EN 15888:2014 (E) 3 Foreword This document (EN 15888:2014) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 23 “Transportable gas cylinders”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by October 2014, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by October 2014. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN [and/or CENELEC] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association. This European Standard has been submitted for reference into the RID and/or the technical annexes of the ADR. Therefore, in this context, the standards listed in the normative references and covering basic requirements of the RID/ADR not addressed within the present standard are normative only when the standards themselves are referred to in the RID and/or the technical annexes of the ADR. According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom.

EN 15888:2014 (E) 4 Introduction The principal aim of a periodic inspection and testing procedure is that at the completion of the test the cylinder bundles may be reintroduced into service for a further period of time. Experience of the inspection and testing of cylinder bundles which is specified in this European Standard is an important factor when determining whether a cylinder bundle should be returned into service. Periodic inspection and testing of the bundle are carried out in line with the retest period of the cylinders within the bundle and are a legal requirement in order to comply with Directive 89/655/EEC as amended by Directive 95/63/EC as implemented into National Legislation within the European Union.

Experience of the inspection and testing of cylinder bundles which is specified in this European Standard is an important factor when determining whether a cylinder bundle should be returned into service. Periodic inspection of the bundle is carried out inline with the retest period of the cylinder and is a legal requirement in order to comply with Use of Work Directive 89/655 as amended by Directive 95/63 as implemented into National Legislation within the European Union. In European Standards, weight is equivalent to a force, expressed in newtons. However, in common parlance (as used in terms defined in this European Standard), the word “weight” continues to be used to mean “mass”, but this practice is deprecated (see ISO 80000-4). kSIST FprEN 15888:2011
