DIN Standards Committee Pressurized Gas Installations

Overview

This European Standard has been prepared by CEN/TC 286/WG 7 "Operational requirements – Transportable LPG cylinders and static LPG tanks" (secretariat: AFNOR, France). Working Committee NA 016-00-06 AA "Flüssiggas-Geräte und Ausrüstung; Spiegelausschuss zu CEN/TC 286" ("Liquefied petroleum gas equipment and accessories; Mirror Committee of CEN/TC 286") at DIN Standards Committee Pressurized Gas Installations (NDG) collaborated in preparation of the standard. The main objective of the periodic inspection of transportable refillable cylinders for liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is to allow the cylinders to be used again for a further period after the tests have been completed. This standard specifies procedures for periodic inspection and testing, for transportable refillable LPG cylinders with a water capacity from 0,5 l up to and including 150 l. This European Standard is applicable to the following: - welded steel LPG cylinders manufactured to an alternative design and construction, see EN 14140 or equivalent standard; - welded aluminium LPG cylinders, see EN 13110 or equivalent standard; - composite LPG cylinders, see EN 14427 or equivalent standard; - over-moulded cylinders designed and manufactured according to EN 1442 or EN 14140, see Annex F. This European Standard does not apply to cylinders permanently installed in vehicles. Together with EN 1440:2016, it will replace EN 1440:2008+A1:2012.
