Petrol filling stations - Construction and performance of automatic nozzles for use on fuel dispensers

This European Standard specifies safety and environmental requirements for the construction and performance of
nozzles to be fitted to metering pumps and dispensers installed at filling stations and which are used to dispense
liquid fuels into the tanks of motor vehicles, boats and light aircraft and into portable containers, at flow rates up to
200 l.min-1.
The requirements apply to automatic nozzles dispensing flammable liquid fuels at ambient temperatures from
-20 °C to +40 °C with the possibility for an extended temperature range.
This European Standard does not apply to equipment dispensing liquefied petroleum gas nor compressed natural
gas.
This European Standard does not include any requirements for metering performance such as may be specified
under the Measuring Instruments Directive nor those specified under the Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive.
Vapour recovery efficiency rates are not considered within this standard.

Diese Europäische Norm legt die sicherheitstechnischen und Umweltanforderungen an den Bau und die Arbeitsweise von Zapfventilen fest, die an Zapfsäulen und druckversorgten Zapfsäulen auf Tankstellen installiert werden, und die für die Abgabe von flüssigen Kraftstoffen in Tanks von Automobilen, Booten und Leichtflugzeugen und in tragbare Behälter bei Durchflussraten bis zu 200 l·min-1 eingesetzt werden.
Die Anforderungen beziehen sich auf automatische Zapfventile für die Abgabe von brennbaren flüssigen Kraftstoffen bei Umgebungstemperaturen von - 20 °C bis + 40 °C, mit der Möglichkeit einer Erweiterung des Temperatur-bereiches.
Diese Norm gilt nicht für Anlagen für die Abgabe von Flüssiggas oder verdichtetem Erdgas.
Diese Norm enthält weder Anforderungen für Messinstrumente wie die, die in der Direktive für Messinstrumente, noch solche, die in der Direktive für elektromagnetische Kompatibilität spezifiziert sind.
Effizienzraten für Gasrückführung fallen nicht in den Anwendungsbereich dieser Norm.

La présente Norme européenne spécifie les exigences relatives a la sécurité et a la protection de l'environnement pour la construction et les performances des pistolets de remplissage montés sur des ensembles de mesurage et de distribution installés sur stations service et utilisés pour distribuer des carburants liquides dans des réservoirs de véhicules a moteur, de bateaux, d'avions légers et dans des réservoirs portables, a des débits pouvant atteindre 200 lmin-1.
Les exigences concernent les pistolets automatiques de remplissage distribuant des carburants liquides inflammables, a des températures comprises entre -20 °C et +40 °C avec la possibilité d'une gamme de température étendue.
La présente Norme européenne ne s'applique ni au matériel de distribution de gaz de pétrole liquéfié, ni au matériel de distribution de gaz naturel comprimé.
La présente Norme européenne ne comprend aucune exigence concernant les performances métrologiques telles que celles pouvant etre spécifiées dans la directive concernant les instruments de mesure, pas plus que celles contenues dans la directive concernant la compatibilité électromagnétique.
Les taux d'efficacité de la récupération de vapeur ne sont pas abordés dans la présente norme.
