EN 14025:2013/FprA1

Tanks for the transport of dangerous goods - Metallic pressure tanks - Design and construction

This European Standard specifies the minimum requirements for the design and construction of metallic pressure tanks having a maximum working or test pressure exceeding 50 kPa (0,5 bar), for the transport of dangerous goods by road and rail and sea. This European Standard includes requirements for openings,closures and structural equipment; it does not cover requirements of service equipment. For tanks for the
transport of cryogenic liquids, EN 13530-1 and EN 13530-2 apply.
NOTE 1 Design and construction of pressure tanks according to the scope of this European Standard are primarily subject to the requirements of RID/ADR, 6.8.2.1, 6.8.3.1 and 6.8.5, as relevant. In addition, the relevant requirements of RID/ADR, columns 12 and 13 of Table A to chapter 3.2, 4.3 and 6.8.2.4 apply. For the structural equipment subsections 6.8.2.2 and 6.8.3.2 apply, as relevant. The definitions of RID/ADR 1.2.1 are referred to. For portable tanks see also Chapter 4.2 and Sections 6.7.2 and 6.7.3 of RID and ADR. In addition, the relevant requirements of RID/ADR, columns 10 and 11 of Table A to Chapter 3.2, 4.2, 6.7.2 and 6.7.3 apply. The paragraph numbers above relate to the 2013 issue of RID/ADR which are subject to regular revisions. This can lead to temporary non-compliances with EN 14025. It is
important to know that requirements of RID/ADR take precedence over any clause of this standard.
NOTE 2 This standard is applicable to liquefied gases including LPG, however for a dedicated LPG standard see EN 12493.
If not otherwise specified, provisions which take up the whole width of the page apply to all kind of tanks.
Provisions contained in a single column apply only to:
road and rail pressure tanks according to RID/ADR chapter 6.8 (left-hand column); ortable tanks according to RID/ADR chapter 6.7 right-hand column).

Overview

EN 14025:2013/FprA1 is a European Standard developed by CEN that specifies the minimum requirements for the design and construction of metallic pressure tanks intended for the transport of dangerous goods. The scope encompasses tanks with a maximum working or test pressure greater than 50 kPa (0.5 bar) used in road, rail, and sea transport. The goal of this standard is to ensure safe and reliable containment of hazardous materials, protect the environment, and enhance safety in the transport sector by defining robust criteria for the construction and structural integrity of these tanks.

This standard applies to metallic tanks carrying substances other than cryogenic liquids (covered by EN 13530-1 and EN 13530-2) or liquefied petroleum gas (covered by EN 12493). It addresses design considerations, structural equipment, and explosion resistance, while requirements for service equipment are outside its scope.

Key Topics

• Design and Construction Requirements

  • Defines parameters for material selection and tank fabrication
  • Sets out requirements for openings, closures, and structural equipment to ensure safety and functionality

• Pressure Resistance

  • Tanks must withstand both operational and test pressures exceeding 50 kPa (0.5 bar)
  • Detailed calculation methods for external and explosion pressures

• Explosion Pressure Shock Resistance

  • New Annex B outlines criteria for tanks designed to resist explosion pressure shock, including acceptable permanent deformations and the evaluation of design through testing or calculation
  • Requirements for wall thickness and partition integrity are specified based on maximum explosion pressure

• Regulatory Alignment

  • Closely linked with RID/ADR regulations for the international transport of dangerous goods by road and rail
  • Provides guidance for compliance with specific clauses and columns of these transport regulations

Applications

EN 14025:2013/FprA1 is applied across a variety of high-risk sectors that require the secure transport of hazardous materials:

• Road and Rail Transportation

  • Standard used for the design and approval of tankers and pressure vessels mounted on vehicles transporting dangerous goods, ensuring compliance with RID/ADR chapters 6.7 and 6.8

• Maritime Shipping

  • Covers pressure tanks transported by sea, contributing to international maritime safety standards for dangerous goods

• Industrial and Chemical Logistics

  • Essential for companies designing, manufacturing, or operating tanks for the bulk movement of chemicals, petroleum products, and industrial gases

By following EN 14025, manufacturers, operators, and safety inspectors help minimize the risks of leaks, explosions, and environmental contamination during the transit of hazardous materials.

Related Standards

To ensure comprehensive compliance and safety, organizations using EN 14025:2013/FprA1 should also be aware of these related standards:

• EN 13530-1 & EN 13530-2: For the transport of cryogenic liquids in metallic pressure tanks
• EN 12493: For dedicated LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) transport tanks
• RID/ADR Regulations: International regulations governing the transport of dangerous goods by road and rail, including chapters 3.2, 4.2, 4.3, 6.7, and 6.8
• EN 14460: Explosion resistant equipment, referenced regarding explosion shock resistance in metallic tanks

Adhering to EN 14025:2013/FprA1 and its related standards strengthens industry best practices, supports compliance with European and international safety regulations, and ultimately improves the safety and efficiency of hazardous goods transportation.
