25、-05 EN 13953:2015 (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 from their legal obligations
26、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 of a product on the environm
27、ent, 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. It is essential that provisions be restricted to a general guidance. Limit values are specified in nationa
28、l laws. It is recommended that manufacturers develop an environmental management policy. For guidance see the EN ISO 14000 series. It 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 pr
29、essures are gauge pressures unless otherwise stated. NOTE This European Standard requires measurement of material properties, dimensions and pressures. All such measurements are subject to a degree of uncertainty due to tolerances in measuring equipment etc. It may be beneficial to refer to the leaf
30、let “measurement uncertainty leaflet” SP INFO 2000 27 2. DIN EN 13953:2015-05 EN 13953:2015 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the design, testing and marking requirements for spring loaded pressure relief valves (PRV), for use in liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cylinders. These PRVs can b
31、e either an integral part of a cylinder valve (see EN ISO 14245 3 and EN ISO 15995 4) or a separate device. This European Standard does not exclude the use of other designs of pressure relief devices that provide a similar level of safety. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or
