Test methods
B.1 Electrical resistance test
To determine the electrical resistance through the body of the nozzle, carry out the following procedure.
— Measure between the nozzle input and the spout according to the test procedure as described in
EN 60204-1:2018, 18.3 using a supply voltage of 500 V d.c.
— Measure and record the resistance in ohms.
— Repeat for four other points on the spout.
B.2 Pressure test
To determine whether the pressurized compartments of the nozzle body withstand a pressure of 1,4 MPa
(14 bar), carry out the following procedure.
+0,01 +01,
— Subject the nozzle body, up to the valve seat, to a liquid pressure of ( 1, 40 ) MPa [( 14,0 ) bar],

+5
maintained for ( 60 ) s.

— While pressure is maintained, observe for leaks. After pressure is removed, observe with an eye with
normal visual acuity for permanent deformation, and record observations.
B.3 Drop test
To determine whether the nozzle withstands the impact of being dropped by a user, carry out the
following procedure.
— Attach the fully assembled nozzle, including any outer cover, to a 3 m hose assembly according to

European foreword
This document (prEN 13012:2018) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 393
“Equipment for storage tanks and for filling stations”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 13012:2012.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the
European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s).
For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this
document.
In comparison with the 2012 edition, the following fundamental changes were made:
— nozzles for aqueous urea solution added;
— Table 2 corrected to ensure compatibility between components according to EN 13012,
EN 13617-2, EN 13617-4 and EN 1360.

1 Scope
This document 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 and aqueous urea solution into the tanks of motor vehicles, boats and light
-1
aircraft and into portable containers, at flow rates up to 200 l · min .
This document applies to fuels of Explosion Group IIA and also aqueous urea solution according to
ISO 22241-1.
NOTE Fuels other than of Explosion Group IIA are excluded from this document.
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 document does not apply to equipment dispensing compressed or liquefied gases.
This document does not include any requirements for metering performance, such as might be specified
under the Measuring Instruments Directive, nor those requirements specified under the
Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive.
Vapour recovery efficiency rates are not covered in this document.

4.1 General
Materials used in the construction of nozzles shall be chemically and dimensionally stable under known
service conditions. Materials likely to come into contact with fuels, both in liquid and vapour phases,
shall be resistant to attack by these fuels. Conformity shall be demonstrated by manufacturers'
declarations and by the tests detailed in Annex B.
The nozzle shall be explosion-protected and shall be Category 2, Group II, EPL Gb in accordance with
EN ISO 80079-36. Components fitted to the spout and within the vapour recovery path shall be
Category 1, Group II, EPL Ga in accordance with EN ISO 80079-36. The nozzle shall fulfil the
requirements for temperature class T3 and group IIA according to EN 60079-0 or EN ISO 80079-36. The
nozzle shall have a manually controlled operating device, which may incorporate an integral latch, to
control the liquid flow. Where a latch is provided, it shall be possible to disable the latching function.
The surfaces and mechanisms of the nozzle which, in normal operation, come into contact with the
operator shall be such that they present no risk of injury. Conformity to this requirement is
demonstrated by visual inspection of a nozzle.
Nozzles shall be classified as Type I or Type II according to the delivery characteristics given in Table 1.
