Overview
EN 14894:2021 specifies stamp marking requirements for transportable refillable LPG cylinders and metallic drums. It applies to steel, welded aluminium, composite cylinders and metallic drums manufactured to the relevant EN design standards (for example EN 1442, EN 14140, EN 12807, EN 14893, EN 13110, EN 14427) or equivalent national technical codes recognized by the competent authority. The standard defines what permanent and durable markings must appear on cylinders, where they shall be located, and minimum legibility and arrangement requirements. Note that RID/ADR and the Transportable Pressure Equipment Directive (TPED, 2010/35/EU) take precedence where applicable (including the π‑mark).
Key topics and requirements
- Scope and applicability
- Covers refillable LPG cylinders and metallic drums (referred to as “cylinders” throughout the document).
- Does not replace ADR/RID labelling requirements for hazard/product phrases.
- Stamp marking groups and layout
- Markings are grouped into three ordered groups: manufacturing (top), operational (middle) and certification (bottom). Additional markings must not cause confusion.
- Types of marks
- Manufacturing marks: country of manufacture, manufacturer’s mark, manufacturing serial number (permanent).
- Operational marks: design test pressure (prefix “PH … BAR”), water capacity (expressed to three significant digits, rounded down) (permanent).
- Certification marks: design standard identification (e.g., EN 1442), country of approval (vehicle distinguishing sign per Vienna Convention), inspection body mark, initial inspection date (format YYYY/MM) (permanent).
- Other marks: next/last periodic inspection dates and similar markings (durable or permanent as specified).
- Workmanship and legibility
- Markings must be clear, legible and durable; “permanent” marks resist removal without special tools; “durable” marks remain legible for the required period.
- Character height: generally at least 5 mm, reduced to 2.5 mm minimum for cylinders with outside diameter < 140 mm.
- UN number sizing: at least 12 mm for >60 L, 6 mm for ≤60 L.
- Placement
- For metallic cylinders: shoulder, top end, neck or permanently affixed components (shrouds, handles, welded nameplates). Composite cylinders may use encapsulated printed labels or permanently affixed plastic components.
Applications and who uses it
- Manufacturers of LPG cylinders/drums to ensure compliant marking during production.
- Inspection bodies and competent authorities for certification and surveillance.
- Distributors, cylinder owners and fleet operators for identification, periodic inspection tracking and safe transport.
- Regulators and transport companies to align marking with RID/ADR and TPED requirements.
Related standards and regulations
- EN 1442, EN 14140, EN 12807, EN 14893, EN 13110, EN 14427 (design/manufacture standards referenced in scope)
- RID/ADR (transport regulations) - take precedence where applicable

5.1 General
5.1.1 Stamp markings consist of manufacturing, operational and certification stamp marks and are
listed in Clause 6, Clause 7 and Clause 8. The layout of the marks is covered by 5.3. Additional markings
can be applied if required by other regulations or technical standards, or when required by the cylinder
owner; provided the layout does not cause any confusion in their interpretation and the clarity of the
other mandatory markings is not affected.
5.1.2 Low stress stamp marking methods shall be utilized.
5.1.3 Stamp markings shall be applied to low stress areas.
5.1.4 Stamp marking shall be in accordance with the requirements of EN 14894 and any requirements
in the standard to which cylinder or drum is being manufactured.
The marking information can be supplemented and/or duplicated by electronic means or other types of
coding where required by the operator.
NOTE 1 The TPED includes additional marking requirements (π-marking).
NOTE 2 The requirements of RID/ADR override any conflicting requirements of this document; this can lead to
a temporary noncompliance with EN 14894.
5.2 Workmanship
5.2.1 All stamp markings shall be affixed clearly, legibly and durably on the cylinder and shall remain
visible and legible under all foreseeable operating and ageing conditions.
— Markings required to be “permanent” shall be such that they can only be removed with the use of
special tools and can be done, for example by hard metal stamping, engraving, casting, embossing,
encapsulation or other similar methods.
— Markings required to be “durable” shall be such that they remain visible and legible for the relevant
period of time and can be done, for example by printing, external labelling, stencilling, use of valve
hand-wheel insert or other similar methods.

