Non-refillable metallic gas cartridges for liquefied petroleum gases, with or without a valve, for use with portable appliances - Construction, inspection, testing and marking
This European Standard specifies material, construction, inspection and marking requirements for non-refillable metallic gas cartridges with or without a valve for use with portable appliances which comply with the requirements of EN 521.
This standard is applicable to cartridges with a total capacity of between 50 ml and 1 000 ml, designed to contain stenched liquefied petroleum gas or stabilized mixtures of liquefied petroleum gas with propadiene and/or methyl acetylene, where the pressure developed by the contents of the cartridge at 50 °C does not exceed 13,2 bar.
However, stenching of these gases is optional for cartridges with a total capacity not exceeding 150 ml.
This standard is not applicable to aerosol dispensers - manufactured, filled, tested and marked in accordance with the Directive 75/324/EEC.

EN 417:2003 (E)4IntroductionThis standard covers “non-refillable metallic cartridges for liquefied petroleum gases, with or without a valve, foruse with portable appliances”.It has become necessary to establish a specific standard for these cartridges, as the EuropeanDirective 75/324/EEC concerning aerosol generators does not cover the essential functions of cartridges forliquefied petroleum gas, i.e. containing a gas suitable for the operation of the appliance and supplying theappliance in a gas tight fashion, taking account of its geometry and the heating that might occur.The safety of the user therefore depends on the use of cartridges complying with this standard, which inconsequence, will be marked, inspected and tested in accordance with the requirements of this standard.This standard also defines the tests to be used as a basis for type examination and describes a procedure whichcan serve as a guide to the organizations responsible for issuing type examination certificates.This standard does not apply to appliances with an integral gas container which is not interchangeable, or tocartridges for filling such containers.SIST EN 417:2004

Thesenormative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter.
