General Information
Overview
EN 12862:2000 is a European (CEN) standard that specifies minimum requirements for the design and construction of refillable transportable welded aluminium alloy gas cylinders. It covers cylinders with water capacities from 0.5 L up to and including 150 L and applies to cylinders intended for compressed, liquefied and dissolved gases. The standard also includes provisions that specifically address spherical cylinders. National adoptions (for example, SIST EN 12862:2001) reflect its acceptance by member bodies.
Key topics and requirements
EN 12862 defines essential technical areas manufacturers and designers must address, including:
- Material requirements - selection and suitability of aluminium alloys for welded, refillable transportable cylinders.
- Design and construction - engineering principles for safe, reliable cylinder geometry, wall thickness and welded assemblies (including spherical forms).
- Workmanship and manufacturing processes - quality of welding, forming and finishing practices to ensure consistent cylinder integrity.
- Manufacture testing and inspection - mandatory factory checks and tests performed at manufacture to verify conformity with the standard.
- Marking and traceability - provisions for identification, capacity and other information required for safe use and regulatory compliance.
(EN 12862 does not replace national regulations or transport regulations; it provides harmonized technical specifications for welded aluminium alloy cylinders.)
Applications
This standard is intended for practical use by:
- Cylinder manufacturers and fabricators - to design, produce and certify refillable aluminium alloy gas cylinders.
- Design and R&D engineers - when selecting alloys, welded constructions and cylinder forms including spherical designs.
- Quality, inspection and testing laboratories - to establish manufacturing test regimes and acceptance criteria.
- Gas suppliers, distributors and end users - to verify that cylinders meet recognized safety and construction benchmarks.
- Regulatory bodies and procurement teams - for specifying compliant equipment in industrial, medical, laboratory and commercial gas applications.
Related standards
EN 12862 sits alongside other European and international standards covering gas cylinders, pressure vessels and transportable pressure equipment. Users should consult relevant national transport and pressure equipment regulations and complementary CEN/ISO standards when applying EN 12862 for certification, transport or operational compliance.
