Die vorliegende europäische Norm EN 13807:2017 befasst sich mit den Anforderungen an die Konstruktion, Herstellung, Kennzeichnung und Prüfung von transportablen Gaszylindern, insbesondere von Batteriefahrzeugen und Mehr-Element-Gasbehältern (MEGCs). Der Anwendungsbereich dieser Norm ist klar definiert und umfasst Fahrzeuge, die mit komprimierten Gasen, verflüssigten Gasen sowie deren Mischungen betrieben werden, einschließlich spezieller Anwendungen für gelöstes Acetylen. Eine der Stärken dieser Norm liegt in ihrer präzisen Festlegung der Anforderungen. So werden nicht nur die Aspekte der Sicherheit betont, sondern auch die Identifizierung und Prüfung der Gasbehälter, was für die Gewährleistung der Integrität und Funktionalität der Systeme von entscheidender Bedeutung ist. Dies ist insbesondere relevant für den industriellen Einsatz, wo hohe Sicherheitsstandards erforderlich sind. Zudem beschränkt die Norm den Anwendungsbereich klar auf nicht giftige Gase, was weitere Sicherheit erhöht, indem sie situationsbedingte Risiken minimiert. Ein weiterer positiver Aspekt ist die Flexibilität in Bezug auf die Struktur von Gasbehältern. Die Norm sieht vor, dass Batteriefahrzeuge und MEGCs, die aus mehreren Behältern bestehen, individualisiert befüllt und kombiniert werden können. Dies unterstützt kreative Lösungen für logistische Herausforderungen und optimiert die Nutzung der Ressourcen. Die Norm behandelt nicht die Anforderungen an Fahrgestelle oder Antriebseinheiten, was eine klare Abgrenzung und Konzentration auf die relevanten Typen von Gasbehältern ermöglicht. Auch wenn sie nicht für die Seetransportbedingungen gedacht ist, bleibt die EN 13807:2017 dennoch entscheidend für den Transport von Gasen auf dem Weg zwischen Herstellern und Industrieanwendern in einem klar definierten europäischen Rahmen. Zusammenfassend ist die EN 13807:2017 eine wesentliche Norm, die den Anforderungen an Batteriefahrzeuge und MEGCs gerecht wird. Ihre Relevanz im Bereich der Industriegase, insbesondere jenseits von verflüssigten Erdgasen (LPG), macht sie zu einem zentralen Dokument für alle Akteure, die im Umgang mit transportablen Gaszylindern tätig sind.
SIST EN 13807:2017 표준은 배터리 차량 및 다중 요소 가스 용기(MEGC)에 대한 설계, 제작, 식별 및 시험 요건을 규정하고 있습니다. 이 표준은 압축 가스, 액화 가스 및 이들의 혼합물을 포함하는 배터리 차량에 적용되며, 용해된 아세틸렌을 위한 배터리 차량에도 해당됩니다. 특히, 이 표준의 강점은 다양한 가스 용기를 다룰 수 있는 포괄적인 지침을 제공한다는 점입니다. 이 표준은 다중 요소 가스 용기(MEGC)의 구조적 요구 사항을 명확히 하고 있으며, 개별적으로 채워지는 실린더 묶음이 다중 요소 가스 용기와 연결된 경우에도 적용됩니다. 이로 인해 산업에서의 안전성과 효율성이 크게 향상됩니다. 또한, 유독가스를 포함하지 않기 때문에 특정한 위험을 효과적으로 관리할 수 있는 장점을 가지고 있습니다. SIST EN 13807:2017은 차량 섀시나 동력 장치에 대한 요건을 명시하지 않기 때문에, 제조업체들이 자신의 설계와 생산 프로세스에 대해 더 큰 유연성을 가질 수 있도록 합니다. 이는 배터리 차량 및 MEGC의 디자인에서 혁신을 촉진할 수 있는 기회를 제공합니다. 그러나 이 표준이 해상 운송에 대한 요구 사항을 포함하지 않기 때문에, 해상 운송을 고려하는 기업은 별도의 규정을 따를 필요가 있습니다. 발행 당시 이 표준은 액화 석유 가스(LPG)를 대상으로 한 배터리 차량에 대한 특정한 유럽 표준이 없다는 점도 주목할 만합니다. 이는 향후 LPG 관련된 산업에서도 필요성과 중요성이 높아질 수 있는 여지를 보여줍니다. 이러한 이유로 SIST EN 13807:2017 표준은 산업 가스와 관련된 안전한 설계 및 운영에 대한 중요한 지침을 제공하며, 배터리 차량 및 다중 요소 가스 용기(MEGC)의 제조업체 및 사용자에게 필수적인 기준으로 자리 잡고 있습니다.
