International standards for petrol equipment

Until recently, life on the planet without the use of oil seemed absolutely impossible and most of the technologies were based on fuel, moreover, the cosmetic industry includes the active use of this chemical element. However, times are changing and technology is always looking for alternatives. As a result, the requirements for the fuel market are significantly increasing in order for it to remain relevant and the products that are turned around on it could be produced and used in bulk. Today, various levels of standardization create a large number of regulations in order for manufacturers and other players in this market to comply with all norms and requirements related to both the safety of employees who come into contact with fuel equipment and consumer safety. Today, the fuel sector is one of those areas that cannot be called localized and it has a completely global spread (as a result of interaction between organizations located in different countries). That is why the unification of the regulatory and legal system makes it possible to significantly simplify these interaction processes. Today we will introduce you to some of the latest international standards for fuel equipment.

Petrol filling stations - Part 2: Safety requirements for construction and performance of safe breaks for use on metering pumps and dispensers

EN 13617-2: 2021

The quality of the installation and, in general, the quality of the equipment used at the fuel stations has a significant impact on the final financial results. After all, the leakage of this or that element in a small amount at the final count at the end of a certain period can bring a certain amount of losses. Moreover, not all equipment produced in one part of the planet can be used in another country. To regulate these issues, such international standards as EN 13617-2: 2021 come to the rescue.

This document specifies safety requirements for the construction and performance of safe breaks to be fitted to metering pumps and dispensers installed at filling stations and used to dispense liquid fuels and aqueous urea solution into the tanks of motor vehicles, boats and light aircraft and into portable containers at flow rates up to 200 l min − 1. This document applies to fuels of subdivision Group IIA according to EN ISO / IEC 80079-20-1 and also aqueous urea solution according to ISO 22241-1.

The requirements apply to safe breaks at ambient temperatures from -20 ° C to +40 ° C with the possibility for an extended temperature range. This document pays particular attention to electrical, mechanical and hydraulic characteristics of, and electrical equipment incorporated within or mounted on, the safe break. This document applies mainly to hazards related to the ignition of liquid fuels being dispensed or their vapor. This document also addresses electrical and mechanical hazards. This document does not apply to equipment dispensing compressed or liquefied gases.

Since there are a large number of types of fuel at filling stations, it should be clearly understood under which of the types of fuel one or another international standard is being implemented. If you delve into the annotations for each document, you can see that almost each of them has technical amendments regarding implementation and adaptation. This is why you need to be aware of the regulatory requirements of your specific business in order to find the right international standard.

Petrol filling stations - Part 1: Safety requirements for construction and performance of metering pumps, dispensers and remote pumping units

EN 13617-1: 2021

Security issues have always been, are and will be relevant in any category as a business activity as a social activity. Since the topic of human health and safety of life always comes to the fore, overshadowing the issues of financial results, it is necessary to understand that with a well-built system, first of all, the focus is on the issues of safe functioning of each stage and element of the entire industrial system. Today, safety issues for the design of equipment in the fuel industry are regulated by such an international standard as EN 13617-1: 2021.

This document applies to metering pumps, dispensers and remote pumping units to be installed at liquid fuel filling stations, designed to dispense flammable liquid fuels into the tanks of motor vehicles, boats and light aircraft and into portable containers at flow rates up to 200 l min − 1, and intended for use and storage at ambient temperatures between −20 ° C and +40 ° C.

This document deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to metering pumps, dispensers and remote pumping units, when they are used as intended and under the conditions foreseeable by the manufacturer (see Clause 4).

This document gives health and safety related requirements for the selection, construction and performance of the equipment. This document does not specify a required performance level, PLr, according to EN ISO 13849-1. This document does not deal with noise and with hazards related to transportation and installation.

This document does not include any requirements for metering performance.

Vapor recovery efficiency rates are not considered within this document. Fuels other than the ones of subdivision Group IIA according to EN ISO / IEC 80079-20-1: 2019 are excluded from this document. This document does not apply to equipment for use with liquefied or compressed gases.

This document does not cover the installation of the emergency stop provisions for the liquid fuel filling station. This document is not applicable to metering pumps, dispensers and remote pumping units, which are manufactured before the date of publication of this document by CEN.

