Scope

This document specifies minimum requirements for the inspection and testing of the LPG road tanker, which includes its pressure vessel, accessories and vehicle LPG equipment.

This document does not specify requirements for the initial inspection (after manufacture) of a pressure vessel, see EN 12493, or for service equipment on the road tanker, see EN 12252.

This document does not apply to compartmented road tankers.

NOTE 1 There is no upper size limit for the pressure vessel as this will be determined by the gross vehicle weight limitation.

NOTE 2 For inspection and testing requirements of equipment other than the pressure vessel, accessories and vehicle LPG equipment, see applicable regulations.

Purpose

- technical comments received by GB.

- problems with the competent authorities regarding the leakproofness test which is impossible to pass during an intermediate inspection, because the test pressure of 8 bar cannot be reached.

- PRVs should be added to the inspections
