Users of this standard, prepared in the field of application of Article 118A of the EC Treaty, should be aware that standards have no formal
17、 legal relationship with Directives that may have been made under Article 118A of the Treaty. In addition, national legislation in the Member states may contain more stringent requirements than the minimum requirements of a Directive based on Article 118A. Information on the relationship between the

DIN EN 12816:2011-03 EN 12816:2010 (E) 4 Introduction This European Standard specifies a method for safe handling and disposal of refillable LPG cylinders, of water capacity 0,5 litres up to and including 150 litres, that have been received into filling/maintena
21、nce/requalification plants from customers, waste collection depots, etc. This European Standard calls for the use of substances and procedures that may be injurious to health and/or environment if adequate precautions are not taken. It refers only to technical suitability and does not absolve the us
22、er from legal obligations relating to health, safety and environmental protection at any stage. Protection of the environment is a key political issue in Europe and elsewhere. Protection of the environment is taken in a very broad sense. The standard takes into consideration the total lifecycle aspe
23、cts of the activities involved in complying with the standard. These activities include all phases such as scrapping, recycling of materials, etc. It has been assumed in the drafting of this European Standard that execution of its provisions is entrusted to appropriately qualified and experienced pe
24、ople. DIN EN 378-1:2011-03 EN 12816:2010 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies methods for the safe gas freeing and disposal of refillable LPG cylinders manufactured from steel, composite materials and aluminium, of water capacity 0,5 litres up to and including 150 litres. This European Sta
25、ndard is applicable to the following: welded and brazed steel LPG cylinders with a specified minimum wall thickness (see EN 1442 and EN 12807 or equivalent standard); welded steel LPG cylinders without specified minimum wall thickness (see EN 14140 or equivalent standard); welded aluminium LPG cylin
26、ders (see EN 13110 or equivalent standard); composite LPG cylinders (see EN 14427 or equivalent standard). This European Standard is intended to be applied to cylinders complying with ADR (including pi marked cylinders) and also to existing non ADR cylinder populations. 2 Normative references The fo

31、oval of the LPG from the cylinder by the use of a vacuum 4 Gas freeing of cylinders 4.1 Cylinder disposers shall remove LPG from cylinders by: returning to an LPG storage tank via a suitably designed pump/compressor system, or flaring through a purpose designed flare stack fitted with a flame arrest
32、or as required, or venting through a purpose designed high level vent, in a controlled manner, that ensures that the vented gas is diluted to less than 20 % of the lower explosive limit before it reaches ground level, or any potential source of ignition, or a combination of any of these options. For
33、 safety and environmental protection reasons the first option is preferable. However it is recommended that, at a minimum, the liquid contents of cylinders should always be returned to an LPG storage tank. 4.2 Equipment used for removal of LPG shall be capable of removing liquid LPG from any cylinde
34、r however full. It should also be capable of removing LPG vapour so that the internal pressure is reduced to atmospheric. 4.3 Cylinders shall be made gas free by a safe means, for example: evacuation, or purging. NOTE 1 Where water is the purging fluid, waste water should be recycled where possible
35、for further purging applications. NOTE 2 Where possible, the recovery of the gas should be maximised in a closed loop system and stored for re-use. 4.4 Any flammable liquids remaining in the cylinder (e.g. oily residues) shall be removed and disposed of in a suitable manner before the cylinder can b
36、e considered gas free. 4.5 Cylinders shall be checked to ensure that they are depressurised and gas free prior to disposal. 4.6 Valves and other fittings shall be: scrapped and recycled, or inspected/reconditioned in accordance with EN 14912 for re-use. 5 Disposal of cylinders 5.1 Disposal shall onl
37、y take place after a cylinder is made gas free and the cylinder valve has been removed. 5.2 Cylinders shall be made unserviceable for storing LPG by any of the following methods: DIN EN 378-1:2011-03 EN 12816:2010 (E) 7 mechanical crushing; mechanical shredding; piercing holes of 50 mm diameter or m
38、ore, in at least two places; irregular cutting of the neck of the cylinder; irregular cutting of the body of the cylinder, into two or more pieces. NOTE Noise levels from the above methods should be evaluated and measures put in place to minimise the impact upon the external environment. 5.3 Cylinde
39、rs made unserviceable in accordance with 5.2 shall be considered as scrap material for disposal and recycled in order to maximise the re-use of scrap material and minimise the total energy life cycle of the cylinders. The cylinder disposer shall endeavour to minimise wastage of material by selecting
40、 the most appropriate scrapping method. NOTE Any coatings on cylinders may affect recycling methods and should be taken into account. 5.4 Composite cylinders shall be disposed of in accordance with the manufacturers instructions, e.g. the recycling of thermoplastic parts and metallic liners, the gri
