Scope

This document specifies the minimum requirements for the design and construction of metallic pressure tanks for the transport of dangerous goods by road and rail and sea. This document 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. This document is applicable to liquefied gases including LPG; however for a dedicated LPG standard see EN 12493. subject to the requirements of RID/ADR see Subsections 6.8.2.1, 6.8.3.1 and 6.8.5, as well as Chapter 3.2, Table A, columns 12 and 13, to Chapter 4.3 and Subsection 6.8.2.4 of ADR, as relevant. For the structural equipment conforming to the requirements of RID/ADR see Subsections 6.8.2.2 and 6.8.3.2, as relevant. The definitions of 6.7.3, as well as Chapter 3.2, Table A, Columns 10 and 11. 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: tanks according to RID/ADR Chapter 6.8 (left- hand column); portable tanks according to RID/ADR Chapter 6.7 (right-hand column).