Annotation to this international standard is a kind of help in the selection of related documents that can regulate the rules for other types of fuel. If you are interested in a wider number of international standards specifically for a given branch of human activity or for electrical equipment of large-scale production, you can follow the link to our website for a list of all available documents.

Petrol filling stations - Part 3: Safety requirements for construction and performance of shear valves

EN 13617-3: 2021

When forming the regulatory framework for large-scale industrial processes, first of all, much attention is paid to large-scale forecasting and assessment of expected financial results. However, it should be understood that large equipment consists of small parts such as valves. Adjusting the work of even such small parts can significantly improve the performance indicators of the activities carried out. The international standard that prescribes norms and recommendations for organizing valve-related processes in the fuel industry is EN 13617-3: 2021.

This document specifies safety and environmental requirements for the construction and performance of shear valves to be fitted to metering pumps, dispensers, and / or satellite delivery systems installed at petrol filling stations and used to dispense liquid fuels and aqueous urea solution into the tanks of motor vehicles, boats and light aircraft and into portable containers at flow rates up to 200 l min − 1.

This document applies to fuels and their vapors of subdivision Group IIA according to EN ISO / IEC 80079-20-1 and also aqueous urea solution according to ISO 22241-1.

The requirements apply to shear valves at ambient temperatures from -20 ° C to +40 ° C with the possibility for an extended temperature range. This document pays particular attention to mechanical and hydraulic characteristics.

This document does not apply to equipment dispensing compressed or liquefied gases.

The fuel industry is one of the most high-risk, not only because this element has a certain financial tie to various currencies and affects the world economy, but also the risks associated with physical chemical processes are more likely to occur. That is why the process of temperature regulation and heating of surfaces interacting with fuel must be clearly regulated and controlled.

Metallic industrial piping - Part 5: Inspection and testing

EN 13480-5: 2017 / A2: 2021

Test methods are one of the very first stages in the formation of norms and requirements for the functioning of a particular system. Today, whole groups are being created that control the ongoing production processes, make certain conclusions, recommendations, or certain requirements for a complete restructuring of existing activities. In order to prevent these moments from happening in your production, you should initially create a structure in accordance with the most relevant international requirements prescribed in such international documents as EN 13480-5: 2017 / A2: 2021.

This Part of this European Standard specifies the requirements for inspection and testing of industrial piping as defined in EN 13480-1: 2017 to be performed on individual spools or piping systems, including supports, designed in accordance with EN 13480-3: 2017 and EN 13480-6: 2017 (if applicable), and fabricated and installed in accordance with EN 13480-4: 2017.

Since this international document has a link to a related international standard, or rather in the same industry, we recommend that you also familiarize yourself with it. After all, perhaps one small aspect that distinguishes them can have a significant impact on the whole system.

Metallic industrial piping - Part 3: Design and calculation

EN 13480-3: 2017 / A4: 2021

Design issues in industrial processes are not associated with aesthetics.

technical qualities, but rather with forecasting and evaluating future results. Today, a large number of equipment made of metal requires clear regulation and standardization, because despite the long-term and high strength of this material, without an initial, high-quality installation, the final positive result is impossible. In order for this process to be carried out in the most efficient manner, such international standards as EN 13480-3: 2017 / A4: 2021 are being created.

This Part of this European Standard specifies the design and calculation of industrial metallic piping systems, including supports, covered by EN 13480.

It should be noted that this international document is not an independent international standard, but an addition to the already prescribed international norms and requirements in another international standard. That is why an independent purchase of this document will be appropriate if you already know how to have the aforementioned international standard, which the supplement refers to.

An integrated approach to the formation of the structure

Large-scale production, as well as business organizations that use large-sized equipment, require a large number of different standards that not only complement each other, but together create a very strong regulatory framework corresponding to the recommendations for the category of activity. Sometimes the selection of these international standards on their own is quite costly in terms of time and finance, moreover, if we are talking about the scale of a corporation, then it becomes necessary to acquire several absolutely identical standards for different divisions. In order to reduce the time for selecting international standards and minimize your financial costs, our team wants to offer you the option of subscribing to international documents, the terms of which you can familiarize yourself with in more detail by clicking on the link to our website.
