European foreword

This document (prEN 13776:2022) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 286 “Liquefied

petroleum gas equipment and accessories”, the secretariat of which is held by NSAI.

This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 13776:2013.

In comparison with the previous edition, the following technical modifications have been made:

— Removal of the previous Annex A giving a table of LPG mixtures;

— A new Annex A was added giving recommendations on the personal protection equipment;

— Removal of the Annex B on the Environmental checklist, addition of a reference to CEN/TS 16765;

— Updating of the Introduction,

— A requirement was added to Clause 5.1.3 that all electrical equipment required for the filling process

shall be suitable for the hazardous zone according to ATEX,

— Both the filling and the discharge requirements were harmonized with the ones for rail tanker in

EN 14841;

— References and clarifications concerning ADR [4] were added to improve clarity.

This document will be submitted for reference in
— the RID and/or
— the technical annexes of the ADR [4].

NOTE These regulations take precedence over any clause of this document. It is emphasized that RID/ADR are

being revised regularly at intervals of two years which may lead to temporary non-compliances with the clauses of

Introduction

This document calls for the use of substances and procedures that can be injurious to health if adequate

precautions are not taken. It refers only to technical suitability and does not absolve the user from legal

obligations relating to health and safety at any stage.

The frequencies of the different types of pressure vessel inspection are given by the relevant international

regulations concerning the transport of dangerous goods.

Protection of the environment is a key political issue in Europe and elsewhere. For CEN/TC 286 this is

covered in CEN/TS 16765 [1], and this Technical Specification should be read in conjunction with this

document. CEN/TS 16765 provides guidance on the environmental aspects to be considered regarding

equipment and accessories produced for the LPG industry and the following is addressed:

a) design;
b) manufacture;
c) packaging;
d) use and operation; and
e) disposal.

It is recommended that companies using this document develop an environmental management policy.

For guidance, see EN ISO 14001 [2].

It has been assumed in the drafting of this document that the execution of its provisions is entrusted to

appropriately qualified and experienced people.
All pressures are gauge pressures unless otherwise stated.

NOTE This document requires measurement of material properties, dimensions and pressures. All such

measurements are subject to a degree of uncertainty due to tolerances in measuring equipment etc. It might be

beneficial to refer to the leaflet “measurement uncertainty leaflet” SP INFO 2000 27 [3].
