Thermoplastic and flexible metal pipework for underground installation at petrol filling stations
This document specifies requirements for underground pipework systems used to transfer liquid fuels and their vapours at petrol filling stations. Minimum performance requirements covering fitness for purpose, safety and environmental protection are given.
This document is applicable to pipework made from thermoplastics, which can include some degree of reinforcement, and to flexible metal pipework. It does not apply to fibre reinforced thermosets, commonly referred to as glass fibre reinforced plastic (GRP), nor to rigid metals.
This document is applicable to:
- delivery pipes from tanks to dispensers, including positive pressure, vacuum suction and siphon modes;
- fill pipes from road tankers to tanks;
- vapour recovery and vent pipework;
- pipework for secondary containment;
- fittings.
It does not apply to pipework for use with liquefied petroleum gas.

Cevovodi iz kovinskih gibljivih cevi in cevi iz plastomerov za podzemne napeljave za bencinske servise
Ta dokument določa zahteve za podzemne cevovodne sisteme, ki se uporabljajo za prenos tekočih goriv in njihovih hlapov na bencinskih črpalkah. Podane so minimalne zahteve glede zmogljivosti, ki zajemajo primernost za namen, varnost in varstvo okolja.
Ta dokument se nanaša na cevovode iz termoplastov, ki lahko vključujejo določeno stopnjo ojačitve, in na prilagodljive kovinske cevovode. Ne velja za vlakno ojačane termosete, običajno imenovane plastična masa ojačana s steklenimi vlakni (GRP), niti za toge kovine.
Ta dokument se uporablja za:
- cevi za dostavo od rezervoarjev do razdelilnikov, vključno z načini pozitivnega tlaka, vakuumskega sesanja in sifona;
- cevi za polnjenje od cestnih cistern do rezervoarjev;
- cevovode za vračanje hlapov in odzračevalne cevovode;
- cevovode za sekundarno zadrževanje;
- spoje.
Ne velja za cevovode za uporabo s utekočinjenim naftnim plinom.

Overview
EN 14125:2025/prA1 is a draft European Standard developed by CEN’s Technical Committee CEN/TC 393. It specifies the requirements for thermoplastic and flexible metal pipework systems designed for underground installation at petrol filling stations. The standard is focused on supporting the transfer of liquid fuels and their vapours, highlighting minimum performance criteria to ensure fitness for purpose, safety, and environmental protection. This document is critical for manufacturers, installers, and operators seeking compliance and best practices in fuel station infrastructure.
Key Topics
Scope and Applicability
The standard applies specifically to underground pipework composed of thermoplastics (which may include reinforcement) and flexible metal.
It covers:- Delivery pipes from tanks to dispensers (positive pressure, vacuum suction, and siphon modes)
- Fill pipes used for transferring fuel from road tankers to storage tanks
- Vapour recovery and vent pipework systems
- Pipework for secondary containment
- Pipework fittings
The standard excludes:
- Fibre reinforced thermosets, such as GRP (glass fibre reinforced plastic)
- Rigid metal pipes
- Pipe systems designed for liquefied petroleum gas
Performance Requirements
- Minimum criteria for durability and environmental protection
- Safety protocols to prevent leaks, contamination, and accidents
- Details on testing procedures, such as the crush test and high temperature crush test
Modifications in prA1
- Clarification of “Crush test” requirements, specifying recovery performance for pipes
- Adjustments to high temperature crush test applicability for fittings
Applications
Petrol Filling Stations
EN 14125:2025/prA1 serves as a foundation for the design and installation of pipework systems used in underground fuel transfer, ensuring consistent performance and regulatory compliance throughout Europe.Environmental Protection
By setting standards for materials and installation practices, the document directly contributes to the reduction of environmental risks associated with underground storage and distribution of liquid fuels.Health and Safety
The standard’s provisions aim to prevent fuel leaks and vapour emissions, protecting both workers and the public from potential health hazards and fire risks.Infrastructure Modernisation
Guidance provided by EN 14125:2025/prA1 supports the upgrading of existing fuel station pipework to more sustainable and robust materials, contributing to the longevity and resilience of critical infrastructure.
