Petrol filling stations. Safety requirements for construction and performance of metering pumps, dispensers and remote pumping units | Status: Superseded, Withdrawn

1 Scope 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 (see Clause 4). 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 the ones 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).
