Full title and description

STB BS ISO 22968-2010 — Forced draught oil burners. This standard specifies terminology, test procedures and general construction and operational requirements for automatic forced-draught oil burners and associated control and safety devices for liquid fuels of viscosity roughly 1.6 to 6 mm2/s (cSt) at 20 °C.

Abstract

ISO 22968:2010 covers automatic oil burners fitted with a combustion air fan (forced-draught), including single burners and the oil operation mode of dual‑fuel burners, and sets out test methods, performance and safety requirements. It excludes burners for direct‑fired high‑temperature processes (combustion-chamber wall temperature greater than 750 °C or heat transfer medium temperature greater than 500 °C).

Scope

The standard applies to automatic forced‑draught oil burners intended for appliances using liquid fuels within the specified viscosity range (approx. 1.6–6 cSt at 20 °C). It defines terminology, performance and test procedures, safety and control-device requirements, and applicability to single and dual‑fuel burners (when operating on oil). It explicitly excludes burners used in certain direct‑fired processes or systems where combustion-chamber or heat-transfer-medium temperatures exceed the stated limits.

Key topics and requirements

• Definitions and standard terminology for forced‑draught oil burners.
• Constructional and operational requirements for burners and integral components (fans, atomizers/nozzles, ignition and safety devices).
• Specified test procedures for performance, safety interlocks and emissions-related checks under defined conditions.
• Requirements for single‑fuel and dual‑fuel burner oil operation modes and how the oil function should be treated.
• Exclusions and limits for direct‑fired high‑temperature applications (chamber wall temperature and heat‑transfer medium thresholds).

Typical use and users

Manufacturers of industrial and commercial oil burners, boiler and heating‑appliance designers, test laboratories, certification bodies, safety engineers, procurement teams and national standards/adoption committees use this standard to design, test and certify forced‑draught oil burners and to harmonize requirements across markets.

Related standards

Standards and documents commonly cited alongside ISO 22968 include standards for burner components and testing (for example other ISO and EN burner standards such as EN 267 and related national adoptions) and ISO 22967 for aspects of dual‑fuel burner operation. Users should consult relevant regional/adopted versions (e.g., BS ISO editions or national adoptions) for local regulatory alignment.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 22968:2010 (adopted in national catalogs) is the international standard that defines terminology, requirements and test procedures for automatic forced‑draught oil burners.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers construction, operation, control and safety-device requirements and test methods for forced‑draught oil burners using liquid fuels in the approximate viscosity range 1.6–6 cSt at 20 °C, and specifies exclusions for certain high‑temperature direct‑fired applications.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Burner and boiler manufacturers, test and certification laboratories, safety and compliance engineers, and standards/adoption bodies implementing national versions (e.g., BS or other national adoptions).

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: ISO 22968:2010 is published and listed as the 2010 edition; the ISO lifecycle shows it as published/confirmed at review. Users should check national standards catalogs for any more recent amendments or regional superseding documents.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: It is managed under ISO/TC 109 (burners and related equipment) and is related to other ISO/EN burner standards and project work addressing burner types and fuel modes (for example ISO 22967 and other regional burner standards).

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Forced draught, oil burner, liquid fuels, combustion air fan, burner testing, safety devices, burner controls, dual‑fuel (oil mode), ISO 22968.
