This document specifies minimum requirements for material, design, construction and workmanship, testing and examination during the manufacture of transportable refillable welded aluminium liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cylinders, having a water capacity from 0,5 l up to and including 150 l, exposed to ambient temperature.

This document:
—   specifies minimum requirements for materials, design, construction, prototype testing and routine manufacturing inspections of fully wrapped composite cylinders with a water capacity from 0,5 litre up to and including 150 litres for liquefied petroleum gases (LPG) exposed to ambient temperatures, with a test pressure of at least 30 bar;
—   is only applicable to cylinders which are fitted with a pressure relief valve (see 4.1.3);
—   is applicable to cylinders with a liner of metallic material (welded or seamless) or non-metallic material (or a mixture thereof), reinforced by fibres of glass, carbon or aramid (or a mixture thereof);
—   is also applicable to composite cylinders without liners.
Cylinders manufactured to this document are suitable for temperatures down to −40 °C.
This document does not address the design, fitting and performance of removable protective sleeves. Where these are fitted, the choice of material and sleeve performance are expected to be considered separately.

This document specifies stamp marking requirements for transportable refillable LPG cylinders and metallic drums including:
- Steel LPG cylinders designed and manufactured in accordance with EN 1442, EN 14140, EN 12807 or an equivalent standard or technical code recognized by the Competent Authority.