La norme EN 13807:2017 offre un cadre normatif essentiel pour la conception, la fabrication, l'identification et les tests des véhicules à batterie et des conteneurs de gaz à éléments multiples (MEGCs) qui contiennent des cylindres, des tubes ou des faisceaux de cylindres. Cette norme européenne s'applique spécifiquement aux véhicules à batterie utilisant des gaz comprimés, des gaz liquéfiés, ainsi que des mélanges de ceux-ci, ce qui en fait un outil vital pour assurer la sécurité et la conformité dans l'industrie des gaz. L'un des points forts de cette norme réside dans sa portée clairement définie, qui inclut non seulement les véhicules à batterie pour les gaz compressés et liquéfiés mais aussi ceux pour l'acétylène dissous. De plus, elle prend en compte les MEGCs contenant des faisceaux de cylindres connectés par un collecteur, qui peuvent être démontés de leur véhicule de batterie et remplis individuellement. Cela élargit considérablement l'application de la norme et renforce la sécurité lors des manipulations et des remplissages. La norme exclut également clairement certaines catégories, comme les véhicules à batterie contenant des fûts ou des cuves sous pression, ainsi que ceux pour les gaz toxiques dont la valeur LC50 est inférieure ou égale à 200 ml/m3. Cette distinction précise permet de concentrer les efforts sur les applications les plus pertinentes tout en évitant les confusions liées à des réglementations inappropriées. Un autre aspect crucial de la norme EN 13807:2017 est son orientation vers les gaz industriels, à l'exclusion des gaz de pétrole liquéfiés (GPL), ce qui est particulièrement pertinent étant donné l'absence d'une norme européenne dédiée pour les véhicules à batterie de GPL au moment de sa publication. Cela souligne l'importance de cette spécification pour les secteurs industriels qui n’ont pas encore de normes équivalentes. Enfin, la norme affirme que, en cas de conflit avec toute réglementation applicable, la réglementation prévaut toujours. Cela renforce la fiabilité et la conformité des normes, garantissant que toutes les parties prenantes s’alignent sur les meilleures pratiques et les exigences de sécurité les plus strictes dans le domaine du transport de gaz. En somme, la norme EN 13807:2017 représente un pilier incontournable pour la conception et le fonctionnement sécurisés des véhicules à batterie et des MEGCs, répondant ainsi à des exigences contemporaines dans le secteur des gaz industriels tout en maintenant un haut niveau de sécurité.
EN 13807:2017は、バッテリー車両および多要素ガス容器（MEGC）の設計、製造、識別と試験に関する要求事項を規定した欧州規格です。この標準は、圧縮ガス、液化ガスおよびその混合物を含むバッテリー車両に適用され、具体的には溶解アセチレン用のバッテリー車両にも関連しています。また、メインフォールドで接続されたシリンダーの束を含むバッテリー車両およびMEGCにも適用され、これらはバッテリー車両から分解され、個別に充填される形式を取ります。 この標準の強みは、その包括的な要求事項にあり、設計と製造における安全性を高めるための具体的な基準を設けていることです。また、特に産業用ガスに重点を置いているため、流動パラフィンガス（LPG）以外のガス用途において重要な指針となります。ただし、LPG専用のバッテリー車両に関する欧州標準が存在しないため、この標準は特定の用途に際して注意が必要です。 EN 13807:2017は、機器の識別と試験を標準化することで、業界内での一貫した品質を確保し、ユーザーが信頼できる製品を利用できるようにサポートします。また、規制との整合性を考慮し、あらゆる適用規制がこの標準よりも優先されることにより、安全基準の遵守が促進されています。このように、EN 13807:2017は、バッテリー車両とMEGCが安全かつ効果的に運用されるための関連性が高く、特に工業用ガス分野において重要な役割を果たしています。
The EN 13807:2017 standard provides a comprehensive framework for the design, manufacture, identification, and testing of transportable gas cylinders specifically concerning battery vehicles and multiple-element gas containers (MEGCs). Its scope is well-defined and precise, focusing on vehicles containing compressed gases, liquefied gases, and mixtures, while explicitly excluding those designed for toxic gases with an LC50 value of less than or equal to 200 ml/m3. This clarity enhances its applicability in various industrial contexts, ensuring that users can easily determine its relevance to their operations. One of the key strengths of this standard is its emphasis on safety and compliance, as it establishes clear guidelines for the construction of battery vehicles that utilize gas cylinders, tubes, or bundles. This is particularly important in industries where the handling of industrial gases is critical, ensuring that all equipment is manufactured to a high standard of safety and reliability. Furthermore, the standard addresses battery vehicles that involve disassembling MEGCs and filling individual cylinders, which adds a layer of flexibility and practicality in operations. The exclusion of certain components, such as pressure drums, tanks, and multi-element gas containers (which fall outside its purview), helps refine the focus of EN 13807:2017, allowing manufacturers and users to concentrate on the core requirements pertinent to transportable gas cylinders. This concentrated approach ensures that the standard is both relevant and applicable, without being unnecessarily complicated by elements that are not directly related to the intended use. Additionally, the document incorporates a recognition of existing regulations, stating that in case of conflicts, applicable regulations take precedence. This aspect is vital as it underscores the importance of adhering to local laws and guidelines while using the EN 13807:2017 as a baseline for safety and design specifications. Overall, EN 13807:2017 serves as an essential standard within the European context for industries handling transportable gas cylinders, particularly in scenarios involving industrial gases. Its strengths lie in its clear definition of scope, focus on safety and compliance, practical applicability, and alignment with regulatory frameworks, making it a relevant and necessary reference for manufacturers and users in the field of gas transport.
