This European Standard defines the minimum requirements for flame arresters fitted to tanks for the transport of dangerous goods.
This European Standard specifies the type of flame arrestor to be used for breather devices as part of the service equipment of fixed tanks and demountable tanks for the transport of liquid petroleum products. The equipment specified by this European Standard is suitable for use with liquid petroleum products and other dangerous substances of Class 3 of ADR which have a vapour pressure not exceeding 110 kPa at 50 °C and petrol, and which have no subclassification as toxic or corrosive. It also specifies the tests necessary to verify the compliance of the equipment with this European Standard.
Emergency pressure relief valves in accordance with EN 14596 are excluded from the requirements of this European Standard.
Tanks für die Beförderung gefährlicher Güter - Bedienungsausrüstung von Tanks - Flammensperren für Belüftungseinrichtungen
Diese Europäische Norm legt Mindestanforderungen an Flammendurchschlagsicherungen fest, die in Tanks für die Beförderung gefährlicher Güter eingebaut werden.
Diese Europäische Norm legt die Typen der Flammendurchschlagsicherungen fest, die für Belüftungseinrichtungen als Teil der Bedienungsausrüstung von Tankfahrzeugen (mit fest verbundenem Tank) und von Aufsetztanks für flüssige Erdölprodukte verwendet werden. Die in dieser Europäischen Norm festgelegte Einrichtung ist geeignet für die Anwendung mit flüssigen Erdölprodukten und anderen gefährlichen Stoffen der Klasse 3 nach ADR, deren Dampfdruck bei 50 °C 110 kPa nicht überschreitet und die weder als toxisch noch als korrosiv klassifiziert sind. Außerdem werden Prüfungen festgelegt, die zur Verifizierung der Übereinstimmung dieses Elements der Bedienungsausrüstung mit der vorliegenden Europäischen Norm notwendig sind.
Für Notentlastungsventile nach EN 14596 gelten die Anforderungen dieser Europäischen Norm nicht.
Citernes destinées au transport de matières dangereuses - Équipement de service pour citernes - Arrête-flammes pour dispositif de respiration
La présente Norme européenne prescrit les exigences minimales relatives aux arrête-flammes installés sur des citernes destinées au transport de matières dangereuses.
Elle spécifie l'endroit où les arrête-flammes doivent être installés, ainsi que des exigences en matière de performances applicables à ces dispositifs. Les essais à réaliser pour vérifier la conformité des équipements à cette norme y sont également prescrits. Les équipements spécifiés par la présente norme conviennent à une utilisation avec des produits pétroliers liquides et autres matières dangereuses de la classe 3 de l’ADR dont la tension de vapeur ne dépasse pas 110 kPa à 50 °C (y compris l’essence), et qui n’appartiennent à aucune sous-classification des produits toxiques ou corrosifs.
Les exigences spécifiées dans la présente Norme européenne ne s'appliquent pas aux clapets de surpression accidentelle conformes à l'EN 14596.
Cisterne za prevoz nevarnega blaga - Oprema za obratovanje cistern - Plamenske zapore za prezračevalne sisteme
EN 16522 določa minimalne zahteve za plamenske zapore, nameščene na cisterne za prevoz nevarnega blaga. Ta evropski standard določa vrsto plamenskih zapor za uporabo z oddušniki, ki so del opreme za obratovanje pritrjenih in odstranljivih cistern za prevoz tekočih naftnih proizvodov. Oprema, ki jo določa ta evropski standard, je primerna za uporabo s tekočimi naftnimi proizvodi in drugimi nevarnimi snovmi kategorije 3 ADR, katerih parni tlak ne presega 110 kPa pri 50 °C, ter z motornim bencinom, pri čemer niso dodatno opredeljeni kot strupeni ali korozivni. Določa tudi preskuse, potrebne za preverjanje skladnosti opreme s tem evropskim standardom. Iz zahtev tega evropskega standarda so izvzeti tlačni varnostni ventili v sili v skladu s standardom EN 14596.

Overview
EN 16522:2014 - "Tanks for transport of dangerous goods - Service equipment for tanks - Flame arresters for breather devices" is a CEN European Standard that defines the minimum requirements and test criteria for flame arresters fitted to tanks used in the transport of liquid petroleum products and other ADR Class 3 substances. It applies where vapour pressure does not exceed 110 kPa at 50 °C and to petrol, provided the substance has no toxic or corrosive subclassification. Emergency pressure relief valves covered by EN 14596 are explicitly excluded.
Key topics and requirements
- Function: The flame arrester must prevent immediate passage of flame into the tank shell, meeting ADR safety intent.
- Types and testing: Specifies flame arrester types for different installations:
- End-of-line deflagration (direct communication with atmosphere) - testing per EN ISO 16852 clause for deflagration.
- Detonation (DET3) for connection to pipework - testing per EN ISO 16852 clauses for stable detonation and restricted systems.
- Standards referenced: Core test methods and performance limits align with EN ISO 16852:2010. Materials of construction are required to comply with the referenced material specification provisions (manufacturer must provide full material details).
- Marking and documentation: Mandatory markings (or accompanying certificate when size prohibits marking) include reference to EN 16522, manufacturer name/type, serial/date, protected side (if directional), type identifier (“DEF” or “DET3”), burn rating (“BCc”), operational temperature T0, and maximum operational pressure p0, plus warnings about application limits.
- Materials and sustainability: Materials must be suitable for the substances in scope; manufacturers are encouraged to use recyclable and sustainable materials where possible.
Practical applications and users
EN 16522 is intended for:
- Tank manufacturers and component suppliers designing breather devices and flame arresters for fixed and demountable road tanks
- Transport operators and fleet managers ensuring service equipment complies with ADR and European requirements
- Certification bodies and notified bodies conducting conformity testing and type approval
- Inspectors and maintenance personnel verifying correct installation, marking, and operational limits Use cases include venting and breather systems on fuel tankers, storage tanks mounted on vehicles, and pipeline interfaces where flame propagation risk exists.