EN 14894:2021は、移動可能な再充填可能なLPGシリンダーおよび金属ドラムに対する印刷マーキングの要件を定めた標準です。この文書は、特定の規格に従って設計・製造されたシリンダーやドラムに関連する重要な基準を提供しています。 この標準の主要な強みは、EN 1442、EN 14140、EN 12807やEN 14893など、適切な技術基準に基づくシリンダー及びドラムの明確な分類と、それぞれの設計要件に従っていることを保証することです。特に、EN 13110やEN 14427に準拠した溶接アルミニウムLPGシリンダーやコンポジットシリンダーに関する基準も含まれており、標準化された印刷マーキングが確実に行われることを目的としています。 さらに、EN 14894:2021は、シリンダーのマーキングに関連する規則がRID/ADRに従い、この文書の条項よりも優先されることを明確に示しています。この点は、特に製品の安全性を重視する上でも重要であり、EUの輸送可能な圧力機器指令2010/35/EUによる追加のマーキング要件も考慮されています。 この文書は、LPG機器やアクセサリーの取り扱いにおいて一貫性を持たせ、法令遵守を促進するために必要な基準を提供しており、LPG業界における安全性の向上に寄与します。特に、標準の範囲はLPG関連製品の多様性を反映しており、各国の規制に応じた適切なソリューションを提示するため、他の関連基準と連携を図る意義があります。
표준 EN 14894:2021은 이동식 재충전 가능한 LPG 실린더와 금속 드럼의 마킹 요구 사항을 규정합니다. 이 문서는 다양한 유형의 LPG 실린더와 금속 드럼에 대한 스탬프 마킹 요건을 명확히 하여 안전하고 일관된 제품 관리를 촉진하고 있습니다. 이 표준의 주요 강점은 다음과 같습니다. 첫째, 표준은 EN 1442, EN 14140, EN 12807과 같은 적절한 기술 코드에 따라 설계 및 제조된 강철 LPG 실린더와 EN 14893에 기반한 금속 드럼의 마킹 요건을 포함하고 있습니다. 이는 소비자에게 신뢰성을 제공하고, 시장에서의 품질 보증을 도와줍니다. 둘째, EN 13110 또는 EN 14427 등의 다른 표준에 따라 설계된 용접 알루미늄 LPG 실린더와 복합 LPG 실린더도 포함되어 있습니다. 이러한 포괄성은 다양한 제품의 안전성과 규정 준수를 보장하는 데 기여합니다. 셋째, 표준은 RID/ADR에 따른 실린더 마킹을 규제하므로, 제품의 라벨링과 관련된 법적 요구사항이 방해받지 않도록 설계되었습니다. 이는 사용자와 제조업체 모두에게 법적 구속력을 가진 안내를 제공합니다. 마지막으로, EN 14894는 유럽연합의 이동식 압력 장비 지침(2010/35/EU)을 준수하여 추가적인 마킹 요건과 관련된 규정을 포함하고 있습니다. 이는 EU 외 국가에서의 적합성 마크 교체에 대한 명확한 지침을 제공합니다. 결론적으로, EN 14894:2021 표준은 LPG 장비와 액세서리에 대한 명확하고 일관된 마킹 요건을 제시하여 소비자 보호와 산업의 안전 기준 향상에 큰 기여를 하고 있습니다. 이러한 이유로 해당 표준은 LPG 관련 분야에서 매우 중요한 참고자료로 자리잡고 있습니다.
The standard EN 14894:2021 provides essential guidelines for the marking of transportable refillable LPG cylinders and metallic drums, ensuring clarity and safety in the identification of these items. This document is pivotal for manufacturers and suppliers within the LPG sector, as it outlines specific stamp marking requirements applicable to various types of cylinders, including steel, welded aluminum, and composite materials, all of which abide by recognized standards or technical codes acknowledged by the relevant Competent Authority. A significant strength of EN 14894:2021 lies in its comprehensive scope. By including detailed specifications for steel LPG cylinders (manufactured under the standards EN 1442, EN 14140, EN 12807), metallic drums (aligned with EN 14893), and aluminum and composite cylinders (following EN 13110 and EN 14427 respectively), this standard ensures a broad applicability across different manufacturing processes. The clarity in defining each category is crucial for maintaining industry compliance and promoting consistency in marking practices. Furthermore, the document also emphasizes the importance of existing regulations such as RID/ADR, acknowledging these as having precedence over the standard itself. This recognition reinforces the relevance of EN 14894:2021 within the larger framework of regulatory compliance, providing users with the necessary context concerning safety and transport legislation. While the standard delineates the marking for cylinders, it notably does not cover product, hazard, or safety-phrase labeling, indicating a focused approach. Users are advised to seek additional regulations as required by ADR or other legislative requirements, thus pointing to the need for a comprehensive understanding of both EN 14894:2021 and other applicable regulations for full compliance. In summary, EN 14894:2021 is a crucial standard for marking requirements pertaining to LPG equipment and accessories, serving a vital role in ensuring safety and clarity in the transportable LPG sector. Its strengths in scope, regulatory alignment, and clarity make it an indispensable resource for industry stakeholders.
