This document specifies the safety requirements for combustion and fuel handling systems that are part of industrial furnaces and associated processing equipment (TPE), including single and multiple burner systems in thermoprocessing equipment and machines.


NOTE            The general safety requirements common to TPE are provided in ISO 13577-1:2016. ISO 13577-1:2016, Annex B also includes a list of processes for which industrial furnaces and heating systems covered by the ISO 13577 series are used.


This document deals with significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to combustion and fuel handling systems as listed in Annex A, when used as intended and under the conditions for use as described in the instruction handbook.


This document covers:


—     fuel pipework downstream of and including the manual isolating valve;


—     combustion air supply (including oxygen and oxygen enriched combustion air) and flue gas system;
