Overview
EN 13365:2002/A1:2005 (CEN) is a European standard that addresses inspection at the time of filling for transportable gas cylinder bundles used for permanent and liquefied gases (excluding acetylene). Amendment A1 (2005) updates the original EN 13365:2002 to respond to safety concerns when filling liquefied gases into bundles fitted with closable cylinder valves, and to align the standard for possible inclusion in transport regulations such as ADR/RID.
Key topics and requirements
- Scope: inspection procedures specifically at the moment of filling for transportable cylinder bundles (permanent and liquefied gases), acetylene excluded.
- Safety focus: prevention of overfilling of individual cylinders or the bundle as a whole when filling liquefied gases into bundles with closable valves.
- Mandatory options to ensure safe filling (as added by A1):
- Dismantle the bundle so each cylinder is individually filled one at a time, or
- Equip each cylinder with a filling control device that prevents overfilling.
- Inspection phases addressed:
- During filling - ensure correct procedures/devices are used to avoid overfill.
- After filling - confirm the bundle and no single cylinder (with a closable valve) has been overfilled.
- Regulatory intent: the amendment encourages consistency with broader transport safety frameworks and potential harmonization with ADR/RID requirements.
Applications
EN 13365:2002/A1:2005 is practical for organizations involved in the lifecycle of transportable gas cylinder bundles:
- Gas filling stations and cylinder filling operators - to implement safe filling procedures for liquefied gases.
- Cylinder bundle manufacturers and designers - to specify requirements for valve fittings and filling control devices.
- Inspection bodies and safety officers - to audit filling operations and verify compliance with overfill safeguards.
- Transport and logistics companies - to ensure filled bundles meet safety inspection criteria before carriage.
- Regulators and compliance teams - to reference when assessing harmonization with ADR/RID and national adoption.
Related standards and context
- EN 13385 (mentioned in the amendment) - related standard for cylinder bundle safety/inspection; both standards have been considered for inclusion in ADR/RID.
- EN 13365 is a CEN standard and national members are required to adopt the text; use it alongside applicable national regulations and transport codes (ADR/RID) for full compliance.
