CEN/TC 210/WG 2 - Design, calculation and workmanship
Elaboration of a European Standard laying down all requirements for the design, calculation and fabrication of GRP tanks and vessels, with or without lining, for use above ground. The standard should contain the minimum requirements for the materials used and the mechanical properties, it should define the design strain and loadings, the design as such including a design analysis and a local analysis. Furthermore, it should contain requirements for bolted flange connections, supports, structures and fittings.

Frequently Asked Questions
CEN/TC 210/WG 2 is a Working Group within the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). It is named "Design, calculation and workmanship" and is responsible for: Elaboration of a European Standard laying down all requirements for the design, calculation and fabrication of GRP tanks and vessels, with or without lining, for use above ground. The standard should contain the minimum requirements for the materials used and the mechanical properties, it should define the design strain and loadings, the design as such including a design analysis and a local analysis. Furthermore, it should contain requirements for bolted flange connections, supports, structures and fittings. This committee has published 1 standards.
CEN/TC 210/WG 2 develops CEN standards. The scope of work includes: Elaboration of a European Standard laying down all requirements for the design, calculation and fabrication of GRP tanks and vessels, with or without lining, for use above ground. The standard should contain the minimum requirements for the materials used and the mechanical properties, it should define the design strain and loadings, the design as such including a design analysis and a local analysis. Furthermore, it should contain requirements for bolted flange connections, supports, structures and fittings. Currently, there are 1 published standards from this working group.
The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) is a public standards organization that brings together the national standardization bodies of 34 European countries. CEN provides a platform for developing European Standards (ENs) and other technical documents in relation to various products, materials, services, and processes, supporting the European Single Market.
A Working Group in CEN is a specialized group responsible for developing standards or technical work within a defined scope. These bodies bring together international experts to create consensus-based standards that support global trade, safety, and interoperability.
This European Standard gives requirements for the design, fabrication, inspection, testing and verification of GRP tanks and vessels with or without Thermoplastics lining for storage or processing of fluids, factory made or site built, non pressurised or pressurised up to 10 bar, for use above ground.
The terms vessels and tanks as used in this European Standard include branches up to the point of connection to pipe work or other equipment by bolting and supports, brackets or other attachments bonded directly to the shell. In addition to the definitive requirements, this European Standard also requires the items in Clause 5 to be fully documented.
This European Standard covers vessels and tanks subject to temperatures between - 40 °C and + 120 °C.
NOTE It is possible that future advances in resin technology would allow tanks and vessels to be considered for operating temperatures above + 120 °C. Should such a situation arise and a manufacturer wishes to take advantage of such developments, then all other requirements of the standard shall be maintained and such tanks and vessels shall only be designed in accordance with the advanced design method given in 7.8.3.
Excluded from this European Standard are:
Tanks and vessels for the transport of fluids;
Underground storage tanks;
Spherical vessels;
Vessels and tanks of irregular shape;
Tanks and vessels with double containment;
Tanks and vessels which are subject to the risk of explosion, or failure of which may cause an emission of radioactivity;
Specification for fibre reinforced cisterns of one piece and sectional construction for the storage, above ground, of cold water (see EN 13280:2001).
