European foreword
This document (EN 17339:2020) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 23
“Transportable gas cylinders”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI.
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 December 2020, and conflicting national
standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by December 2020.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 has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission
and the European Free Trade Association.
This document has been submitted for reference in:
— the RID; and
— the technical annexes of the ADR.
NOTE These regulations take precedence over any clause of this document. It is emphasised that
RID/ADR are being revised regularly at intervals of two years which may lead to temporary non-
compliances with the clauses of this document.
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.
Introduction
The purpose of this document is to provide a specification for the design, manufacture, inspection
and testing of refillable, transportable carbon fully wrapped composite cylinders and tubes filled
with hydrogen and protected in a frame such as a bundle or a trailer.
The specifications given are based on knowledge of, and experience with, materials, design
requirements, manufacturing processes and control during manufacture of cylinders and tubes
in common use in the countries of the CEN members.
For gas cylinders covered by RID/ADR, the maximum service pressure (maximum developed
pressure at 65 °C) should not exceed the test pressure. Consequently the safety factor applies to
the test pressure since, whatever the gas, the maximum developed pressure (p ) is, in any case,
max
lower than or equal to the test pressure.
This document only covers compressed hydrogen (dedicated service), therefore, the safety factor
is applied to the maximum developed pressure at 65 °C (p ), which is the maximum accepted
max
temperature by transport regulations.
1 Scope
This document specifies minimum requirements for the materials, design, construction,
prototype testing and routine manufacturing inspections of composite gas cylinders and tubes
for compressed hydrogen.
NOTE 1 Unless specified in the text, for the purposes of this document, the word “cylinder” includes
tubes.
This document applies only to fully wrapped composite cylinders with carbon fibres intended to
be permanently mounted in a frame (e.g. bundle or trailer) with a test pressure of not less than
300 bar, with:
— non-metallic liners or seamless metallic liners;
— a maximum water capacity of 3 000 l;
— a maximum working pressure of 1 000 bar;
— the product of working pressure times water capacity (p × V) not exceeding 1 000 000 bar.l.
NOTE 2 A glass fibre protective layer is sometimes applied to the external surface of the cylinder.
