25、04 has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 219 “Cathodic protection”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI. This document shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by January 2005, and conflicting national
26、 standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by January 2005. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France,
27、Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom. This document, which deals with buried metallic tanks and associated piping, takes into account the speci
28、fic features of buried tanks in terms of construction, electrical equipment and safety considerations. The present document only covers the technical aspects of corrosion protection of tanks and associated piping. The application of cathodic protection depends on national requirements and the factor
29、s outlined in EN 12954:2001, Clause 5. EN 12954, also prepared by CEN TC 219/WG1, is concerned with cathodic protection against corrosion of buried or immersed metallic structures and gives general principles applicable to the protection of all types of such structures. Cathodic protection is a tech
30、nique based on the application of electrochemical principles and covers a wide variety of materials and equipment together with a variety of measurement techniques. It is assumed in the drafting of this document that the design, installation, commissioning, inspection and maintenance are entrusted t
31、o adequately trained, experienced, competent and reliable personnel in order to achieve effective and efficient cathodic protection. EN 13636:2004 (E) 6 1 Scope This document specifies the principles for the implementation of a system of cathodic protection against corrosive attacks on buried metal
32、tanks and associated piping. This document specifies conditions and parameters to be met in order to achieve cathodic protection, as well as rules and procedures for the design, installation, commissioning and maintenance for the protection of buried metal tanks and associated piping. This document
33、is applicable to the external surfaces of buried metallic tanks and associated buried piping. NOTE The protection of internal surfaces is covered by EN 12499. This document is applicable to buried tanks and associated piping, even if they are earthed by their own local earthing device, which are ele
34、ctrically separated from any general earthing systems and other buried structures. Therefore tanks which are covered by the present document include: industrial storage tanks, irrespective of their dimensions and the nature of the stored medium (liquid or gas, flammable or not, toxic or non-toxic, p
35、olluting or not); tanks used at petrol stations and on domestic or commercial premises, which contain flammable liquids or gases or polluting substances. This document is not applicable to: above-ground storage tank floors in contact with the ground; reinforced concrete containers; buried storage ta
36、nks that are electrically connected to the whole or a part of an industrial complex; buried storage tanks electrically connected to any general earthing systems. NOTE Cathodic protection of the last two types of tanks is covered by prEN 14505. Measurement techniques are described in detail in EN 135
