EN 13776:2013 (E) 3 Foreword This document (EN 13776:2013) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 286 “Liquefied petroleum gas equipment and accessories”, the secretariat of which is held by NSAI. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by December 2013, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by December 2013. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN [and/or CENELEC] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association. This document supersedes EN 13776:2002. The main changes regarding the 2002 version include: — Deletion of Annex A; — Deletion of Annex B; — Deletion of maintenance requirements; — Addition of a new informative Annex A on filling ratios and test pressures for mixtures; and — Addition of a new informative Annex B environmental checklist. This European Standard has been submitted for reference into the technical annexes of the ADR [5]. NOTE These regulations take precedence over any clause of this standard. It is emphasised that RID/ADR/ADN are being revised regularly at intervals of two years which may lead to temporary non-compliances with the clauses of this European Standard. According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom.

EN 13776:2013 (E) 4 Introduction This European Standard calls for the use of substances and procedures that may be injurious to health and/or the environment if adequate precautions are not taken. It refers only to technical suitability: it does not absolve the user from their legal obligations at any stage. Protection of the environment is a key political issue in Europe and elsewhere around the world. Protection of the environment in this document is understood in a very broad sense. The phrase is used, for example, in relation to the total life-cycle aspects of a product on the environment, including expenditure of energy, and during all phases of its existence, from mining of raw materials, to fabrication, packaging, distribution, use, scrapping, recycling of materials, etc. NOTE Annex B comprises an environmental checklist which highlights the clauses of this European Standard that address environmental aspects. Provisions have to be restricted to a general guidance. Limit values are specified in national laws. It is recommended that manufacturers develop an environmental management policy. For guidance see the EN ISO 14000 series [2], [3] and [4]. It has been assumed in the drafting of this European Standard that the execution of its provisions is entrusted to appropriately qualified and experienced people. All pressures are gauge pressures unless otherwise stated. SIST EN 13776:2013
