This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by October 2012, and conflicting national standards
26、 shall be withdrawn at the latest by October 2012. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights.

DIN EN 15609:2012-07 EN 15609:2012 (E) 5 Introduction This E
31、uropean Standard specifies requirements for the installation of equipment for the use of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (hereafter referred to as LPG) in the propulsion systems of small craft. This European Standard calls for the use of substances and procedures that can be injurious to health if adequate
32、precautions are not taken. It refers only to technical suitability: it does not absolve the user from their legal obligations relating to health and safety at any stage. Protection of the environment is a key political issue in Europe and elsewhere. Protection of the environment in this document is
33、understood in a very broad sense. The phrase is used, for example, in relation to the total life-cycle aspects of a product on the environment (including expenditure of energy) during all phases of its existence, from use, to scrapping, to recycling of materials, etc. Annex I comprises an environmen
34、tal checklist which highlights the clauses of this European Standard that address environmental aspects. It has been assumed in the drafting of this European Standard that the execution of its provisions is entrusted to appropriately qualified and experienced persons. This European Standard is based
35、 on EN 12979 3. DIN EN 15609:2012-07 EN 15609:2012 (E) 6 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the requirements for LPG propulsion systems on craft with hull lengths less than or equal to 24 m, including those defined by Directive 94/25/EC. This European Standard does not cover appliances with di
36、rectly attached gas cylinders, such as portable self-contained camping stoves and portable gas lamps. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.
