This European Standard specifies requirements on and characteristics of bottom filling and emptying devices on tank wagons used for the carriage of gases liquefied under pressure having a test pressure up to 2,9 MPa. This European Standard specifies the important dimensions and arrangements for the filling and emptying connections. Safety functions of these devices are subject to RID requirements and not described in this document.
This European Standard applies to new tank wagons built after the 1st January 2010.
NOTE   It is intended to include quick couplings in a future revision of this European Standard.

This European Standard applies to ladders, platforms and walkways on tank wagons fitted with top devices. It does not apply to crossing gangways nor to steps in so far as they are covered by UIC leaflets. This European Standard defines the important dimensions for manufacturers and operators of such tank wagons and takes into consideration the relevant and applicable construction and safety guidelines.
This European Standard applies to new tank wagons built after the 1st January 2010.
In consideration of the smaller loading gauge within the UK, this European Standard does not apply to wagons operating exclusively therein.

This European Standard applies to manholes on tank wagons used for the transport of dangerous substances. Safety functions of these devices are subject to RID requirements and not described in this document.
This European Standard specifies the dimensions for the interchangeability of seals and other wearing parts and defines also the important dimensions for:
- manholes for gas tank wagons located in one end of the tank;
- manholes for gas tank wagons located on the top of the tank including the arrangement of fittings;
- bolted manholes for tank wagons for liquid substances located on the top of the tank;
- swing bolt manholes for tank wagons for liquid substances located on the top of the tank.
Quick closing/opening manholes are permitted but are not covered by this European Standard.
This European Standard applies to new tank wagons built after the 1st January 2010.

This European Standard is applicable to top devices of tank wagons used for liquid substances of RID carried in the liquid state and able to be top filled and emptied. Safety functions of these devices are subject to RID requirements and not described in this document.
This European Standard specifies the type of equipment which is fitted on the top of such tank wagons and the important dimensions for their connections.
This European Standard applies to new tank wagons built after the 1st January 2010.

This European Standard specifies positioning of connections, connection dimensions and coupling tightening devices for connections of steam heating installations used on tank wagons.
This European Standard applies to new tank wagons built after the 1st January 2010.

This European Standard specifies requirements on and characteristics of bottom emptying devices on tank wagons used for the carriage of liquid substances of RID. This European Standard specifies the most important dimensions of connection devices for the emptying of the tank. Safety functions of these devices are subject to RID requirements and not described in this document.
This European Standard is applicable to bottom vapour return devices where fitted to tank wagons.
This European standard applies to new tank wagons built after the 1st January 2010.

This European Standard specifies the requirements on and characteristics of top devices of tank wagons fitted for bottom emptying only and filling through the manhole and used for liquid substances of RID. Safety functions of these devices are subject to RID requirements and not described in this document.
This European Standard specifies in particular the important dimensions and arrangements for the connections of such tank wagons.
This European Standard applies to new tank wagons built after the 1st January 2010.
NOTE   To take account of the loading gauge restrictions within Great Britain this European Standard does not apply to tank wagons operating exclusively therein.

This European Standard lays down the identification plates for tank wagons used for the carriage of:
- liquefied gases of class 2 of RID,
- substances of classes 3, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 5.1, 5.2, 6.1, 6.2, 8 and 9 of RID.
Compressed gases have not been considered in this European Standard.
This European Standard also defines the dimensions and the fixing of identification plates and various particulars to be marked on them.
The requirements of RID shall override conflicting requirements of this European Standard.
