European foreword
This document (EN 14564:2019) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 296 “Tanks for
the transport of dangerous goods”, 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 2020, and conflicting national standards
shall be withdrawn at the latest by February 2020.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 14564:2013.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the
European Free Trade Association.
This document provides uniform terminology for technical terms, which require definition in addition
to regulatory definitions based in RID/ADR, and specific terms defined in other standards on tanks for
transport of dangerous goods, prepared by CEN/TC 296.
Clause 3 defines general terms and Clause 4 defines specific terms.
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 provides additional terms and definitions to those written in the European Agreement
Concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR) or the Regulations
concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Rail (RID), appearing as Appendix C to the
Convention concerning International Carriage by Rail (COTIF).
This document forms part of series of documents prepared by CEN/TC 296 regarding the transport of
dangerous goods. The series supports the proper application of the ADR and RID.
This document is applicable to tanks used for the transport of dangerous goods.
This document does not apply to carriage in bulk of dangerous goods.
For convenience, Annex A (informative) repeats some horizontal definitions taken from ADR 2017
chapter 1.2, and Annex B (informative) repeats some definitions from ADR 2017 chapter 6.7, specific to
portable tanks.
NOTE The ADR is updated on a regular basis, therefore Annexes A and B might become out of date.
Annexes C, D and E (informative) provide alphabetical trilingual indexes of terms in English, French and
German where the key is English, French and German respectively.
Annex F (normative) is a schematic diagram of tank openings and closures according to the tank code.
2 Normative references
