Overview
EN 13922:2020/prA1 - published by CEN - defines minimum requirements for overfill prevention systems (OPS) used on tanks for the transport of dangerous goods. The standard covers OPS for liquid fuels with a flash point up to (but not exceeding) 100 °C, and explicitly excludes liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). The amendment prA1 (drafted November 2021) updates normative references and the Safety Integrity Level (SIL) clause; note that the amendment was submitted to CEN enquiry and modifies EN 13922:2020.
Key topics
- Functions: Required operational roles of an overfill prevention system (e.g., detection and prevention of tank overfilling during loading).
- Major components: System elements that make up an OPS (sensors, shut-off devices, indicators, interfaces to filling equipment) and their expected roles.
- Characteristics: Performance and design characteristics needed to meet minimum safety and reliability goals for liquid fuel operations.
- Test methods: Procedures and acceptance criteria for verifying correct operation, durability and reliability of OPS components and complete systems.
- Scope limits: Applicable to liquid fuels with flash point ≤ 100 °C; LPG excluded. The standard notes that vapour path detection is not part of the standard but may be provided as an option.
- Normative reference change (prA1): EN 61511-1 is removed from Clause 2 and added to the bibliography; references to EN 61511-1 in the SIL clause are deleted by the amendment.
Applications
- Design, selection and installation of overfill prevention systems on road tankers, trailers and vehicles transporting liquid fuels.
- Acceptance testing and periodic verification by maintenance teams and test laboratories.
- Specification and procurement of OPS equipment by tanker manufacturers, fleet operators and depot operators.
- Risk-reduction measures to prevent spills, fire hazards and environmental contamination during bulk fuel loading operations.
Who should use this standard
- Tank and vehicle manufacturers (service equipment designers)
- Fleet operators and transport companies handling liquid fuels
- Safety and compliance engineers, inspectors and certifying bodies
- Test houses and maintenance organizations performing verification and performance tests
- Regulatory authorities and technical committees developing vehicle and transport safety rules
Related standards
- EN 13922:2020 (base standard)
- EN 13922:2020/prA1 (draft amendment detailing normative reference and SIL changes)
- EN 61511-1 (moved to bibliography by prA1) - relevant for functional safety considerations
Using EN 13922:2020/prA1 helps organizations implement standardized, testable overfill prevention controls that reduce spill risk and improve transport safety for liquid fuels.
