19、2 (E) Foreword This European Standard 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

20、 or by endorsement, at the latest by July 2002, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by July 2002. Annexes A and F are informative. Annexes B, C, D and E are normative. According to the CENKENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the follow

21、ing countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. 3 EN 12979:2002 (E) Introduction Thi

22、s European Standard specifies requirements for the installation of equipment for the use of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) in automotive propulsion systems. This European Standard calls for the use of substances and procedures that can be injurious to health if adequate precautions are not taken. It

23、refers only to technical suitability and does not absolve the user from legal obligations relating to health and safety at any stage. It has been assumed in the drafting of this European Standard that execution of its provisions is entrusted to appropriately qualified and experienced people. 1 Scope

24、 This European Standard specifies the requirements for the installation of automotive LPG components that comply with prEN 12805 and prEN 12806. These requirements are to ensure safe operation of such components. This standard does not cover type approval of a LPG motor vehicle. NOTE Type approval r

25、equirements are covered in UN/ECE Regulations and EU legislation. 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text, and the publications are listed

26、hereafter. For dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this European Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision.
