Overview
EN 14286:2008, developed by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN), establishes the requirements for weldable rolled products made from aluminium and aluminium alloys intended for the construction of tanks used in the storage and transportation of dangerous goods. This standard applies specifically to hot or cold-rolled strip, sheet, and plate products with a thickness between 3.0 mm and 12.0 mm, serving as the wall material for tanks designed to contain substances such as gasoline and other liquid hydrocarbons.
EN 14286:2008 sets out essential technical conditions for inspection, delivery, mechanical properties, and dimensional tolerances, ensuring that these aluminium products meet the safety and performance expectations demanded by the transport and storage of hazardous materials.
Key Topics
- Application Range:
- Covers aluminium and aluminium alloy rolled products (strip, sheet, plate) with thickness from 3.0 mm up to and including 12.0 mm.
- Focuses on materials intended for tanks storing and transporting dangerous goods - notably liquid hydrocarbons.
- Inspection and Delivery:
- Defines technical criteria for inspection, delivery, and mechanical properties.
- Outlines requirements for surface quality, dimensional and form tolerances.
- Ordering and Product Specification:
- Details information to be provided in orders, such as reference to EN 14286, inspection document type, and any special mechanical or dimensional tolerances.
- Material Selection:
- Recommended alloys must comply with designated European standards for chemical composition.
- Consideration of material suitability based on the nature of dangerous goods is required.
- Quality Assurance:
- Manufacturers should maintain a quality management system, ideally compliant with EN ISO 9001.
- Quality control measures must ensure ongoing compliance with the standard’s requirements.
Applications
EN 14286:2008 is a vital standard for:
- Tank Manufacturers: Assuring the selection and procurement of suitable aluminium materials for the construction of road, rail, or stationary storage tanks used for hazardous goods.
- Engineering and Design: Providing clear material property specifications to support safe tank design and construction, aligned with regulatory and operational requirements for hazardous material containment.
- Material Suppliers: Guiding the production and certification of rolled aluminium products intended for the dangerous goods supply chain.
- Compliance and Inspection: Supporting inspection processes and certification of aluminium products to meet European and customer-specific standards.
Adhering to EN 14286:2008 helps companies verify that their aluminium tanks and materials are fit for purpose, contributing to the safe handling and transport of dangerous goods. It also facilitates international trade by harmonizing technical requirements for products across borders.
