1 Scope
This European Standard specifies the minimum requirements for the design and construction of
metallic pressure tanks having a maximum working or test pressure exceeding 50 kPa (0,5 bar), for the
transport of dangerous goods by road and rail and sea. This European Standard includes requirements
for openings, closures and structural equipment; it does not cover requirements of service equipment.
For tanks for the transport of cryogenic liquids, EN 13530-1 and EN 13530-2 apply.
NOTE 1 Design and construction of pressure tanks according to the scope of this European Standard are
primarily subject to the requirements of RID/ADR, 6.8.2.1, 6.8.3.1 and 6.8.5, as relevant. In addition, the relevant
requirements of RID/ADR, columns 12 and 13 of Table A to chapter 3.2, 4.3 and 6.8.2.4 apply. For the structural
equipment subsections 6.8.2.2 and 6.8.3.2 apply, as relevant. The definitions of RID/ADR 1.2.1 are referred to. For
portable tanks see also Chapter 4.2 and Sections 6.7.2 and 6.7.3 of RID and ADR. In addition, the relevant
requirements of RID/ADR, columns 10 and 11 of Table A to Chapter 3.2, 4.2, 6.7.2 and 6.7.3 apply. The paragraph
numbers above relate to the 2013 issue of RID/ADR which are subject to regular revisions. This can lead to
temporary non-compliances with EN 14025. It is important to know that requirements of RID/ADR take
precedence over any clause of this standard.
NOTE 2 This standard is applicable to liquefied gases including LPG, however for a dedicated LPG standard see
EN 12493.
If not otherwise specified, provisions which take up the whole width of the page apply to all kind of
tanks. Provisions contained in a single column apply only to:
road and rail pressure tanks according to portable tanks according to RID/ADR chapter 6.7
RID/ADR chapter 6.8 (left-hand column); (right-hand column).

---------------------- Page: 10 ----------------------

SIST EN 14025:2013+A1:2016
EN 14025:2013+A1:2016 (E)

Welded shells shall be fabricated from a material which has been shown to have acceptable welding
characteristics.
4.2 Compatibility
Shells, fittings, and pipework shall be constructed from materials which are:
a) substantially immune to attack by the substance(s) intended to be transported; or
b) properly passivated or neutralised by chemical reaction; or
c) lined with corrosion-resistant material directly bonded to the shell or attached by equivalent
means.
They shall comply with
RID/ADR 6.8.2 RID/ADR 6.7.2.2 and 6.7.3.2
Gaskets shall be made of materials not subject to attack by the substances intended to be transported.
The materials of the tank, including any devices, gaskets, linings and accessories, shall not adversely
affect the substances intended to be transported in the tank.
Guidelines on material specifications in relation to the substances to be transported may be taken from
Annex B of EN 12285-1:2003.
5 Design
5.1 General
Tanks shall be designed to withstand without loss of contents the:
1) operating conditions including static and dynamic forces in normal conditions of carriage. In
addition, the design of portable tanks shall account for the effects of fatigue, caused by repeated
application of these loads through the expected life of the portable tank;
2) test conditions;
3) !explosion-pressure-shock resistant condition (if required) (see Annex B)";
under consideration of Clause 6.
If sudden temperature differences are to be expected during filling or discharge of the tank the buckling
effect of one sided expansion or contraction should be taken into account.
5.2 Minimum shell thickness
The shell thickness shall not be less than that given in:
RID/ADR 6.8.2.1.17 to 6.8.2.1.18, see Figure 1 of RID/ADR 6.7.2.4 or 6.7.3.4, see Figure 2 of this
this standard standard
5.3 Reduction of shell thickness
The reduction of the minimum shell thickness When additional protection against shell damage
(see Figure 1) is allowed if protection of the shell is provided as described in 5.4, portable tanks
against damage through lateral impact or with test pressure less than 2,65 bar may have the
overturning is provided (see 5.4 and RID/ADR minimum shell thickness reduced, in proportion to
