The BS EN 12953 series specifies design, construction, equipment, operational and water treatment requirements drawn up with a view to ensuring the operating safety of new stationary shell boiler plants. It includes the requirements for the prevention of over-heating and inadmissible over-pressurization. Read more . . .

BS EN 12953 Shell boilers series supersedes BS 2790:1992 and BS 1894:1992.

You may obtain all parts of BS EN 12953 separately but they are inter-dependent. As such, the design and manufacture of shell boilers requires the application of more than one part in order for the requirements of the standard to be fulfilled.
