334 and withdraw EN 14341.

A copy of the intended combined standard prEN 12334 “Industrial valves — Steel and cast iron check valves” is available.
