EN 12262:1998 - Rotodynamic pumps - Technical documents (overview)

EN 12262:1998 (published by CEN) defines the framework for technical product documentation used when specifying, buying or delivering rotodynamic pumps. The standard establishes the required structure and content for documentation exchanged during enquiry, proposal and purchase-order phases and throughout contract execution for industrial deliveries. It is also adopted as national variants (e.g., SIST EN 12262:2000).

Key topics and requirements

This standard focuses on the organization and content of pump-related technical documents rather than on hydraulic performance or mechanical design details. Key topics include:

  • Terminology: standardization of terms and definitions to ensure consistent interpretation of pump requirements across suppliers and purchasers.
  • Delivery range: clear description of what is included in the supply (equipment, spares, accessories, documentation, tests) to avoid contractual ambiguity.
  • Document layout: recommended structure and presentation of technical documents used in enquiries, proposals and purchase orders (consistent headings, scope statements, and reference information).
  • Contract execution: guidance on documentation needed during the contract lifecycle - from initial enquiry through proposal, order confirmation and delivery documentation.
  • Traceability and references: ensuring documents refer to applicable standards, drawings and specifications to support conformity and inspection.

(Note: EN 12262 sets documentation requirements and does not replace pump performance or test standards.)

Practical applications

EN 12262 is useful wherever clear, standardized pump documentation reduces risk, misunderstandings and disputes in industrial procurement and project execution. Typical applications:

  • Preparing enquiries and tender packages for rotodynamic pump procurement
  • Structuring supplier proposals and clarifying the delivery range (what is supplied)
  • Creating purchase orders and contract documents that reference consistent terminology and document layout
  • Managing contract documentation during manufacture, testing and delivery to ensure traceability and completeness

Who uses this standard

  • Pump manufacturers and suppliers preparing proposals and delivery documentation
  • Procurement and project engineers specifying pump requirements and creating tenders
  • Quality assurance and inspection teams verifying documentation completeness
  • Contract managers and technical writers ensuring clarity and consistency in contracts and datasheets
  • Maintenance and operations teams relying on delivered documentation for installation and servicing

Related standards

EN 12262 complements other CEN/ISO standards that address pump performance, testing and safety by standardizing the documentation needed to specify and deliver rotodynamic pumps. For complete compliance, users typically apply EN 12262 together with the relevant pump performance and test standards applicable to their project.
