The devices are usually composed by - sensor, - evaluation device, - closure device. Overfill prevention devices intended to be used in/with underground and/or above ground, non-pressurized, static tanks designed for liquid fuels. Together with DIN EN 13616-2 and DIN EN 16657, this document will replace EN 13616:2004. This standard differs from DIN EN 13616:2004-09 and DIN EN 13616 Corrigendum 1:2006 04 as follows: a) EN 13616:2004 has been subdivided into the following parts, under the general title "Overfill prevention devices for static tanks for liquid fuels": Part 1: Overfill prevention devices with closure device, Part 2: Overfill prevention devices without closure device b) the parameters regarding explosion safety have been updated; c) Annex C concerning environmental aspects has been added; d) the requirements for the equipment of the overfill prevention devices without closure device on static tanks are specified in EN 13616-2; e) the requirements for the equipment of the overfill prevention devices without closure device on tank vehicles are specified in EN 16657, "Tanks for the transport of dangerous goods - Transport tank equipment for overfill prevention devices for static tanks". The European Standard has been prepared by CEN/TC 393/WG 3 "Overfill prevention devices for static tanks for liquid petroleum fuels" (secretariat: AFNOR, France). The responsible German committee is Working Committee NA 104-02-04 AA "Überfüllsicherungen und Füllstandsanzeiger" ("Overfill prevention devices and tank content gauges") at DIN Standards Committee Tank Installations (NATank).
