Overview
EN 13081:2008/FprA1 is a CEN draft amendment to the European standard EN 13081 that covers service equipment for tanks used in the transport of dangerous goods, specifically the vapour collection adaptor and coupler. The amendment clarifies terminology and adds normative specifications for how adaptors and couplers must open, plus precise interlock requirements. This standard is aimed at improving safe vapour recovery and connection integrity on vehicle-mounted tanks and other transport tanks.
Key Topics and Requirements
- Scope and subject: Service equipment for tanks - vapour collection adaptor and coupler used in transport of dangerous goods.
- New terminology: Addition of the term probe - defined as the device used to displace the obturator (poppet) of the adaptor.
- Adaptor opening (Annex A):
- Adaptor shall be opened by axial displacement of the coupler probe when mated.
- Sharp edges shall be removed to reduce damage and leakage risk.
- Key figure text updated to reference the volume occupied by the coupler probe when mated.
- Coupler opening (Annex B):
- Coupler shall be opened by means other than axial displacement of the coupler probe (i.e., different actuation principle).
- Sharp edges shall be removed.
- Key figure text updated to reference the volume occupied by the probe.
- Interlock (Annex C / C.1):
- Interlock switch-over point required at mid-travel ± 3.5 mm.
- Radial gap between adaptor and actuator interlock vane shall be no more than 5 mm.
- Tolerance indications updated to (+2.0 / -0 mm).
Applications and Who Uses It
- Manufacturers of vapour collection adaptors and couplers - for design and conformity to European requirements.
- Tank and vehicle builders - to select compatible service equipment for transport tanks.
- Operators and fleet maintenance teams - for safe installation, inspection, and maintenance procedures.
- Regulatory authorities and conformity assessors - for certification and field verification.
- Testing laboratories and quality engineers - to test opening mechanisms, interlocks and dimensional compliance.
Related standards (context)
- EN 13081 integrates with broader standards for transport tanks and fittings (ICS: 13.300; 23.020.20; 23.040.60). Users should consider complementary standards covering tank construction, flanges, couplings and overall transport of dangerous goods when implementing vapour collection systems.
