(Main)LPG equipment and accessories - Equipping of LPG road tankers
LPG equipment and accessories - Equipping of LPG road tankers
This European Standard specifies equipment and accessories for road tankers used for the transport of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) and identifies the equipment that is considered necessary to ensure that filling, transportation and discharge operations can be carried out safely. It specifies the requirements for the assembly of the accessories and the vehicle LPG equipment to the road tanker. This European Standard also identifies additional equipment and accessories that can be used on road tankers carrying LPG.
This European Standard does not preclude the use of alternative designs, materials and equipment testing which provide the same or a higher level of safety. ADR [9] requires that such alternative technical codes be recognised by the competent authority, provided that the minimum requirements of section 6.8.2 of ADR [9] are complied with.
This European Standard does not apply to “tank-containers” or “battery-vehicles” used for the transport of LPG.
Flüssiggas-Geräte und Ausrüstungsteile - Ausrüstung von Straßentankwagen für Flüssiggas (LPG)
Diese Europäische Norm legt die Ausrüstung und Ausrüstungsteile von Straßentankwagen fest, die für die Beförderung von Flüssiggas (LPG) eingesetzt werden, und gibt die für die sichere Durchführung von Füll-, Beförderungs- und Entleerungsvorgängen erforderliche Ausrüstung an. Sie legt die Anforderungen an die Montage der Ausrüstungsteile und der LPG-Fahrzeugausrüstung an den Straßentankwagen fest. Diese Europäische Norm gibt ebenfalls zusätzliche Ausrüstung und Ausrüstungsteile an, die auf mit LPG beladenen Straßentankwagen verwendet werden kann.
Diese Europäische Norm schließt die Verwendung alternativer Auslegungen, Werkstoffe und Ausrüstungen nicht aus, sofern diese das gleiche oder ein höheres Sicherheitsniveau aufweisen. Das ADR [9] fordert, dass ein solches alternatives technisches Regelwerk durch die zuständige Behörde anerkannt werden muss, wobei dabei vorausgesetzt wird, dass die in Abschnitt 6.8.2 des ADR [9] angegebenen Mindestanforderungen durch dieses Regelwerk erfüllt werden.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt nicht für ebenfalls zur Beförderung von LPG verwendete „Tankcontainer“ oder „Batteriefahrzeuge“.
Équipements pour GPL et leurs accessoires - Équipements des camions citernes pour GPL
La présente Norme européenne spécifie les équipements et accessoires pour camions-citernes destinés au transport de gaz de pétrole liquéfié (GPL) et identifie les équipements considérés comme nécessaires pour que les opérations de remplissage, de transport et de déchargement puissent être effectuées en toute sécurité. Elle spécifie les exigences relatives à l’assemblage des accessoires et des équipements GPL du véhicule sur le camion-citerne. La présente Norme européenne identifie également les équipements et accessoires supplémentaires qui peuvent être utilisés sur des camions-citernes destinés au transport de GPL
La présente Norme européenne n’exclut pas l’utilisation de conceptions, matériaux et essais d’équipements qui garantissent au moins le même niveau de sécurité. L’ADR [9] exige que de tels codes techniques soient reconnus par l’autorité compétente à condition que les exigences minimales du paragraphe 6.8.2 de l’ADR [9] soient satisfaites.
La présente Norme européenne ne s’applique pas aux « conteneurs-citernes », ni aux « véhicules batteries » utilisés pour le transport de GPL.
Oprema in pribor za utekočinjeni naftni plin (UNP) - Oprema cestnih cistern za utekočinjeni naftni plin (UNP)
Ta evropski standard določa opremo in pribor za cestne cisterne, ki se uporabljajo za prevoz utekočinjenega naftnega plina (UNP), ter identificira opremo, ki je obvezna za varno izvajanje operacij polnjenja, prevoza in praznjenja. Določa zahteve za pritrjevanje pribora in opreme za vozilo za utekočinjen naftni plin na cestno cisterno. Ta evropski standard določa tudi dodatno opremo in pribor, ki se lahko uporablja na cestnih cisternah za prevoz utekočinjenega naftnega plina. Ta evropski standard ne izključuje uporabe alternativnih preskušanj zasnove, materialov in opreme, ki zagotavljajo enako ali večjo raven varnosti. ADR [9] zahteva, da takšne alternativne tehnične kode priznava pristojni organ, in sicer v skladu z minimalnimi zahtevami razdelka ADR 6.8.2 [9]. Ta evropski standard ne velja za »cisterne zabojnike« ali »baterijska vozila«, ki se uporabljajo za prevoz utekočinjenega naftnega plina.
