LPG equipment and accessories - Transportable refillable LPG cylinders other than traditional welded and brazed steel cylinders - Periodic inspection

This European Standard specifies procedures for periodic inspection and testing, for transportable refillable LPG cylinders with a water capacity from 0,5 l up to and including 150 l.
This European Standard is applicable to the following:
-   welded steel LPG cylinders manufactured to an alternative design and construction, see EN 14140 or equivalent standard;
-   welded aluminium LPG cylinders, see EN 13110 or equivalent standard;
-   composite LPG cylinders, see EN 14427 or equivalent standard;
-   over-moulded cylinders designed and manufactured according to EN 1442 or EN 14140, see Annex F.
NOTE   The requirements of RID/ADR take precedence over those of this Standard in the case of cylinders complying with that regulation, including pi marked cylinders.
This European Standard does not apply to cylinders permanently installed in vehicles.

sub-group of OMC
part of a basic population, owned by one single owner
Note 1 to entry: A basic population is split into sub-groups, one per owner. If the whole basic population is owned

Modify bullet e) and g) as follows:
“e) The test pressure shall be held for the time necessary to inspect the cylinder and examine it for any
leak and/or other defects, but not less than 5 s.”
“g) Cylinders that do not leak or show any permanent visible distortion after the pressure has been
released shall be deemed to have passed this test. All other cylinders shall be set aside and examined by
a competent person.”
4 Modification to Clause F.1.1
Modify the 1st sentence as follows:
“This annex is applicable to over-moulded cylinders as defined in 3.6 and designed and manufactured in
