THERMOPLASTIC AND FLEXIBLE METAL PIPEWORK FOR UNDERGROUND INSTALLATION AT PETROL FILLING STATIONS
Describes requirements for underground pipework systems used to transfer liquid fuels and their vapors at petrol filling stations.
Standard Details:
This European Standard specifies requirements for underground pipework systems used to transfer liquid fuels and their vapors at petrol filling stations.
Minimum performance requirements covering fitness for purpose, safety, and environmental protection are given.
This European Standard applies to pipework made from thermoplastics, which may include some degree of reinforcement, and to flexible metal pipework. It does not apply to fiber-reinforced thermosets, commonly referred to as glass fiber reinforced plastic (GRP), nor to rigid metals.
This document applies to:
► delivery pipes from tanks to dispensers, including positive pressure.
► vacuum suction and siphon modes.
► fill pipes from road tankers to tanks.
► vapor recovery and vent pipework.
► pipework for secondary containment fittings.
► It does not apply to pipework for use with liquefied petroleum gas.

This European Standard applies to pipework made from thermoplastics, which may include some degree of reinforcement, and to flexible metal pipework. It does not apply to fiber reinforced thermosets, commonly referred to as glass fiber reinforced plastic (GRP), nor to rigid metals. This document applies to: – delivery pipes from tanks to dispensers, including positive pressure, vacuum suction, and siphon modes; – fill pipes from road tankers to tanks; – vapor recovery and vent pipework; – pipework for secondary containment; – fittings. It does not apply to pipework for use with liquefied petroleum gas. Compared with edition 2007, the following fundamental changes are given: – new definitions included; – new types of secondary containment included; – multilayer pipes included; – requirements for static electricity revised; – new test fuels added; – test procedures revised. This standard contains an A-deviation in Annex A (informative) regarding permeation for Germany.
Certification:
All trainees who will pass the final exam will obtain a qualification certificate from TUV (BS EN 14125).
