Reversible spatial birth-death processes are studied with simultaneous jumps of multi-components. A relationship is established between (i) a product-form solution, (ii) a partial symmetry condition on the jump rates and (iii) a solution of a deterministic concentration equation. Applications studied are reversible networks of queues with batch services and blocking and clustering processes such as those found in polymerization chemistry. As illustrated by examples, known results are hereby unified and extended. An expectation interpretation of the transition rates is included.
