Transportable gas cylinders - Gas cylinder identification (excluding LPG) - Part 3: Colour coding

This European Standard specifies a colour coding system for the secondary method of identification of the contents of gas cylinders for industrial gases, breathing gas application and gases for medical use with particular reference to the properties of the gas or gas mixture. This European Standard does not apply to cylinders containing liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), to refrigerant gases, to portable fire extinguishers or stationary cylinder extinguishing. Bundle colour coding is not addressed by this or other standards.

Ortsbewegliche Gasflaschen - Gasflaschen-Kennzeichnung (ausgenommen Flüssiggas LPG) - Teil 3: Farbcodierung

Diese Norm legt ein Farbcodierungssystem als Zweitmethode zur Kennzeichnung des Inhaltes von
Gasflaschen für Industriegase und Gase für die medizinische Verwendung mit besonderem Verweis auf die
Eigenschaft des Gases oder des Gasgemisches fest. Flaschenaufkleber stellen die Hauptmethode zur
Kennzeichnung des Gasflascheninhaltes dar.
Diese Norm gilt nicht für Flaschen, welche Flüssiggas (LPG, en.: Liquified Petroleum Gas) enthalten oder für
Feuerlöscher.
ANMERKUNG LPG beinhaltet Stoffe, die unter der UN-Nummer 1965 "Kohlenwasserstoffgas, Gemisch, verflüssigt,
N.A.G." transportiert werden.

Bouteilles à gaz transportables - Identification de la bouteille à gaz (GPL exclu) - Partie 3: Code couleur

La présente norme spécifie un système de codage par couleur comme seconde méthode d’identification du contenu des bouteilles à gaz à usage industriel et des bouteilles à gaz médicaux, avec référence particulière à la propriété du gaz ou du mélange de gaz. Les étiquettes de bouteilles constituent la première méthode permettant d’indiquer le contenu d’une bouteille.
La présente norme ne s’applique pas aux bouteilles contenant du gaz de pétrole liquéfié (GPL) ni aux extincteurs.
NOTE   Le GPL contient des substances portant le numéro ONU 1965 « Hydrocarbures gazeux en mélange liquéfié, N.S.A ».

Premične plinske jeklenke - Označevanje jeklenk (razen UNP) - 3. del: Barvno označevanje

Ta evropski standard določa sistem barvnega označevanja za sekundarno metodo identifikacije vsebine jeklenk za industrijske pline, aplikacije z dihalnim plinom in pline za medicinsko uporabo, s posebnim sklicevanjem na lastnosti plina ali plinske mešanice. Ta evropski standard ne velja za jeklenke, ki vsebujejo utekočinjeni naftni plin (UNP), hladilne pline, prenosne gasilske aparate in stacionarne jeklenke za gašenje. Ne ta ne drugi standardi ne obravnavajo barvnega označevanja v svežnjih.

EN 1089-3:2011 (E) 3 Foreword This document (EN 1089-3:2011) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 23 “Transportable gas cylinders”, 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 January 2012, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by January 2012. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN [and/or CENELEC] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document supersedes EN 1089-3:2004. This document has been technically revised by the following: a) the white colouration of gas cylinder body dedicated for medical use; b) the new specific colour dedicated to nitric oxide/ nitrogen for medical use; c) the introduction of definitions (gas for medical use, breathing gas, industrial gas); d) the application of bright green colouration for inert gas mixtures N2 or He with O2 less than 20 % (exception for the two specific colours); e) the restriction of configuration of two colours on shoulder as quadrants to air (medical use or for breathing use); f) a guidance for the selection of shoulder with typical examples of assignment of colour. 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). According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.

EN 1089-3:2011 (E) 4 Introduction The labelling of gas cylinders as required by the RID/ADR- Regulations is the primary method of indicating dangers of cylinder contents. However, colour coding is used to identify the contents of gas cylinders from a distance, e.g. in case of a fire. It is recognized that other systems are in use and may be used in conjunction with the requirements of this European Standard. This European standard, along with EN ISO 13769, EN ISO 21007-1 and EN ISO 21007-2 belongs to a series of European Standards specifying gas cylinder identification requirements. NOTE Labelling and marking of gas cylinders is subject to provisions of RID/ADR which take precedence over marking clauses in this standard.
