EN 14398-3:2003 (E)4IntroductionElements of this standard support the requirements of the framework Directives on Transport of Dangerous Goodsand other international, national or local requirements.Large transportable cryogenic vessels are often pa
31、rtly equipped by the manufacturer, but can be installed or re-installed by another party, such as the operator user or owner. For this reason some of the scope of this EuropeanStandard, which includes putting into service, inspection, filling, maintenance and emergency procedure overlapswith some of
32、 the Parts 1 and 2 of EN 14398.Operational requirements for the usage of these vessels on public road, rail, sea and air are not covered in thisstandard, but are defined in other international, national or local requirements.EN 14398-3:2003 (E)51 Scope1.1 This European Standard specifies operational
33、 requirements for large transportable non vacuum insulatedcryogenic vessels of more than 1000 l volume.1.2 This European Standard applies to vessels designed for cryogenic fluids specified in EN 14398-1.2 Normative referencesThis European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisio
34、ns from other publications. Thesenormative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text, and the publications are listed hereafter. Fordated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this EuropeanStandard only when incorporated in it by ame

For undated references the latest edition of thepublication referred to applies (including amendments).EN 12300, Cryogenic vessels - Cleanliness for cryogenic service.EN 14398-1:2003, Cryogenic vessels Large Transportable non-vacuum insulated vessels Part 1: Fundamentalrequiremen

It applies to either a new vessel being used for the first time oran existing ves

39、 before putting into service4.1 GeneralBefore putting into service, verification shall take place to ensure that the vessel is suitable for the intended serviceand that the marking, placarding and handover documents are complete.4.2 Marking and placardingMarking and placarding shall be in accordance
40、 with the relevant transport regulations, see also EN 14398-1.4.3 Handover documentsIn addition to the manufacturers documentation, where necessary the cryogenic vessel shall be accompanied byvessel specific documents and instructions for all items supplied covering:G01 the operation;G01 the auxilia
41、ry equipment;G01 the inspection records.These documents shall be retained by the owner of the vessel.The user shall have appropriate operating instructions available. Such instructions may be attached to the vessel ina permanent manner, or carried by or available to the operator.5 Personnel training
42、Only persons trained for the specific task shall be allowed to put into service, fill, handle, operate or maintain thevessel.The training programme shall include:G01 normal procedures;G01 product and hazard identification;G01 safe operating limits;G01 emergency procedures (see annex A);G01 physical
43、and chemical properties of the vessels content and their effects on the human body;G01 personal protection.Training shall be repeated as necessary to ensure that personnel remain competent. A record should bemaintained which details the training personnel have received.6 General safety requirements6
44、.1 GeneralBefore any operation the operator should ensure that all equipment is free from any obvious damage or defectwhich can effect its safe operation.Marking and placarding shall not be removed or defaced.EN 14398-3:2003 (E)7Consideration should be given to the product properties and the use of
45、appropriate personal protective equipment.Parts under pressure shall be disconnected only if they have been previously depressurised.When under pressure, leaking valves or connections may only be tightened using suitable tools and procedures.Direct flame or direct intense heat shall never be used to
46、 raise the pressure or de-ice frozen valves.All surfaces which may come in contact with the product shall be kept free from oil and grease. For cleanlinessrequirements, see EN 12300.Outlets, seals and transfer hoses shall be checked to be clean, dry and free from contaminants and visible defectsbefo
47、re connection.Vessels and transfer hoses shall not be modified without proper authorisation.Consideration, shall be given to actions in specific conditions, e. g. thunderstorm.Normal operating valves should normally be opened and closed slowly.6.2 Safety considerationsIn all operations and training
48、the following safety considerations shall be taken into account:G01 small amounts of cryogenic fluids will produce large volumes of vaporised gas. Spillage of cryogenic fluids canresult in an oxygen deficient atmosphere, or in the case of vaporising oxygen, in an oxygen enrichedatmosphere. Provision
49、 is to be made for appropriate measures to take account of this, e.g. ventilation;G01 due to the possibility of cold embrittlement, cryogenic fluids shall only be used in product systems withcomponents which are suitable for low temperatures;G01 vaporising cryogenic fluids produce gases that are heavier than air and can accumulate in lower areas (e.g.pits, trenches);G01 because of their extremely low temperatures, cryogenic fluids will produce cold burns when coming intocontact with the skin. Cold burns can also be produced from contact with u
