Foreword
This European Standard (EN 14913:2005) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 286 “Liquified
petroleum gas equipment and accessories”, the secretariat of which is held by NSAI.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical
text or by endorsement, at the latest by June 2006, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at
the latest by June 2006.
This European Standard has been submitted for reference into the RID and/or in the technical annexes of the
ADR. Therefore the standards listed in the normative references and covering basic requirements of the
RID/ADR not addressed within the present European Standard are normative only when the standards
themselves are referred to in the RID and/or in the technical annexes of the ADR.
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following
countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic,
Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania,

Introduction
This European Standard calls for the use of substances and procedures that can be injurious to health if
adequate precautions are not taken. It refers only to technical suitability and does not absolve the user from
legal obligations relating to health and safety at any stage.
It has been assumed in the drafting of this European Standard that the execution of its provisions is entrusted
to appropriately qualified and experienced people. Where judgements are called for it has been assumed that
they are made by competent persons who have been trained specifically for the tasks.
1 Scope
This European Standard specifies the procedures to be adopted when checking transportable refillable
welded steel LPG cylinders of alternative design and construction (see EN 14140) before, during and after
filling.
This European Standard applies to cylinders of water capacity from 0,5 l up to and including 150 l.
This European Standard does not apply to cylinders permanently installed in vehicles, or to plant and filling
equipment.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this European Standard, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
LPG (liquefied petroleum gas)
mixture of predominantly butane or propane with traces of other hydrocarbon gases classified in accordance
with UN number 1965, hydrocarbon gases mixture, liquefied, NOS or UN number 1075, petroleum gases,
liquefied
NOTE In some countries, UN numbers 1011 and 1978 may also be designated LPG.

training, experience and resources is able to make objective judgements on the subject
3.4
cylinder
transportable refillable pressure receptacle with a water capacity from 0,5 l up to and including 150 l
3.5
filling ratio
ratio of the mass of gas introduced into a cylinder to the mass of water at 15 °C that would fill the same
cylinder fitted ready for use
NOTE See Annex A for filling ratio.
3.6
reference temperature
temperature used for the calculation of safe filling quantity
NOTE See Annex A for reference temperatures.
3.7
filled to a level
filled to a fixed level using an ullage device
3.8
filled by volume
filled with a fixed volume of LPG
3.9

filled with LPG using a weighing machine
3.10
filling plant
establishment where filling and checking of LPG cylinders takes place
3.11
periodic inspection
activities carried out at defined intervals, such as examining, measuring, testing or gauging the characteristics
of a cylinder, comparing these with specified requirements as defined in EN 14914 and marking to attest
conformity
3.12
tare weight
sum of the mass of the empty cylinder, the mass of the valve including a dip tube where fitted, and the mass
of all other parts that are permanently attached to the cylinder when it is being filled, e.g. fixed valve guard.
4 Segregation of cylinders prior to filling
4.1 General
Cylinders shall be checked and segregated into the categories specified in 4.2 to 4.4.
A flow diagram of the checks before, during and after filling is given in Annex B.
4.2 Cylinders suitable for filling
The cylinder shall be deemed suitable for filling if the following conditions apply:
a) the design code/specification is identifiable,
b) the tare indication and water capacity are marked,
c) the allowed quantity and identification of the product (butane, propane or mixtures thereof, the properties
of which were considered for the design of the cylinder) are indicated,
d) the cylinder is within the test date as determined from the marked manufacturer or periodic inspection
date
and
e) the cylinder does not have defects as described in 4.4. The inspection of the foot-ring for corrosion or
damage shall determine the need for a more thorough external visual examination of the cylinder base.
4.3 Cylinders for periodic inspection
A cylinder shall be set aside for periodic inspection in accordance with EN 14914 when at least one of the
following conditions apply:
a) the cylinder is out of test date;
b) the cylinder cannot be confirmed to be within test date.
4.4 Cylinders requiring further assessment
A cylinder with any of the following defects shall be set aside for further assessment, e.g. re-taring, disposal,
etc. (see Clause 5):
a) the indication of tare weight of a cylinder, filled by mass, is missing or illegible;
b) a cylinder is faulty or defective, e.g. dents, fire damage or damage to th
