Frequently Asked Questions
An EU Directive is a legislative act of the European Union that sets out goals that all EU member states must achieve. However, it is up to each member state to devise their own laws on how to reach these goals through national transposition. Directives are used to harmonize laws across the EU, particularly for the functioning of the single market.
Directive 94/63/EC covers "Control of volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions resulting from the storageof petrol and its distribution from terminals to service stations". There are 8 standards associated with this directive.
Harmonized standards under 94/63/EC are European standards (ENs) developed by CEN, CENELEC, or ETSI in response to a mandate from the European Commission. When these standards are cited in the Official Journal of the European Union, products manufactured in conformity with them benefit from a presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of 94/63/EC, facilitating CE marking and free movement within the European Economic Area.

This European Standard specifies the following points regarding the minimum requirements for an overfill prevention system:
- functions;
- major components;
- characteristics;
- test methods.
This European Standard is applicable to overfill prevention systems for liquid fuels having a flash point up to but not exceeding 100 °C, excluding liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). The requirements apply to overfill prevention systems suitable for use at ambient temperatures in the range from - 20 °C to + 50 °C, subjected to normal operational pressure variations.
