17、t 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of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by December 2013, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by December 2013. Attention is drawn
18、to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN and/or CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European
19、Free Trade Association. This document supersedes EN 13776:2002. The main changes regarding the 2002 version include: Deletion of Annex A; Deletion of Annex B; Deletion of maintenance requirements; Addition of a new informative Annex A on filling ratios and test pressures for mixtures; and Addition o
20、f a new informative Annex B environmental checklist. This European Standard has been submitted for reference into the technical annexes of the ADR 5. NOTE These regulations take precedence over any clause of this standard. It is emphasised that RID/ADR/ADN are being revised regularly at intervals of
21、 two years which may lead to temporary non-compliances with the clauses of this European Standard. According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cy
22、prus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the Unit
23、ed Kingdom. DIN EN 13776:2013-08 EN 13776:2013 (E) 4 Introduction This European Standard calls for the use of substances and procedures that may be injurious to health and/or the environment if adequate precautions are not taken. It refers only to technical suitability: it does not absolve the user
24、from their legal obligations at any stage. Protection of the environment is a key political issue in Europe and elsewhere around the world. Protection of the environment in this document is understood in a very broad sense. The phrase is used, for example, in relation to the total life-cycle aspects
25、 of a product on the environment, including expenditure of energy, and during all phases of its existence, from mining of raw materials, to fabrication, packaging, distribution, use, scrapping, recycling of materials, etc. NOTE Annex B comprises an environmental checklist which highlights the clause
26、s of this European Standard that address environmental aspects. Provisions have to be restricted to a general guidance. Limit values are specified in national laws. It is recommended that manufacturers develop an environmental management policy. For guidance see the EN ISO 14000 series 2, 3 and 4. I
27、t has been assumed in the drafting of this European Standard that the execution of its provisions is entrusted to appropriately qualified and experienced people. All pressures are gauge pressures unless otherwise stated. DIN EN 13776:2013-08 EN 13776:2013 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifi
28、es filling, discharge and emergency procedures for road tankers equipped in accordance with EN 12252 used for the transportation of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). This European Standard does not apply to “batteries of receptacles”. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part,

Personnel carrying out LPG transfer operations shall wear personal protection equipment acc
35、ording to applicable regulations. Filling and discharging shall be under the constant supervision of a competent person. 4.2 The filling and discharge areas shall be inspected for fire hazards prior to beginning operations. Suitable fire protection shall be readily available. NOTE Responsibilities f
36、or fire protection are subject to national regulations 4.3 Written procedures and other appropriate information shall be made readily available, understood and followed by those undertaking filling and discharging procedures. The training programme for driver certification shall be approved by the c
37、ompetent authority. Consideration shall be given to include specific instructions for the use of the road tankers LPG equipment and fixed LPG installation relevant to the operations in the training programme. 4.4 Written procedures shall be readily available, understood and followed. This shall be a
38、chieved by training and supervision. The responsibilities of all persons involved in the operation shall be clearly defined. For appropriate measures regarding training and written procedures and the corresponding responsibilities refer to national health and safety regulation. 5 Filling procedures
39、5.1 Preparation for filling 5.1.1 The vehicle shall be driven to the filling area and positioned in accordance with the site procedure. 5.1.2 The filler shall ensure that any device provided to check the loaded quantity is operational and in the correct position. 5.1.3 All road tanker electrical equ
40、ipment not required for the filling process shall be switched off. Any other sources of ignition shall be removed/de-activated. 5.1.4 The handbrake shall be applied and, where required, the wheel-scotch put in place. Anti-drive-away system interlock/installation barriers shall be engaged. 5.1.5 Prec
41、autions shall be taken to ensure that the grade of LPG to be filled is correctly identified and that the road tanker is suitable for the intended load and that it is correctly labelled (see Annex A). NOTE In the ADR the terms “placarding” and “orange-coloured plate marking“ are used in place of “lab
42、elling”. Road tankers with pressure vessels which are not divided by partitions or surge plates into sections of not more than 7 500 litres capacity, shall be filled to not less than 80 % or not more than 20 % of their capacity. 5.1.6 Where fitted tanker loading control systems shall be connected. 5
43、.2 Filling operations 5.2.1 The electrostatic potential of the road tanker and the fixed installation shall be equalised before the LPG hoses are connected. 5.2.2 All road tanker outlets and internal valves shall be checked to ensure that they are in the closed position. DIN EN 13776:2013-08 EN 1377
44、6:2013 (E) 7 5.2.3 The blanking cap shall be removed from the vapour return (where fitted and when used) and the liquid inlet connections. 5.2.4 The transfer couplings (hoses or loading arms) shall be connected without submitting them to any abnormal stresses. The road tanker, product terminal and v
45、apour return valves, where applicable, shall be opened in the required sequence and manner in accordance with the written procedures. The connections between the transfer couplings and the road tanker shall be checked for leakage. Further periodic leakage checks shall be carried out directly after t
46、he product transfer operation has begun. 5.3 Completion of filling 5.3.1 The road tanker, product terminal and vapour return valves, where applicable, shall be closed in the required sequence and manner in accordance with the written procedures ensuring that valves closest to the pressure vessel of
47、the vehicle are closed first. 5.3.2 Any LPG between the transfer couplings shall be vented in a safe manner before fully disconnecting. 5.3.3 After disconnection of the filling line and any other connections to the road tanker (vapour return or tanker loading control) all road tanker valves shall be
48、 properly closed and the caps secured in place. 5.3.4 A final check shall be made to ensure that the road tanker is in a fit condition to be driven away. There shall be no sign of leakage. The connection made to equalise the electrostatic potential shall be disconnected. 5.3.5 Anti-drive-away system interlock/installation barriers shall be disengaged. 5.3.6 The driver shall verify that the correct quantity and grade of LPG (as per dataplate of the pressure vessel, see Annex A) has been loaded and that the road tan
