30、recautions are not taken. It 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 document that the execution of its provisions is entrusted to appropriately qualified and exp
31、erienced people. Where judgements are called for, it has been assumed that they are made by competent persons who have been trained specifically for the tasks.

BS EN 1439:2017EN 1439:2017 (E) 6 1 Scope This document specifies the procedures to be adopted when checking transportable refillable LPG cylinders before, during and after filling. This document applies to transportable refillable LPG cylinders of water ca
34、pacity not exceeding 150 l and deemed to be fitted with valves designed according to EN ISO 14245 4 and EN ISO 15995 5. This document does not cover the requirements for filling LPG cylinders that are designed and equipped for filling by the user. This document does not cover the requirements for fi
35、lling LPG containers on vehicles. This document is applicable to the following: welded and brazed steel LPG cylinders with a specified minimum wall thickness (see EN 1442 and EN 12807 1 or an equivalent standard); welded steel LPG cylinders without specified minimum wall thickness (see EN 14140 or a
36、n equivalent standard); welded aluminium LPG cylinders (see EN 13110 2 or an equivalent standard); composite LPG cylinders (see EN 14427 or an equivalent standard); and over-moulded cylinders (OMC). Specific requirements for the different types of cylinders are detailed in Annex A, Annex B, Annex C,
37、 Annex D and Annex G. This draft standard is intended to be applied to cylinders complying with RID/ADR 6 7 (including pi marked cylinders) and also to existing non RID/ADR cylinder populations. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this d
