EN 13121-1:2003 (E)4ForewordThis document (EN 13121-1:2003) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 210, "GRP tanks and ves-sels", the secretariat of which is held by DIN.This. European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text orby endorsement, at the latest by November 2003, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latestby November 2003.This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the EuropeanFree Trade Association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.According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following coun-tries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland,France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal,Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
EN 13121-1:2003 (E)5IntroductionEN 13121 consists of the following parts under the general title "GRP tanks and vessels for use above ground":Part 1 — Raw materials – Specification conditions and acceptance conditionsPart 2 — Composite materials – Chemical resistancePart 3 — Design and workmanshipPart 4 — Delivery, installation and maintenanceThese four Parts together define the responsibilities of the tank or vessel manufacturers, the materials manufactur-ers or suppliers and the purchasers.The design and manufacture of GRP tanks and vessels involve a number of different materials such as resins,plastics and reinforcing fibres and a number of different manufacturing methods. It is implicit that tanks and vesselsconforming to this European Standard should be made only by manufacturers and operators who are competentand suitably equipped to fulfil all requirements, using materials manufactured by competent and experienced mate-rial manufacturers.Part 1 of this standard specifies the requirements for specification conditions and acceptance conditions for rawmaterials — resins, curing agents, thermoplastic linings, reinforcing materials and additives — in terms of bothmaterial technical properties and the manufacturing process. These requirements are necessary in order to estab-lish the chemical resistance properties determined in Part 2 and the mechanical, thermal and design propertiesdetermined in Part 3. Together with the workmanship principles determined in Part 3, specification conditions andacceptance conditions for raw materials ensure that the tank or vessel will be able to meet its design requirements,particularly in terms of its chemical/thermal resistance and pressure and load supporting requirements. Part 4 ofthis standard specifies requirements for delivery, handling and installation and recommendations for maintenanceof GRP tanks and vessels.1 ScopeThis European Standard gives requirements for specification and acceptance conditions of raw materials for GRPtanks and vessels with or without lining for storage or processing of fluids, factory made or site built, non pressur-ised or pressurised, for use above ground.2 Normative referencesThis European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. Thesenormative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter. Fordated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this EuropeanStandard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision.

EN 13121-1:2003 (E)84 Thermosetting resins4.1 GeneralThe resins used for GRP tanks or vessels are liquid or liquefiable, thermosetting in nature and cure by polymerisa-tion (polyaddition or polycondensation) with or without curing agents (initiators, accelerators/promotors).The production procedure and cure schedule of thermosetting resin laminates shall be in accordance with the resinmanufacturer's recommendations. Most thermosetting resins require an elevated temperature post cure to enhancechemical and thermal resistance.Most unsaturated polyester resins and vinyl ester resins may be classified in accordance with Table 2.In order that a specific resin may be given a classification according to Table 2 then the resin manufacturer shallstate that the specific resin conforms with the property requirements given in Table 2 and meets the chemical re-sistance requirements given in prEN 13121-2.When required, flammability and electrical conductivity shall be taken into account.
