Ortsbewegliche Gasflaschen - Flaschenbündel - Wiederkehrende Inspektion und Prüfung
Diese Europäische Norm legt die Anforderungen für die wiederkehrende Inspektion und Prüfung von Flaschenbündeln für verdichtetes, verflüssigtes und gelöstes Gas fest. Sie gilt ebenfalls für Flaschenbündel für Acetylen.
Diese Europäische Norm enthält Angaben zur Instandhaltung von Flaschenbündeln.
Diese Europäische Norm deckt nicht die Anforderungen für Flaschenbündel als Bestandteil eines Batterie-fahrzeugs ab. Für einige bestimmte Anwendungen, z. B. Offshore, können zusätzliche Anforderungen gelten.
Bouteilles à gaz transportables - Cadres de bouteilles - Contrôles et essais périodiques
La présente Norme européenne spécifie les exigences relatives au contrôle et aux essais périodiques des cadres de bouteilles contenant du gaz comprimé, liquéfié et dissous. Elle s’applique également aux cadres de bouteilles contenant de l’acétylène.
La présente Norme européenne fournit des informations sur la maintenance des cadres de bouteilles.
La présente Norme européenne ne couvre pas les exigences concernant les cadres de bouteilles constitutifs d’une partie d’un véhicule-batterie. Pour certaines applications spécifiques, par exemple en mer, des exigences supplémentaires peuvent s’appliquer.
Premične plinske jeklenke - Snopi jeklenk - Periodični pregledi in preskusi
EN 15888 določa zahteve za periodično pregledovanje in preskušanje snopov jeklenk, ki vsebujejo stisnjeni plin, utekočinjeni plin in njune mešanice. Uporablja se tudi za snope jeklenk, ki vsebujejo acetilen. Ta evropski standard vključuje informacije o vzdrževanju snopov jeklenk. Ta evropski standard ne vključuje zahtev za snope jeklenk, kadar so del baterijskega vozila. Za določene specifične uporabe, npr. na plavajočih objektih, lahko veljajo dodatne zahteve.
