15、EN 12252:2014 (E) 3 Foreword This document (EN 12252:2014) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 286 “Liquefied Petroleum Gas equipment and accessories”, the secretariat of which is held by NSAI. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication
16、 of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by October 2014 and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by October 2014. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN and/or CENELEC shall n
17、ot be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document supersedes EN 12252:2012. This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association. This document has been submitted for reference into the techn
18、ical annexes of the ADR 9. NOTE These regulations take precedence over any clause of this European Standard. It is emphasised that RID/ADR/ADN are being revised regularly at intervals of two years which might lead to temporary non-compliances with the clauses of this European Standard. The main tech
19、nical changes of this revision include: the update of definitions; the modification of requirements on the primary shut-off system (see 6.1.3); the modification of the general requirements on the safety system (see 11.1); the correction of an error in the flow calculation units (see Annex A). Accord
20、ing 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, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany,
21、Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom. BS EN 12252:2014EN 12252:2014 (E) 4 Introduction This European Standard calls for the use of
22、substances and procedures that may be injurious to health and also the environment if adequate precautions are not taken. It refers only to technical suitability; it does not absolve the user from their legal obligations at any stage. Protection of the environment is a key political issue in Europe
23、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 environment, including expenditure of energy, and during all phases of its existence, f
24、rom mining of raw materials, fabrication, packaging, distribution, use, scrapping, recycling of materials, etc. NOTE 1 Annex C comprises an environmental checklist which highlights the clauses of this European Standard that address environmental issues. Provisions need to be restricted to a general
25、guidance. Limit values are specified in national laws. It is recommended that manufacturers develop an environmental management policy. For guidance see the ISO 14000 series 3, 4 and 5 It has been assumed in the drafting of this European Standard that the execution of its provisions is entrusted to
26、appropriately qualified and experienced people. All pressures are gauge pressures unless otherwise stated. NOTE 2 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
27、equipment etc. It might be beneficial to refer to the leaflet “measurement uncertainty leaflet” SP INFO 2000 27 10. BS EN 12252:2014EN 12252:2014 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies equipment and accessories for road tankers used for the transport of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) and iden
28、tifies the equipment that is considered necessary to ensure that filling, transportation and discharge operations can be carried out safely. It specifies the requirements for the assembly of the accessories and the vehicle LPG equipment to the road tanker. This European Standard also identifies addi
29、tional equipment and accessories that can be used on road tankers carrying LPG. This European Standard does not preclude the use of alternative designs, materials and equipment testing which provide the same or a higher level of safety. ADR 9 requires that such alternative technical codes be recogni
30、sed by the competent authority, provided that the minimum requirements of section 6.8.2 of ADR 9 are complied with. This European Standard does not apply to “tank-containers” or “battery-vehicles” used for the transport of LPG. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are
