UNI EN 13617-1:2012

This European Standard applies to metering pumps, dispensers and remote pumping units to be installed at petrol filling stations, designed to dispense liquid fuels into the tanks of motor vehicles, boats and light aircraft and into portable containers at flow rates up to 200 l min-1, and intended for use and storage at ambient temperatures between -20 °C and +40 °C. Measures in addition to those required by this European Standard may be required for use and storage at temperature outside this range. The need for and nature of additional requirements should be determined by the manufacturer, if necessary after consulting the client. This European Standard deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to metering pumps, dispensers and remote pumping units, when they are used as intended and under the conditions foreseeable by the manufacturer. This European Standard gives health and safety related requirements for the selection, construction and performance of the equipment. This European Standard does not deal with noise and with hazards related to transportation and installation. This European Standard does not include any requirements for metering performance. Vapour recovery efficiency rates are not considered within this European Standard. Fuels other than of Explosion Group IIA are excluded from this European Standard. This European Standard is not applicable to metering pumps, dispensers and remote pumping units which are manufactured before the date of publication of this document by CEN. This European Standard does not apply to equipment for use with liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) or liquefied natural gas (LNG) or compressed natural gas (CNG). This European Standard “Petrol filling stations” consists of 4 parts: Part 1: Safety requirements for construction and performance of metering pumps, dispensers and remote pumping units. Part 2: Safety requirements for construction and performance of safe breaks for use on metering pumps and dispensers. Part 3: Safety requirements for construction and performance of shear valves. Part 4: Safety requirements for construction and performance of swivels for use on metering pumps and dispensers. The key purpose for the review of the standards was to consider biofuels. In practice, we only changed EN 13617-1. Part 1 will supersede EN 13617-1:2004+A1:2009. According to edition EN 13617-1:2009 the following fundamental changes have been made: the normative references have been updated; 6.1.4.2 the test method for cables includes those required for use with biodiesel has been revised; 6.1.8.2 the test method for seals and gaskets includes those required for use with biofuels - addition a new note at the end of the scope: ‘Fuels other than of Explosion Group IIA are excluded from this European Standard' has been added; addition of 7.2.1; the existing 7.2 has been put in 7.2.2; the informative Annex C concerning environmental aspects has been added. This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s). For relationship with EU Directives, see informative Annexes ZA and ZB, which are integral parts of this document.
