DIN EN 1440:2016-07

The European Standard has been prepared by CEN/TC 286/WG 7 "Operational requirements - Transportable LPG cylinders and static LPG tanks" (secretariat: AFNOR, France). 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 collaborated in preparation of the standard. This European Standard specifies procedures for periodic inspection and testing, for transportable refillable LPG cylinders with a water capacity from 0,5 l up to and including 150 l. It is applicable to welded and brazed steel LPG cylinders with a specified minimum wall thickness designed according to EN 1442, EN 12807, EN 13322-1 and Annex I, Parts 1 to 3 of Council Directive 84/527/EEC or equivalent standard (for example national codes). 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. This European Standard does not apply to cylinders permanently installed in vehicles. This standard differs from DIN EN 1440:2012-06 as follows: a) the scope of application has been restricted to welded or brazed steel cylinders; b) protected (formed) cylinders, cylinders of alternative design (according to DIN EN 14140), welded aluminum cylinders (according to DIN EN 13110) and cylinders made of composite materials (according to EN 14427) have been excluded from the scope of application (DIN EN 16728 will apply to these in future); c) The associated Annexes B, C, D and G have been deleted.
