This standard excludes the specific requirements for filling acetylene. Cryogenic gases are excluded.
Orstbewegliche Gasflaschen - Bedingungen für das Füllen von Gasen in Gefäße - Einzelne Gase
Diese Europäische Norm legt allgemeine Anforderungen (wie Füllungsgrad usw.) für das Befüllen von Gefäßen und miteinander verbundenen Gasflaschen (Bündel), Großflaschen und Fässern mit einzelnen Gasen fest.
Die Norm gilt nicht für die besonderen Anforderungen zum Füllen von Acetylen-Flaschen; tiefkalte Gase sind ebenfalls ausgeschlossen.
Für die Anforderungen zum Füllen mit Gasgemischen sollte prEN 13099 beachtet werden.
Diese Norm gilt in erster Linie für andere Industriegase als Flüssiggas (LPG), sie kann aber auch für Flüssiggas angewendet werden. Für besondere Flaschen für Flüssiggas (LPG) sollte jedoch EN 1439 "Ortsveränderliche, wiederbefüllbare Flaschen aus geschweißten Stahl für Flüssiggas-Kontrollverfahren vor, während und nach dem Füllen" beachtet werden, die vom CEN/TC 286 "Flüssiggas-Geräte und Ausrüstungsteile" erarbeitet wurde.
Bouteilles à gaz transportables - Conditions de remplissage des récipients - Gaz à composant unique
La présente Norme européenne spécifie les exigences générales de remplissage (telles que la pression, le taux de remplissage, etc.) des récipients contenant des gaz purs, tubes et fûts ou bouteilles à gaz en batteries reliées entre elles par une rampe, avec des gaz à composant unique.
La présente norme exclut les exigences spécifiques de remplissage des bouteilles d'acétylène ainsi que les gaz cryogéniques.
Il convient de consulter l'EN 13099 pour les exigences de remplissage s'appliquant aux mélanges de gaz.
La présente norme concerne principalement des gaz industriels autres que le GPL, mais elle peut aussi s'appliquer au GPL. Cependant, pour les bouteilles dédiées au GPL, il convient de consulter l'EN 1439, Bouteilles en acier soudé transportables et rechargeables pour gaz de pétrole liquéfié (GPL) - Procédures de vérification avant, pendant et après le remplissage, préparée par le CEN/TC 286 - Équipements pour gaz de pétrole liquéfié et leurs accessoires.

EN 13096:2003 - Transportable gas cylinders (single component gases)
Overview
EN 13096:2003 is a CEN European Standard that specifies the general requirements for filling transportable gas cylinders and manifold (bundle) cylinders with single component gases. The standard covers core filling principles such as charging pressure and filling factor, and defines the scope of safe and consistent filling practices for non-cryogenic, non-acetylene gases. Cryogenic gases and acetylene are explicitly excluded.
Key topics and technical requirements
The standard sets out general, practical requirements for safe filling operations. Key topics include:
- Charging pressure and filling factor considerations for single-component gases
- Requirements applicable to both individual cylinders and manifolded cylinder bundles
- Operational controls to ensure safe and repeatable filling procedures
- Measures to maintain gas purity and prevent contamination during filling
- Mechanical and procedural checks to reduce leak and overpressure risks
- Documentation, marking and traceability practices associated with filled cylinders
Note: EN 13096:2003 defines these general requirements; for substance-specific hazards (for example acetylene) or cryogenic handling, separate standards apply.
Applications
EN 13096:2003 is used to ensure consistent, safe filling of transportable gas cylinders across industrial and commercial environments:
- Industrial gas producers and filling stations
- Cylinder bundle manufacturers and operators
- Gas distributors and logistics providers handling filled cylinders
- Quality, safety and compliance teams implementing filling procedures
- Service and maintenance organizations that handle cylinder refills
Using this standard helps reduce safety risks, improve filling quality, and maintain regulatory compliance when dealing with single component gaseous products.
Who should use this standard
- Filling plant managers and engineers
- Health, safety and environment (HSE) professionals
- Quality assurance and regulatory compliance officers
- Equipment manufacturers (valves, manifolds, compressors)
- Training coordinators for cylinder filling operations
Related standards
- Refer to specific CEN/ISO standards for acetylene and cryogenic gas handling (excluded from EN 13096:2003)
- Consult national regulations and additional CEN safety standards for pressure vessels and transportable cylinders for full regulatory compliance
