Overview

This European standard specifies the design, dimensions and technical requirements for connections and pipelines for storing potable water for inland navigation vessels. This European standard has been developed to specify hygienically perfect, standard pipelines and connections for the transfer and receipt of potable water on the supply side (bunker boats, onshore plant or similar) and the consumer side (inland navigation vessel). The connection consists of a pipe, a rapid coupling device both on the supply and consumer side with appropriate dummy couplings. This will allow simple handling and secure transfer of potable water. Using this standard will prevent unsuitable pipes being used on the supply side and dirt getting into the potable water bunker on the consumer side by using pipes without couplings in openings that are level with the deck. Dirt, micro-organisms and insects are prevented from penetrating by using dummy couplings on both sides. Necessary measures to prevent electrostatic charge and overfilling are not governed by the standard. National regulations apply to drinking water supply plants. The requirements of this European standard supplement these regulations. This European Standard has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 15 "Inland navigation vessels", the secretariat of which is held by DIN (Germany). The responsible German committee is Working Committee is NA 132-07-01 AA "FA Binnenschifffahrt, Wasserfahrzeuge, Hafenanlagen (BWH) und NA 132-07 FB" (Inland navigation, inland vessels, port facilities and Steering Committee of Section Inland Navigation Vessels) at DIN Standards Committee Shipbuilding and Marine Technology (NSMT).
