CEN/TC 286/WG 5 - Operational requirements - Transport of LPG tanks by road or by rail

This document specifies minimum requirements for the inspection and testing of the LPG road tanker, which includes its pressure vessel, accessories and vehicle LPG equipment.
This document does not apply to compartmented road tankers.
NOTE 1   There is no upper size limit for the pressure vessel as this will be determined by the gross vehicle weight limitation.
NOTE 2   For further information on inspection and testing requirements of equipment other than the pressure vessel, accessories and vehicle LPG equipment, see applicable regulations.

This document specifies procedures for filling, discharge and handling operations as well as emergency procedures for rail tankers used for the transport of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG).
This document does not apply to “tank containers” and “batteries of receptacles”.

This document specifies filling, discharge and emergency procedures for road tankers equipped in accordance with EN 12252 used for the transport of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG).
This document does not apply to “batteries of receptacles”.

This document specifies equipment and accessories for road tankers used for the transport of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) and identifies the equipment that is considered necessary to ensure that filling, transportation and discharge operations can be carried out safely. It specifies the requirements for the assembly of the accessories and the vehicle LPG equipment to the road tanker. This document also identifies additional equipment and accessories that can be used on road tankers carrying LPG.
This document does not preclude the use of alternative designs, materials and equipment testing which provide the same or a higher level of safety. ADR [9] requires that such alternative technical codes be recognized by the competent authority, provided that the minimum requirements of section 6.8.2 of ADR [9] are complied with.
This document does not apply to “tank-containers” or “battery-vehicles” used for the transport of LPG.
