DIN EN 1439:2017-10

This European Standard specifies the procedures to be adopted when checking transportable refillable LPG cylinders before, during and after filling. This European Standard applies to transportable refillable LPG cylinders of water capacity not exceeding 150 l and deemed to be fitted with valves designed according to EN ISO 14245 and EN ISO 15995. This European Standard does not cover the requirements for filling LPG cylinders that are designed and equipped for filling by the user. This European Standard does not cover the requirements for filling LPG containers on vehicles. This European Standard is applicable to the following: - welded and brazed steel LPG cylinders with a specified minimum wall thickness (see EN 1442 and EN 12807 or an equivalent standard); - welded steel LPG cylinders without specified minimum wall thickness (see EN 14140 or an equivalent standard); - welded aluminium LPG cylinders (see EN 13110 or an equivalent standard); - composite LPG cylinders (see EN 14427 or an equivalent standard); and - over-moulded cylinders (OMC). Specific requirements for the different types of cylinders are detailed in Annex A, Annex B, Annex C, Annex D and Annex G. This European Standard is intended to be applied to cylinders complying with RID/ADR (including pi marked cylinders) and also to existing non RID/ADR cylinder populations. The standard differs from DIN EN 1439:2008-06 as follows: a) definitions have been updated and changed; b) changes to the requirements for Clause 6; c) addition of requirements for 7.3; d) addition of requirements for cylinders made of composite materials with a metallic liner in Annex D. This European Standard has been prepared by CEN/TC 286/WG 7 "Operational requirements – Transportable LPG cylinders and static LPG tanks" (secretariat: AFNOR, France) of CEN/TC 286 "Liquefied petroleum gas equipment and accessories" (secretariat: NSAI, Ireland). Working Committee NA 016-00-06 AA "Flüssiggas-Geräte und Ausrüstung; Spiegelausschuss zu CEN/TC 286" ("Liquefied petroleum gas equipment and accessories; Mirror Committee of CEN/TC 286") at DIN Standards Committee Pressurized Gas Installations (NDG) collaborated in preparation of the standard.
