DIN EN 14894:2013-06 EN 14894:2013 (E) 4 Introduction This European Standard calls for the use of substances and procedures that may be injuri
19、ous to health if adequate precautions 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 European Standard that the execution of its provisions is entruste
20、d to appropriately qualified and experienced people. DIN EN 14894:2013-06 EN 14894:2013 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies stamp marking requirements for transportable refillable LPG cylinders and metallic drums including: Steel LPG cylinders designed and manufactured in accordance with
21、EN 1442, EN 14140, EN 12807 or an equivalent standard or technical code recognised by the Competent Authority. LPG metallic drums designed and manufactured in accordance with EN 14893 or an equivalent standard or technical code recognised by the Competent Authority. Welded aluminium LPG cylinders de
22、signed and manufactured in accordance with EN 13110 or an equivalent standard or technical code recognised by the Competent Authority. LPG composite cylinders designed and manufactured in accordance with EN 14427 or an equivalent standard or technical code recognised by the Competent Authority. NOTE
23、 1 All these types of receptacles are referred to throughout this standard as “cylinders”. This European Standard does not specify any requirements for product, hazard or safety-phrase labelling of packaging which may be required to meet ADR or other legislative requirements. NOTE 2 The marking of c
24、ylinders is regulated by RID/ADR which take precedence over any clause in this European Standard. The European Directive on Transportable Pressure Equipment 2010/35/EU 9 includes additional marking requirements ( -marking). 2 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following ter
25、ms and definitions apply. 2.1 liquefied petroleum gas LPG low pressure liquefied gas composed of one or more light hydrocarbons which are assigned to UN 1011, UN 1075, UN 1965, UN 1969 or UN 1978 only and which consists mainly of propane, propene, butane, butane isomers, butene with traces of other

28、Directive 2010/35/EU 9 -marking Pi marking as defined in European Directive on Transportable Pressure Equipment 2010/35/EU 9 4 Application of stamp markings 4.1 General 4.1.1 Stamp markings consist of manufacturing, operational and certification stamp marks and are listed in Clause 5, Clause 6, Clau
29、se 7 and Clause 8. The layout of the marks is covered by 4.3. Additional markings may be applied if required by other regulations or technical standards, or when required by the cylinder owner; provided the layout does not cause any confusion in their interpretation and the clarity of the other mand
30、atory markings is not affected. 4.1.2 Low stress stamp marking methods shall be utilised. 4.1.3 Stamp markings shall be applied to low stress areas. 4.1.4 Stamp marking shall be in accordance with the requirements of EN 14894 and any requirements in the standard to which cylinder or drum is being ma
31、nufactured. The marking information may be supplemented and/or duplicated by electronic means or other types of coding where required by the operator. NOTE 1 The TPED includes additional marking requirements (-marking). NOTE 2 The requirements of RID/ADR override any conflicting requirements of this
32、 European Standard; this may lead to a temporary noncompliance with EN 14894. 4.2 Workmanship 4.2.1 All stamp markings shall be affixed clearly, legibly and durably on the cylinder and shall remain legible under all foreseeable operating and ageing conditions. Markings required to be “permanent” sha
33、ll be such that they can only be removed with the use of special tools and may be done, for example by hard metal stamping, engraving, casting, embossing, encapsulation or other similar methods. Markings required to be “durable” shall be such that they remain visible for the relevant period of time
34、and may be done, for example by printing, external labelling, stencilling, use of valve hand-wheel insert or other similar methods. Clause 5, Clause 6, Clause 7 and Clause 8 indicate which markings shall be “permanent (P)“ and which may be “durable (D)“. Markings which are permitted to be durable ma
35、y be permanently applied if so desired. 4.2.2 For metallic cylinders, the markings shall be located on the shoulder, top end or neck of the cylinder or on a permanently affixed component, e.g. shroud, handle(s), foot ring, welded nameplate, etc. 4.2.3 If markings are applied after completion of manu
36、facture or following periodic inspection, by stamping or engraving onto the pressure parts of the cylinder, it shall be demonstrated by fatigue and burst tests in accordance with the original design standard or equivalent, that failure does not initiate in the markings. 4.2.4 For composite cylinders
37、, permanent markings may be affixed by use of a printed label encapsulated by either placing it under the resin or by covering it with a permanent transparent coating, on the shoulder or the sidewall of the cylinder (see 4.3). DIN EN 14894:2013-06 EN 14894:2013 (E) 7 4.2.5 The characters in the stam
38、p markings shall be at least 5 mm in height. On cylinders with an outside diameter less than 140 mm, this height may be reduced, but in no case shall the characters be less than 2,5 mm in height. 4.2.6 The -mark, where applicable, shall have substantially the same vertical dimension as the other sta
39、mp markings but shall not be less than 5 mm. If the mark dimensions are changed, the proportions of the drawing shall be maintained. NOTE The proportions of the -mark are specified in the conformity marking drawing in the TPED. 4.2.7 The UN number and the letters “UN“ shall be: a) at least 12 mm hig
40、h for cylinders of greater than 60 l water capacity; b) at least 6 mm in height for cylinders of 60 l water capacity or less; and c) be of an appropriate size for cylinders of 5 l or less. 4.3 Arrangements for stamp marking 4.3.1 The markings for manufacturing, operation and certification shall be a
41、rranged in three groups as specified in Clause 5, Clause 6 and Clause 7, where the manufacturing marks shall be the top grouping, the operational be the middle grouping and the certification marks be the bottom grouping. 4.3.2 The arrangement of additional markings specified in Clause 8, shall be su
42、ch as to avoid confusion with the markings specified in 4.3.1. 4.3.3 Where relevant, the certification marks of Table 4, e.g. the conformity reassessment mark and the TPED conformity mark, shall be applied before or after the certification stamp markings in accordance with Table 3. NOTE Possible loc
43、ations of the markings are given in Annex A. 4.3.4 When an identity plate (or label for composite cylinders) is used, all the stamp markings may be on a single plate or label together with any additional markings, provided the layout does not cause any confusion in their interpretation.
