an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by December 2020, and conflicting national
standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by December 2020.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the

Introduction
The purpose of this document is to provide a specification for the design, manufacture, inspection
and testing of refillable, transportable carbon fully wrapped composite cylinders and tubes filled
with hydrogen and protected in a frame such as a bundle or a trailer.
The specifications given are based on knowledge of, and experience with, materials, design
requirements, manufacturing processes and control during manufacture of cylinders and tubes
in common use in the countries of the CEN members.
For gas cylinders covered by RID/ADR, the maximum service pressure (maximum developed
pressure at 65 °C) should not exceed the test pressure. Consequently the safety factor applies to
the test pressure since, whatever the gas, the maximum developed pressure (p ) is, in any case,
max
lower than or equal to the test pressure.
This document only covers compressed hydrogen (dedicated service), therefore, the safety factor
is applied to the maximum developed pressure at 65 °C (p ), which is the maximum accepted
max
temperature by transport regulations.

NOTE This excludes the design requirements, since these are specified by the manufacturer for the
design of the composite cylinder. For liners with water capacity above 150 l manufactured of stainless steel
or aluminium alloy, the relevant sections of the appropriate standard also apply.
5.2.2 Non-metallic liners
A cylinder with a non-metallic liner shall be designed as if the liner will be non-load sharing. The
liner material shall be compatible with hydrogen as determined by EN ISO 11114-2 or

Where a metal end boss is used in a non-metallic liner, it shall be considered part of the liner
material and shall fulfil the material requirements specified in the relevant standard, as listed in
5.2.1. Other materials are acceptable if hydrogen compatibility is demonstrated by testing
according to EN ISO 11114-4 or if it is accepted by design standards (e.g. EN ISO 7866).
The drawing of the liner shall include the specification of the material and material properties of
the boss. The following material properties of the boss shall be specified in the design:
a) minimum yield stress;
b) minimum tensile strength;
c) minimum elongation;
d) compatibility with hydrogen as determined by EN ISO 11114-1.
The metal end boss bearing the cylinder thread shall be designed to withstand the torque applied
in fitting the valve to the cylinder and the tests specified in Test 13 (for taper threads only, see
6.2.13) and Test 14 (see 6.2.14).
5.2.3 Design drawing
A fully dimensioned drawing of the liner shall be supplied which includes the specification of the
material and material properties. Material and liner properties to be specified on the drawing are:
a) for metallic liners:
— minimum yield stress;
11

---------------------- Page: 13 ----------------------
SIST EN 17339:2020
EN 17339:2020 (E)
— minimum tensile strength;
— minimum elongation;
— minimum burst pressure;
— compatibility with hydrogen as determined by EN ISO 11114-1.
b) for non-metallic liners:
1) density;
— melting point, as determined by:
— EN ISO 3146 for thermoplastics; or
— EN ISO 75-1 and EN ISO 75-3 for thermoset materials;
— glass transition temperature as determined by differential scanning calorimetry;
— composition;
— compatibility with hydrogen as specified by EN ISO 11114-2 or demonstrated by
suitable testing
— end boss design in accordance with 5.2.2.
5.2.4 Design of ends
The external diameter and thickness of the formed neck end of the liner shall be designed to
withstand the torque applied in fitting the valve to the cylinder and the tests specified in Test 13
(for taper threads only, see 6.2.13) and Test 14 (see 6.2.14).
5.2.5 Neck ring
When a neck ring is provided, it shall be of a material compatible with that of the cylinder, and
shall be securely attached by an appropriate method to the liner (or cylinder for cylinders without
liner) or boss material.
5.3 Composite overwrap
5.3.1 Materials
Material requirements for the fibre and matrix or the pre-impregnated material shall be as
specified by the cylinder manufacturer.
5.3.2 Winding
Appropriate procedures shall be defined for the winding and curing process to ensure good
repeatability and traceability.
Parameters to be specified and monitored are:
a) composite overwrap component percentages;
b) batch numbers of the material used as defined in 3.3 to 3.6;

A fully dimensioned drawing of all parts that constitute the finished cylinder shall be supplied.
The design drawing shall include tolerances on all dimensions, including out-of-roundness and
straightness.

European foreword
This document (prEN 17339:2018) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 23
“Transportable gas cylinders”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.

Introduction
The purpose of this document is to provide a specification for the design, manufacture, inspection
and testing of refillable, transportable carbon fully wrapped composite cylinders filled with
hydrogen and protected in a frame such as a bundle or a trailer.
The specifications given are based on knowledge of, and experience with, materials, design
requirements, manufacturing processes and control during manufacture of cylinders in common
use in the countries of the CEN members.
For gas cylinders covered by RID/ADR, the maximum service pressure (maximum developed
pressure at 65°C) should not exceed the test pressure. Consequently the safety factor applies to
the test pressure since, whatever the gas, the maximum developed pressure (p ) is, in any case,
max
lower than the test pressure.
Because this document only covers compressed hydrogen (dedicated service), the safety factor is
applied to the maximum developed pressure at 65°C (p ), which is the maximum accepted
max
temperature by transport regulations.

5.1 General requirements
A fully wrapped composite gas cylinder may be manufactured with a metallic or non-metallic
liner or without a liner. An optional exterior coating or fibre layers may be used to provide

The cylinder may also include additional parts (e.g. rings and bases).
Cylinders shall be designed with one or two openings along the central axis only.
The cylinders covered by this document shall be permanently mounted in a bundle according to

material and shall fulfil the material requirements specified in the relevant standard, as listed in
5.2.1.
The drawing of the liner shall include the specification of the material and material properties of

The internal and external surfaces of the finished cylinder shall be free of defects which can
adversely affect the safe working of the cylinder. In addition, there shall be no visible foreign
matter present inside the cylinder (e.g. resin, swarf or other debris).
