Overview
EN 16657:2016+A1:2018 is a CEN European Standard that defines minimum performance and construction requirements for overfill prevention controllers located on tank vehicles used to deliver liquid fuels to static tanks. It applies to fuel products with a flash point up to (and not exceeding) 100 °C and to controllers intended to operate in ambient temperatures from −25 °C to +60 °C under normal operational pressure variations. The standard focuses on safe, reliable detection and automatic stopping of product flow to prevent tank overfilling.
Key Topics and Requirements
- Scope & application: Controllers on tank vehicles that interface with sensors mounted on static tanks to prevent overfill during refuelling operations.
- Safety / effectiveness: Power supply failure, sensor non‑permissive signals, short circuits or interruptions must prevent or stop product flow. Stopping flow must not create pressure exceeding system design limits.
- Response times:
- Sensor reaction (permissive → non‑permissive): max 1.5 s (per EN 13616-2).
- Controller reaction (permissive → non‑permissive): max 1 s.
- Controller output to cessation of product flow: max 3 s.
- Maximum total time from liquid detection to flow stop: 5.5 s.
- Electrical / intrinsically safe parameters:
- Measuring circuit voltage: 19.0 ± 0.3 V, stable across temperature and up to 80 mA load.
- Ex safety rating for powering sensors: at least Ex ia IIB T3 (EN 60079 series).
- Maximum sensor output limits in the controller: U0 = 25 V, I0 = 165 mA, P0 = 1 W.
- EMC and vehicle transient immunity: Must meet EN 61000‑6‑3 (emission) and EN 61000‑6‑1 (immunity); resilient to ISO 7637‑2 transient pulses.
- Interfaces and connectors: Mechanical socket and plug types are defined to mate with EN 13616‑2 sensors; digital/binary interfaces and optional auxiliary (“listener”) contacts are supported for Product Recognition Device (PRD) / crossover prevention.
- Testing & marking: Type tests (performance, fail‑safe, EMC), manufacturer production tests, and specific interface tests are required; marking and documentation requirements are specified.
Applications and Users
- Who uses this standard:
- Manufacturers of overfill prevention controllers, sensors and connectors
- Tank‑vehicle OEMs and system integrators
- Fuel distribution companies and tank farm operators
- Certification bodies, conformity assessors and safety inspectors
- Procurement and regulatory compliance teams
- Practical applications:
- Design and production of intrinsically safe controller units for fuel delivery vehicles
- Installation and commissioning of overfill prevention systems for static tanks
- Test procedures for type approval and factory production checks
- Ensuring interoperability between tank‑vehicle controllers, sensors and PRDs for safe refuelling
