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of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by July 2010, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by July 2010. 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. Users of this standard, prepared in the field of application of Article 118A of the EC Treaty, should be aware that standards have no formal legal relationship with Directives that may have been made under Article 118A of the Treaty. In addition, national legislation in the Member states may contain more stringent requirements than the minimum requirements of a Directive based on Article 118A. Information on the relationship between the national legislation implementing Directives based on Article 118A and this EN may be given in a national foreword of the national standard implementing this EN. This document supersedes EN 12817:2002 and EN 12818:2002. The main modifications concern the following: merging of two European Standards: EN 12817:2002 and EN 12818:2002; improvement of Annex C which becomes normative; a new clause: Clause 2, Normative references.

EN 12817:2010 (E) 6 Introduction Periodic inspection and requalification regimes for LPG tanks up to and including 13 m3 have developed in various countries in different ways that range from defined to variable inspection periods with requalification regimes achieved by various methods. This European Standard for periodic inspection and requalification is based on European countries’ legislation and codes of practice and industry codes of practice. In addition, use of LPG in different applications has encouraged the industry to approach the requirements for routine periodic inspection and requalification in different ways for each application. This European Standard calls for the use of substances and procedures that can be injurious to health if adequate precautions are not taken. It refers to technical suitability and does not absolve the user from legal obligations relating to health and safety at any stage. It has been assumed in the drafting of this European Standard that execution of its provisions is entrusted to appropriately qualified and experienced people. SIST EN 12817:2010
EN 12817:2010 (E) 7 1 Scope This European Standard specifies requirements for: a) routine inspection, periodic inspection and requalification of fixed LPG storage tanks of sizes from 150 l up to and including 13 m3, and associated fittings; b) marking tanks and/or keeping records, as appropriate, as a result of routine inspection, periodic inspection and requalification. This European Standard excludes refrigerated storage. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.
