LPG equipment and accessories - Transportable refillable welded steel cylinders for LPG - Design and construction

This European Standard specifies the minimum requirements for the design, construction and testing during manufacture of transportable refillable welded steel Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) cylinders, of water capacity from 0,5 l up to and including 150 l, exposed to ambient temperatures. This European Standard applies only to cylinders having a circular cross-section. The main technical changes are a widening of the range of materials permitted, reference to the latest ISO welding standards, the introduction of radioscopy as a permitted alternative to radiographic examination of welds, a reduction in the minimum required burst pressure from 50 bar to 35 bar and simplification of the marking requirements by reference to EN 14894.

EN 1442:2006 (E) 4 Foreword This document (EN 1442:2006) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 286 “Liquefied 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of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by December 2006, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by December 2006. This document supersedes EN 1442:1998. 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 standard are normative only when the standards themselves are referred to in the RID and/or in the technical annexes of the ADR. This European Standard has been extensively re-formatted to align with other more recent LPG cylinder standards. The main technical changes are a widening of the range of materials permitted, reference to the latest
ISO welding standards, the introduction of radioscopy as a permitted alternative to radiographic examination of welds, a reduction in the minimum required burst pressure from 50 bar to 35 bar and simplification of the marking requirements by reference to EN 14894. 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, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom.
