Introduction
This document is a type C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100.

This document is of relevance, in particular, for the following stakeholder groups representing the market

players with regard to machinery safety:
— machine manufacturers (small, medium and large enterprises);

— health and safety bodies (regulators, accident prevention organizations, market surveillance, etc.).

Others can be affected by the level of machinery safety achieved with the means of the document by the

above-mentioned stakeholder groups:
— machine users/employers (small, medium and large enterprises);

— machine users/employees (e.g. trade unions, organizations for people with special needs);

— service providers, e.g. for maintenance (small, medium and large enterprises);
— consumers (in case of machinery intended for use by consumers).

The above-mentioned stakeholder groups have been given the possibility to participate at the drafting

process of this document. The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous

situations and events are covered are indicated in the scope of this document.

When provisions of this type C standard are different from those which are stated in type A or B

standards, the provisions of this type C standard take precedence over the provisions of the other

standards, for machines that have been designed and built according to the provisions of the type C

standard.

It has been assumed that the use of the equipment for dispensing of fuels will be by untrained persons

(user/dispenser), while other aspects of the operation, maintenance, etc., will be by designated and

trained personnel (station personnel or operator).

Measures in addition to those required by this document are expected to be assessed if the metering

pump or dispenser is intended for use and storage at temperature outside of the range stated in the Scope.

The manufacturer should demonstrate the suitability of the metering pump or dispenser design over the

full temperature range, and the temperature range should be marked in accordance with 7.4.1. The need

for and nature of additional requirements should be determined by the manufacturer, if necessary, after

consulting the installer and user.

European foreword

This document (prEN 13617-1:2018) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 393

“Equipment for storage tanks and for filling stations”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN.

This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 13617-1:2012.
In comparison with EN 13617-1:2012, the following fundamental changes were made:

— Scope modified to reference that this standard applies to dispensing of flammable liquids.

— Introduction of Annex D.
— Alternative stability test has been added to 6.1.5.2.
— Float testing clarified in 5.3.4.1.
— Update of normative references.

Recipients of this draft are invited to submit, with their comments, notification of any relevant patent

rights of which they are aware and to provide supporting documentation.

This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the

European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s).

For relationship with EU Directives, see informative Annexes ZA and ZB, which are integral parts of this

document.
This European Standard Petrol filling stations consists of four parts:

— Part 1: Safety requirements for construction and performance of metering pumps, dispensers and

remote pumping units;

— Part 2: Safety requirements for construction and performance of safe breaks for use on metering

pumps and dispensers;
— Part 3: Safety requirements for construction and performance of shear valves;

— Part 4: Safety requirements for construction and performance of swivels for use on metering pumps

and dispensers.

Introduction
This document is a type C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100.

The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and events are

covered are indicated in the scope of this document.

When provisions of this type C standard are different from those which are stated in type A or B

standards, the provisions of this type C standard take precedence over the provisions of the other

standards, for machines that have been designed and built according to the provisions of the type C

standard.

It has been assumed that the use of the equipment for dispensing of fuels will be by untrained persons

(user/dispenser), while other aspects of the operation, maintenance, etc., will be by designated and

trained personnel (station personnel or operator).

1 Scope

This document applies to metering pumps, dispensers and remote pumping units to be installed at

liquid fuel filling stations, designed to dispense flammable liquid fuels into the tanks of motor vehicles,

boats and light aircraft and into portable containers at flow rates up to 200 l · min , and intended for

use and storage at ambient temperatures between −20 °C and +40 °C. Measures in addition to those

required by this European Standard might be required for use and storage at temperature outside this

range. The need for and nature of additional requirements should be determined by the manufacturer,

if necessary after consulting the client.

This document deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to metering

pumps, dispensers and remote pumping units, when they are used as intended and under the

conditions foreseeable by the manufacturer (see Clause 4).

This document gives health and safety related requirements for the selection, construction and

performance of the equipment.

This document does not deal with noise and with hazards related to transportation and installation.

This document does not include any requirements for metering performance.

Vapour recovery efficiency rates are not considered within this European Standard.

Fuels other than the ones of Explosion Group IIA are excluded from this European Standard.

This document is not applicable to metering pumps, dispensers and remote pumping units which are

manufactured before the date of publication of this document by CEN.

This document does not apply to equipment for use with liquefied or compressed gases.

4 List of significant hazards

Table 1 contains the significant hazards and hazardous situations, as far as they are dealt with in this

European Standard, identified by a risk assessment significant for metering pumps, dispensers and

remote pumping units used for the dispensing of liquid fuels, and which require action to eliminate or

reduce risks.

A risk assessment should be carried out to determine whether the hazards identified at Table 1 exist

and whether there are additional hazards not covered by this standard. It is the responsibility of the

manufacturer, outside the scope of this standard, to identify such hazards and provide suitable

protective measures.
