Overview

EN 12162:2001/prA1 is a CEN draft amendment to the European standard EN 12162:2001 titled Liquid pumps - Safety requirements - Procedure for hydrostatic testing. Prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 197 (Pumps), this prA1 amendment clarifies the standard’s relationship with EU machinery directives and updates informative annexes. The document describes the procedural and safety framework for performing hydrostatic pressure tests on liquid pumps and is intended to support conformity assessment and risk reduction related to pump pressure integrity. Note: the prA1 text was released as a draft for unique acceptance (December 2008) and was not to be used as a finalized European Standard until approved.

Key topics and requirements

• Scope and subject: Safety requirements and procedural guidance for hydrostatic testing of liquid pumps.
• Hydrostatic test procedure: Provides a standardized approach to carrying out hydrostatic pressure tests (test preparation, execution and safety controls). Specific technical parameters (e.g., pressures, media) are determined by the pump design and documented normative clauses in EN 12162.
• Safety measures: Emphasis on protecting personnel and equipment during pressurized testing through suitable guarding, isolation, controlled filling/venting and monitoring.
• Conformity linkage: Amendment replaces Annex ZA and adds Annex ZB to explicitly link the standard to EU Directives:
  • Relationship with Machinery Directive 98/37/EC (via Annex ZA)
  • Relationship with Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC (via new Annex ZB)
• Presumption of conformity: Compliance with the normative clauses-except clauses 13.2 and 13.3-confers a presumption of conformity with Essential Requirements 1.3.2 and 1.5.13 of the referenced directives, within the standard’s scope.
• Regulatory notice: The draft includes a warning that other EU directives or national requirements may also apply.

Applications and users

Who benefits from using EN 12162/prA1:

• Pump manufacturers - to demonstrate safe design and validate pressure containment for CE marking pathways.
• Testing laboratories and quality teams - to implement consistent hydrostatic test procedures and recordkeeping.
• Certification bodies and conformity assessors - to assess compliance with Machinery Directive essential requirements.
• Plant engineers, maintenance and safety officers - to ensure safe in‑service testing and commissioning of pumps.

Practical uses include type testing, acceptance testing after manufacture or repair, and part of a CE conformity strategy where pressure integrity and personnel safety are essential.

Related standards

• EN 12162:2001 (base standard)
• EU Machinery Directives 98/37/EC and 2006/42/EC (referenced in Annexes ZA and ZB)

This draft amendment is submitted to CEN members for unique acceptance procedure. It has been drawn up by the Technical Committee
CEN/TC 197.
This draft amendment A1, if approved, will modify the European Standard EN 12162:2001. If this draft becomes an amendment, CEN
members are bound to comply with the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations which stipulate the conditions for inclusion of this amendment
into the relevant national standard without any alteration.
This draft amendment was established by CEN in three official versions (English, French, German). A version in any other language made
by translation under the responsibility of a CEN member into its own language and notified to the CEN Management Centre has the same
status as the official versions.
