Overview
EN 13314:2002 is a European standard developed by CEN that specifies the requirements for fill hole covers used on tanks for the transport of dangerous goods. It focuses on service equipment installed on transportable tanks carrying flammable liquids classified as Class 3 under the ADR (European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road). This standard outlines the design, performance, testing, and marking criteria for fill hole covers, ensuring safety and reliability for operators and transporters of hazardous substances with vapor pressures not exceeding 110 kPa at 50°C.
Key Topics
- Scope and Applicability
Applicable to fill hole covers for tanks transporting liquid petroleum products and other dangerous flammable liquids (Class 3 ADR) without toxic or corrosive sub-classifications. It defines performance requirements and dimensions to verify compliance for equipment used in hazardous goods transport. - Design and Function
The fill hole cover is designed to enable secure opening and closing of tank fill holes, facilitating top filling of tank compartments. It may feature emergency pressure relief functions to safely manage vapor pressure differentials during operation. - Leak Tightness and Mechanical Integrity
Covers must be vapour and liquid tight at all orientations and operational pressures within the tank’s maximum allowable working pressure (MAWP). They are required to pass drop tests simulating dynamic impacts to verify structural resilience without loss of sealing or deformation. - Temperature and Material Requirements
The design temperature range is typically -20°C to +50°C, extendable to -40°C or +70°C for extreme conditions. Materials must resist corrosion and be compatible with transported substances, especially avoiding unprotected steel in contact with aluminium tank shells. - Dimensions and Electrical Safety
Minimum internal diameter of fill holes is 250 mm, with height restrictions to prevent operational obstructions. Electrical resistance requirements ensure proper bonding and grounding to prevent static discharge hazards. - Testing Procedures
Includes production tests such as seat tightness under specified pressures, and type tests including rigorous drop testing and leak assessments according to prEN 12266 series guidelines and ISO 2859-1 sampling procedures. - Marking and Documentation
Fill hole covers must bear permanent identification indicating compliance with this standard, manufacturer details, serial number, date of manufacture, MAWP, and any special operating conditions. Installation, operational, and maintenance instructions are mandatory.
Applications
- Transport of Flammable Liquids
EN 13314 compliant fill hole covers are essential components on road tankers carrying flammable and hazardous liquid chemicals, fuels, and petroleum products classified under Class 3 ADR. - Safety in Hazardous Goods Handling
The standard ensures that fill hole covers maintain containment integrity during filling, transport, and handling, minimizing risks of vapor release, ignition, or spillage. - Pressure and Leak Management
Incorporating emergency pressure relief functions in fill hole covers helps maintain safe pressure levels and prevents accidental uncontrolled releases. - Regulatory Compliance
Adoption of EN 13314 supports adherence to European transport safety directives and contributes to meeting international ADR transport regulations.
