This European Standard was approved by CEN on 9 September 2019.

CEN members are bound to comply with the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations which stipulate the conditions for giving this
European Standard the status of a national standard without any alteration. Up-to-date lists and bibliographical references
concerning such national standards may be obtained on application to the CEN-CENELEC Management Centre or to any CEN
member.
This European Standard exists in three official versions (English, French, German). A version in any other language made by

European foreword
This document (EN 12641-2:2019) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 119
“Intermodal Loading Units and Cargo Securing (ILUCS)”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an
identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by June 2020, and conflicting national standards shall be
withdrawn at the latest by June 2020.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document supersedes EN 12641-2:2006.
The main technical changes in comparison to the previous edition are:
— the addition of clause 3 ‘Terms and definitions’;
— the elimination of the discord between text and formula in the old clause 3.3, now clause 4.3;
— the wire hook has been added;
— the description of the testing methods has been adjusted to the reality and the mass per unit area of
the tarpaulin material (g/m²) was added on the marking.
According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the
following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria,
Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland,
Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Republic of
North Macedonia, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the
United Kingdom.
1 Scope
This document specifies minimum requirements for the strength and attachment of tarpaulins used as
curtainsiders on intermodal loading units and commercial vehicles.
NOTE The described tarpaulins according to this document only work for load securing with a body
according to EN12642, Code XL or EN 283.

4 Requirements
4.1 General
The following minimum requirements regarding tarpaulin design and attachment to the swap body or
commercial vehicle shall be met.
4.2 Materials
The quality of the materials used shall be such that the resulting product will conform to the
requirements of Table 1 and ensure uniformity of the performance.
