This draft European Standard is submitted to CEN members for enquiry. It has been drawn up by the Technical Committee CEN/TC 393.

If this draft becomes a European Standard, CEN members are bound to comply with the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations which
stipulate the conditions for giving this European Standard the status of a national standard without any alteration.

This draft European Standard was established by CEN in three official versions (English, French, German). A version in any other language
made by translation under the responsibility of a CEN member into its own language and notified to the CEN Management Centre has the
same status as the official versions.

CEN members are the national standards bodies of Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia,

Foreword
This document (prEN 13160-3:2010) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 393 “Equipment for
storage tanks and for filling stations”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
Annexes A and B are normative. Annex C is informative.
This document includes a Bibliography.
Recipients of this draft are invited to submit, with their comments, notification of any relevant patent rights of
which they are aware and to provide supporting documentation.
This document will supersede EN 13160-3:2003.
According to EN 13160-3:2003 the following fundamental changes are given:
 electrical conductivity for the leak detection liquid changed;
 tests for the leak detection liquid concerning harmful effects on contact with groundwater revised;
 information concerning environmental aspects included;
 referred standards updated.
This European Standard consists of 7 parts:
Leak detection systems —
Part 1: General principles
Part 2: Pressure and vacuum systems
Part 3: Liquid systems for tanks
Part 4: Liquid and/or vapour sensor systems for use in leakage containments or interstitial spaces
Part 5: Tank gauge leak detection systems
Part 6: Sensors in monitoring wells
Part 7: General requirements and test methods for interstitial spaces, leak protecting linings and leak
protecting jackets
prEN 13160-3:2010 (E)
1 Scope
This European Standard specifies the requirements for leak detection systems – class II for use with double-
skin tanks designed for water polluting fluids.
