BS EN 15609:2012EN 15609:2012 (E) 5 Introduction This European Standard specifies requirements for the installation o

28、f equipment for the use of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (hereafter referred to as LPG) in the propulsion systems of small craft. This European Standard calls for the use of substances and procedures that can be injurious to health if adequate precautions are not taken. It refers only to technical suitabi

29、lity: it does not absolve the user from their legal obligations relating to health and safety at any stage. Protection of the environment is a key political issue in Europe and elsewhere. Protection of the environment in this document is understood in a very broad sense. The phrase is used, for exam

30、ple, in relation to the total life-cycle aspects of a product on the environment (including expenditure of energy) during all phases of its existence, from use, to scrapping, to recycling of materials, etc. Annex I comprises an environmental checklist which highlights the clauses of this European St

31、andard that address environmental aspects. It has been assumed in the drafting of this European Standard that the execution of its provisions is entrusted to appropriately qualified and experienced persons. This European Standard is based on EN 12979 3. BS EN 15609:2012EN 15609:2012 (E) 6 1 Scope Th

32、is European Standard specifies the requirements for LPG propulsion systems on craft with hull lengths less than or equal to 24 m, including those defined by Directive 94/25/EC. This European Standard does not cover appliances with directly attached gas cylinders, such as portable self-contained camp

33、ing stoves and portable gas lamps. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.
