Transportable gas cylinders - Battery vehicles and multiple-element gas containers (MEGCs) - Design, manufacture, identification and testing
This European Standard specifies the requirements for the design, manufacture, identification and testing of battery vehicles and multiple-element gas containers (MEGCs) containing cylinders, tubes or bundles of cylinders. It is applicable to battery vehicles containing compressed gas, liquefied gas and mixtures thereof. It is also applicable to battery vehicles for dissolved acetylene. This European Standard is not applicable to toxic gases with an LC50 value less than or equal to 200 ml/m3.
This European Standard applies also to battery vehicles and MEGCs containing bundles of cylinders connected by a manifold which are dis-assembled from the battery vehicle and filled individually.
This European Standard does not apply to battery vehicles and MEGCs containing pressure drums or tanks, or to multi-element gas containers (MEGCs).
This European Standard does not specify requirements for the vehicle chassis or motive unit.
This European standard does not cover requirements for sea transportation.
This European Standard is primarily intended for industrial gases other than Liquefied Petroleum Gases (LPG). At the time of publication of this European Standard, there is no European Standard for dedicated LPG battery vehicles.
Where there is any conflict between this European Standard and any applicable regulation, the regulation always takes precedence.

European foreword
This document (prEN 13807:2024) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 23
“Transportable gas cylinders”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI.
This document will supersede EN 13807:2017
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the
European Free Trade Association.
This document will be submitted for reference into the technical annexes of the ADR [15].
The main technical changes are:
a) clarification of scope;
b) revision of definitions;
c) clarification of operation temperature for the pressurized and non-pressurized components
d) more details in chapter mounting to clarify the request;
e) special requirement of forming the manifold in hydrogen service;
f) clarification of leakage check after assembling and initial filling with gas in use.
g) add an annex for vibration test
Introduction
For certain applications, transport units known as battery vehicles and MEGCs of non-UN pressure
receptacles are used to supply greater volumes of gas in a single unit.
A battery vehicle is a vehicle containing pressure receptacles which are linked to each other by a manifold
and permanently fixed to a transport unit.
General requirements for the design, construction, equipment, type approval, inspections and tests and
marking of battery vehicles are given in Chapter 6.8 and 9 of the ADR. Some specific or additional
requirements are given in this document.
In standards, weight is equivalent to a force, expressed in Newton. However, in common parlance (as
used in terms defined in this document), the word “weight” continues to be used to mean “mass”, but this
practice is deprecated (ISO 80000-4).
In this document, the unit bar is used, due to its universal use in the field of technical gases. It should,
however, be noted that bar is not an SI unit, and that the according SI unit for pressure is Pa
5 5 2
(1 bar = 10 Pa = 10 N/m ).
Pressure values given in this document are given as gauge pressure (pressure exceeding atmospheric
pressure) unless noted otherwise.
Where there is any conflict between this document and any applicable regulation, the regulation always
takes precedence.

It is applicable to battery vehicles and MEGCs containing compressed gas, liquefied gas, and mixtures
thereof. It is also applicable to battery vehicles for dissolved acetylene. This document is not applicable
to battery vehicles and MEGC for toxic gases with an LC value less than or equal to 200 ml/m .
This document does not apply to battery vehicles and MEGCs containing pressure drums or tanks.
This document does not specify requirements for the vehicle chassis or motive unit.
This document is primarily intended for industrial gases other than Liquefied Petroleum Gases (LPG).
