Foreword
This document (EN 14398-3:2003) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 268 “Cryogenic vessels”,
the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR.
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by endorsement, at the latest by February 2004, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest
by February 2004.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European
Free Trade Association, and supports the objectives of the framework Directives on Transport of Dangerous
Goods.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European
Free Trade Association, and supports the objectives of the framework Directives on Transport of Dangerous
Goods.
This European Standard has been submitted for reference into the RID and/or in the technical annexes of the ADR.
Therefore in this context the standards listed in the normative references and covering basic requirements of the
RID/ADR not addressed within the present standard are normative only when the standards themselves are
referred to in the RID and/or in the technical annexes of the ADR.
EN 14398 consists of the following parts under the general title, Cryogenic vessels – Large transportable non
vacuum insulated vessels :
Part 1 : Fundamental requirements;
Part 2 : Design, fabrication, inspection and testing;
Part 3 : Operational requirements.
The annexes A and B are informative.
This document includes a Bibliography.
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following
countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland,
France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal,
Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
Introduction
Elements of this standard support the requirements of the framework Directives on Transport of Dangerous Goods
and other international, national or local requirements.
Large transportable cryogenic vessels are often partly equipped by the manufacturer, but can be installed or re-
installed by another party, such as the operator user or owner. For this reason some of the scope of this European
Standard, which includes putting into service, inspection, filling, maintenance and emergency procedure overlaps
with some of the Parts 1 and 2 of EN 14398.
Operational requirements for the usage of these vessels on public road, rail, sea and air are not covered in this
standard, but are defined in other international, national or local requirements.
1 Scope
1.1 This European Standard specifies operational requirements for large transportable non vacuum insulated
cryogenic vessels of more than 1000 l volume.
1.2 This European Standard applies to vessels designed for cryogenic fluids specified in EN 14398-1.
2 Normative references
This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These
normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text, and the publications are listed hereafter. For
dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this European
Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references the latest edition of the
publication referred to applies (including amendments).
