16、rs“, the secretariat of which is held by BSI. 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of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by August 2002, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by August 2002. In th

17、is standard the annexes B, C, D, E, F, G and H are normative and the annexes A and I are informative. This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports the objectives of the framework Directives on Transport

18、of Dangerous Goods. This European Standard has been submitted for reference into the RID and/or the technical annexes of the ADR. Therefore in this context the standards listed in the normative references and covering basic requirements of the RID/ADR not addressed within the present standard are no

19、rmative only when the standards themselves are referred to in the RID and/or the technical annexes of the ADR. According to the CENKENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Czech Repu

20、blic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. 3 EN 1802:2002 (E) I nt rod uction The principal aim of a periodic inspection and testing procedure is that at the completion

21、 of the test the cylinders may be reintroduced into service for a further period of time. Experience of the inspection and testing of cylinders which is specified in this European Standard is an important factor when determining whether a cylinder should be returned into service. 4 EN 1802:2002 (E)

22、1 Scope This European Standard specifies the requirements for periodic inspection and testing of seamless aluminium alloy transportable gas cylinders (single or those from bundles) intended for compressed and liquefied gases under pressure, of water capacity from 0,5 I up to 150 I. NOTE As far as pr

23、acticable, this standard may also be applied to cylinders of less than 0,5 I water capacity. This standard specifies the requirements for periodic inspection and testing to verify the integrity of such gas cylinders to be reintroduced into service for a further period of time. It also defines a proc

24、edure to qualify existing gas cylinders for free movement between member states of the European Union (see annex A). This standard does not apply to periodic inspection and testing of acetylene cylinders or composite (fully wrapped or hoop-wra pped) aluminium alloy cylinders. 2 Normative references

25、This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These normative references are cited at the appropriate place in the text, and the publications are listed hereafter. For dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these pub

A cylinder shall fall due for a periodic inspection and test on its first receipt

33、by a filler after the expiry of the interval in annex B. NOTE RID/ADR regulations and also gives recommendations which could be subsequently adopted by the RID/ADR regulations. Table B.l gives a list of the intervals between periodic inspections for some gases which complies with the current Provide

34、d the cylinder has been subjected to normal conditions of use and has not been subjected to abusive and abnormal conditions rendering the cylinder unsafe, there is no general requirement for the user to return a gas cylinder before the contents have been used even though the test interval may have l

35、apsed. However it is suggested that cylinders are retested within a period not exceeding twice the time interval. In the case of cylinders used for emergency purposes (e.g. fire extinguishers, breathing apparatus), it is the responsibility of the person in possession (owner or user) to submit it for

36、 a periodic inspection within the interval specified in annex B or as specified in the relevant cylinder design standard/regulation, if this is shorter. 4 List of procedures for periodic inspection and test The inspection and test shall be carried out only by competent persons who shall ensure that

37、the cylinders are fit for continued safe use. NOTE A competent person is a person who has the necessary technical knowledge, experience and authority to assess and approve materials for use with gases and to define any special conditions of use that are necessary. Such a person will also normally be

38、 formally qualified in an appropriate technical discipline. Each cylinder shall be submitted to periodic inspection and test. The following procedures form the requirements for such inspection and test, and are explained more fully in later clauses: - identification of cylinder and preparation for i

39、nspection and test (clause 5); - external visual inspection (clause 6); - internal visual inspection (clause 7); - supplementary tests (clause 8); - inspection of cylinder neck/shoulder (clause 9); - pressure test or ultrasonic test (clause 1 O); - inspection of valve (clause 11); - final operations

40、 (clause 12); - rejection and rendering cylinders unserviceable (clause 13). Where cylinders are manufactured according to National Regulations and are intended to be qualified under the Transportable Pressure Equipment Directive (TPED) for free movement and use between member states of the European

41、 Union, additional requirements are specified in annex A. It is recommended that the above listed tests are performed in the suggested sequence. In particular the internal visual examination (clause 7) should be carried out before the pressure test or ultrasonic test (clause IO). Cylinders which fai

42、l the inspection or tests shall be rejected (see clause 13). When, after the above tests, doubts still exist as to the extent of a defect or the condition of a cylinder, then additional tests may be performed in accordance with clause 8, until such doubts are positively resolved or the cylinder shal

43、l be rendered unserviceable. Some cylinders rejected during periodic inspection and test may be recovered in accordance with annex C. 6 EN 1802:2002 (E) Mechanical properties of aluminium alloy cylinders can be affected by heat. Therefore, the maximum temperature for any operation shall be limited.

44、(See 12.1.2.) 5 Identification of cylinder and preparation for inspection and test Before any work is carried out, the relevant cylinder data (e.g. see EN 1089-1) and its contents and ownership shall be identified. The cylinders shall be depressurised and emptied in a safe, controlled manner before

45、proceeding. Particular attention shall be given to cylinders containing flammable, oxidising and toxic gases to eliminate risks at the internal inspection stage. Cylinders with incorrect markings, unknown gas contents, or those which cannot be safely emptied of gas, shall be set aside for special ha

46、ndling. Cylinders with inoperative or blocked valves may be treated as outlined in annex D. Provided the requirements above have been complied with, and the cylinder has been depressurized safely, the valve shall be removed. Similarly in the case of cylinder bundles, not equipped with cylinder valve

47、s, the connecting tee junction shall also be checked to determine whether the gas is able to pass freely from the cylinder to atmosphere. 6 External visual inspection 6.1 Preparation for external visual inspection Each cylinder shall be cleaned and have all loose coatings, corrosion products, tar, o

48、il or other foreign matter removed from its external surface by a suitable method, e.g. by brushing, shot blasting (under closely controlled conditions), water jet abrasive cleaning, chemical cleaning (see annex E or consult the cylinder manufacturer) or other suitable methods. Alkaline solutions an

49、d paint strippers which are harmful to aluminium and its alloys shall not be used. Care shall be taken at all times to avoid damaging the cylinder, or removing excess amounts of cylinder wall. If fused nylon, polyethylene or a similar coating has been applied and is seen to be damaged, or prevents a proper inspection, then the coating shall be removed. If the coating is removed by the application of heat at a temperaturehme exceeding the limits specified in 12.1.2 or shows signs of heat damage, the manufacturer shall be consulted before the cylinder is returned to service
