Leak detection systems - Part 1: General principles

This European Standard specifies the general principles for leak detection systems for use with double-skin tanks, single-skin tanks and pipework designed for water polluting fluids.

Leckanzeigesysteme - Teil 1: Allgemeine Grundsätze

Diese Europäische Norm legt die allgemeinen Grundsätze für Leck¬anzeigesysteme für den Einsatz in doppelwan¬di¬gen, einwandigen, unterirdischen oder oberirdischen Tanks und Rohrleitungen für wassergefährdende Flüssigkeiten fest.

Systèmes de détection de fuites - Partie 1 : Principes généraux

La présente Norme européenne spécifie les principes généraux relatifs aux systèmes de détection de fuites utilisés avec les réservoirs à double paroi ainsi que les réservoirs et les tuyauteries à simple paroi conçus pour des liquides polluant l'eau.

Sistemi za kontrolo tesnosti - 1. del: Splošna načela

Ta evropski standard določa splošna načela za sisteme za kontrolo tesnosti za uporabo pri dvoplaščnih rezervoarjih, enoplaščnih rezervoarjih in cevovodih, ki so zasnovani za tekočine, ki onesnažujejo vodo.

Overview

EN 13160-1:2016 - “Leak detection systems - Part 1: General principles” is a CEN European Standard that establishes the general principles, terminology and basic requirements for leak detection systems used with double-skin and single-skin tanks, underground or above-ground tanks, and associated pipework designed for water-polluting fluids. It defines system classes, functional expectations (alarm, testability, restart after power loss), and high-level safety and electromagnetic requirements applicable across the EN 13160 series.

Key Topics

• Scope and definitions
  • Covers leak detection for tanks, interstitial spaces, leak detection linings/jackets, monitoring wells and related components.
  • Defines key terms such as interstitial space, pressure/vacuum leak detectors, liquid/vapour sensors, tank gauge leak detection (static/dynamic/statistical).
• Classes of leak detection systems (I–V)
  • Class I: pressure/vacuum systems that detect leaks before product reaches the environment (highest containment).
  • Class II: liquid monitoring for interstitial space (may allow release to environment).
  • Class III: sensors detect leaks below liquid level-product may reach environment.
  • Class IV: tank-gauge based detection (dynamic/static/statistical) for changes in stored volume; includes sub-classes for pipework and static systems.
  • Class V: monitoring-well based systems (product will enter environment before detection).
• Functional requirements
  • Visual and audible alarms for all leak and malfunction conditions.
  • Systems must be testable and able to simulate leak conditions.
  • Disconnection or cable faults shall trigger alarms; power interruptions must allow automatic resumption on restore.
  • Design to prevent accidental disconnection; plug/socket allowed only if interruption causes alarm.
• Safety and environmental protection
  • Where explosive atmospheres are possible, components must be explosion-protected and assessed per EN ISO 80079-36 and related standards.
  • Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and electrical safety requirements apply to non-hazardous and hazardous area equipment.
• Installation and maintenance
  • Components should be suitable for intended temperature/atmospheric ranges and used per manufacturer instructions.

Applications

• Protective specification for: fuel storage terminals, service stations, environmental monitoring around tanks, chemical storage facilities, tank manufacturers, system integrators, and inspection/test bodies.
• Useful for designing, installing, certifying and maintaining leak detection for systems handling water-polluting liquids to reduce environmental risk and comply with national adoption of CEN standards.

Related Standards

EN 13160-1 is Part 1 of a 7-part series (Parts 2–7 cover pressure/vacuum kits, liquid systems, sensor systems, tank gauges, monitoring wells, interstitial spaces/linings). Normative references include:

• EN 60079 series (explosive atmospheres)
• EN 61000 series (EMC)
• EN 61010-1 / EN 60950-1 (electrical safety)
• EN ISO 80079-36 (non-electrical equipment for explosive atmospheres)

Keywords: EN 13160-1, leak detection systems, tank leak detection, double-skin tanks, interstitial space, tank monitoring, EMC, explosion protection, pipework leak detection.
