Overview
EN 13175:2019/prA1:2020 is a European CEN standard that sets minimum requirements for the design, testing and production testing of valves and appropriate fittings fitted to mobile or static Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) pressure vessels with a water capacity above 150 L. The standard covers construction, functional testing and production quality checks for pressure-vessel valves and fittings used in LPG equipment and accessories. It explicitly excludes pressure relief valves and their ancillary equipment, contents gauges, automotive LPG components, and does not apply to refineries or other process plants.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope limitations: Applies only to LPG pressure vessel valves and fittings connected to vessels >150 L water capacity; excludes relief devices, gauges and automotive or refinery components.
- Design requirements: Minimum design principles for safe connection and operation of valves and fittings on LPG pressure vessels.
- Type and production testing: Specifies tests for performance, leakage, mechanical integrity and production sampling to ensure ongoing conformity.
- Transport protection (amendment prA1:2020): Clause 6.1.6 was amended to clarify protection for valves and fittings in transport applications - valves (including internal stop-valves and seating) must be protected against being wrenched off by external stresses (referencing ADR requirements for transportable containers).
- Standards development: Prepared by CEN/TC 286 (LPG equipment and accessories); published in English/French/German with national translations permitted.
Practical applications and users
This standard is intended for organizations and professionals involved with LPG pressure vessel valves and fittings, including:
- Manufacturers of LPG pressure vessel valves and fittings - for product design and factory testing procedures.
- Testing laboratories and quality control teams - to perform type tests and production testing required for compliance.
- Equipment specifiers and system integrators - to select compliant valves and fittings for mobile and static LPG vessels.
- Distributors, transporters and fleet operators - to ensure valve protection in transport applications in line with ADR and EN 13175 requirements.
- Regulators and conformity assessment bodies - for assessing compliance with European requirements for LPG vessel valves.
Related standards and references
- ADR (European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road) - relevant for transport protection requirements.
- National/adopted EN standards and other CEN documents dealing with LPG equipment, pressure vessels and valves.
