This European Standard describes the basic design of a pipe-in-pipe diverter and specifies the testing requirements and the application of explosion diverters.

This European Standard covers:

• a test method for assessing the efficacy of explosion diverters;

• design rules for a type of pipe-in-pipe diverter;

• demands to venting device on diverter;

• installation requirements;

• maintenance requirements;
