Tanks for the transport of dangerous goods - Metallic pressure tanks - Design and construction
This European Standard specifies the minimum requirements for the design and construction of metallic pressure tanks having a maximum working or test pressure exceeding 50 kPa (0,5 bar), for the transport of dangerous goods by road and rail and sea. This European Standard includes requirements for openings,closures and structural equipment; it does not cover requirements of service equipment. For tanks for the
transport of cryogenic liquids, EN 13530-1 and EN 13530-2 apply.
NOTE 1 Design and construction of pressure tanks according to the scope of this European Standard are primarily subject to the requirements of RID/ADR, 6.8.2.1, 6.8.3.1 and 6.8.5, as relevant. In addition, the relevant requirements of RID/ADR, columns 12 and 13 of Table A to chapter 3.2, 4.3 and 6.8.2.4 apply. For the structural equipment subsections 6.8.2.2 and 6.8.3.2 apply, as relevant. The definitions of RID/ADR 1.2.1 are referred to. For portable tanks see also Chapter 4.2 and Sections 6.7.2 and 6.7.3 of RID and ADR. In addition, the relevant requirements of RID/ADR, columns 10 and 11 of Table A to Chapter 3.2, 4.2, 6.7.2 and 6.7.3 apply. The paragraph numbers above relate to the 2013 issue of RID/ADR which are subject to regular revisions. This can lead to temporary non-compliances with EN 14025. It is
important to know that requirements of RID/ADR take precedence over any clause of this standard.
NOTE 2 This standard is applicable to liquefied gases including LPG, however for a dedicated LPG standard see EN 12493.
If not otherwise specified, provisions which take up the whole width of the page apply to all kind of tanks.
Provisions contained in a single column apply only to:
road and rail pressure tanks according to RID/ADR chapter 6.8 (left-hand column); ortable tanks according to RID/ADR chapter 6.7 right-hand column).

Overview
EN 14025:2013/prA1 - "Tanks for the transport of dangerous goods - Metallic pressure tanks - Design and construction" (CEN) defines minimum requirements for the design and construction of metallic pressure tanks used to transport dangerous goods by road, rail and sea. It applies to tanks with a maximum working or test pressure exceeding 50 kPa (0.5 bar) and covers openings, closures and structural equipment (service equipment is excluded). The 2015 draft amendment (prA1) adds an informative Annex B on explosion pressure shock resistant design and makes several technical corrections to calculation and layout clauses.
Key topics and requirements
- Scope: metallic pressure tanks for transport (road, rail, sea); portable tanks addressed separately per RID/ADR.
- Pressure threshold: applies where maximum working/test pressure > 50 kPa (0.5 bar).
- Design and construction rules for tank shells, openings, closures and structural equipment; service equipment is not included.
- Interaction with transport regulations: provisions reference and defer to RID/ADR (chapters 6.7 / 6.8 and table columns), and RID/ADR requirements take precedence over conflicting clauses in the standard.
- Cryogenic liquids: EN 13530‑1 and EN 13530‑2 apply for cryogenic tank design.
- Liquefied gases: EN 14025 covers liquefied gases including LPG, but dedicated LPG requirements are in EN 12493.
- Amendment (prA1) - Annex B (informative): introduces criteria for explosion pressure shock resistant tanks, including:
- Definition and objective (resist internal explosion without bursting; permanent deformation allowed).
- Experimental verification (explosion test on representative specimen) or calculation-based verification using a specified maximum explosion pressure (the document cites an example maximum explosion pressure of 9.7 bar (absolute) for an 8.0 vol% ethylene/air mixture).
- Design and test acceptance options, e.g. hydraulic testing at 1.3 × maximum explosion pressure, and partition testing requirements (test at ~8.7 bar on convex side).
- Cross-referenced standards: EN 14460 (explosion resistant equipment) and others are referenced for specific methods and limits.
Applications and users
Who uses EN 14025:
- Tank designers and mechanical engineers specifying metallic pressure tanks for transport
- Tank manufacturers and fabricators implementing construction and testing regimes
- Certification bodies and notified inspection authorities performing type approval and conformity assessment
- Transport operators, fleet owners and compliance teams ensuring RID/ADR conformity
- Regulatory and safety engineers assessing explosion-resistant design options
Practical uses:
- Establishing minimum wall thicknesses, openings and structural arrangements for pressure tanks
- Defining design load cases and testing strategies (hydraulic and explosion-resistance tests)
- Demonstrating conformity with European transport regulations for dangerous goods
Related standards
- EN 13530‑1 / EN 13530‑2 - cryogenic tanks
- EN 12493 - dedicated LPG tanks
- EN 14460 - explosion resistant equipment
- RID / ADR (transport regulations) - take precedence over EN 14025 where applicable
Keywords: EN 14025:2013, metallic pressure tanks, transport of dangerous goods, tank design and construction, explosion pressure shock resistant, RID/ADR, EN 14460, EN 13530, LPG.
