Workshop fabricated steel tanks - Part 1: Horizontal cylindrical single skin and double skin tanks for the underground storage of flammable and nonflammable water polluting liquids
This standard specifies the product characteristics and test/assessment methods for workshop fabricated cylindrical, horizontal steel tanks, single (type S) and double skin (type D) intended to be used for the underground storage of water polluting liquids (both flammable and non-flammable) at normal ambient temperature conditions (-20 °C to +50 °C) within the following limits:
from 800 mm up to 3000 mm nominal diameter and,
up to a maximum overall length of 6 times the nominal diameter
for liquids with a maximum density of up to 1,9 kg/l and,
with an operating pressure (Po) of maximum 1,5 bar (abs.) and,
for double skin tanks with a vacuum leak detection system where the kinematic viscosity does not exceed 5 10-3 m2/s.
Tanks designed to this standard allow for an earth cover of 1.5m and for the tank to withstand traffic loads from a properly constructed roadway
This standard is not applicable for the storage of liquids having dangerous good classes listed in Table 1 because of the special dangers involved.

Foreword
This document (prEN 12285-1:2014) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 265 “Metallic tanks for
the storage of liquids”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 12285-1:2003.
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.
For relationship with EU Directive, see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this document.
This document will supersede EN 12285-1:2003.
Compared to EN 12285-1:2003, this draft has been restructured as follows:
Old Clause 3 Terms and definitions has been combined with old Clause 4 Symbols and abbreviations
Old Clause 5 Designation and purchaser's specification has been combined with new Clause 7 Classification
and designation
Old Clause 6 Materials, Clause 7 Design, Clause 8 Fabrication and Clause 10 Handling and installation have
been replaced by new Clause 4 Product characteristics
Old Clause 9 Testing has now become Clause 5 Testing, assessment and sampling methods
Old Clause 11 Marking of the tank and manufacturer's statement has now been combined with new Clause 8
Marking, labelling and packaging
In addition, prEN 12285-1 includes a new clause as follows:
Clause 6 Assessment and verification of constancy of performance (AVCP)
Furthermore, Annex ZA has been revised to align with the Construction Products Regulation (CPR) (305/2011).
Annex ZA does not apply to the tanks installed in industrial processes, nor in petrol stations as these products are
excluded from the mandate M/131 "Pipes, tanks and ancillaries not in contact with water intended for human
consumption" (see Annex I of the mandate M/131).
The informative annexes A and B give further guidance; A on transport, storage and installation procedures and B
on the liquid-material combinations to be chosen.
