EN 15208:2014 (E) 4 Introduction Sealed parcel delivery systems, the subject of this European Standard, provide information concerning the content and the status of each compartment, used to transfer liquid fuels from loading gantries to delivery points, and optionally, the delivered quantities. SPDS may be suitable for other application, e.g. sealed transfer of products subject to duties. Sealed parcel delivery systems may be classified according to: — the combination of functions implemented by the system; — the way the functions are implemented (“type of function”). Sealed parcel delivery systems are not measuring instruments but they may be ancillary devices as defined in OIML R 117 [2]. SIST EN 15208:2014

This recording shall be available until the settlement of the transaction has been completed, but for a minimum time period of 15 days. As a minimum, the following transaction data per parcel shall be recorded: — date and time of the transaction; — product quantity; — product grade; — special conditions e.g. empty, not empty; — guaranteed or non-guaranteed cargo. SIST EN 15208:2014



EN 15208:2014 (E) 12 It is not required that the loaded quantity be recorded in the SPDS at the moment of sealing. 5.2.1.2 Non transaction event recording Events, such as sealing, re-sealing, breaking of a seal or changing the status of a parcel, shall be recorded in an electronic memory. The record shall include the time and date of the event. These events may be recorded in a summary if the transaction has been completed. If an automatic empty detection is available any change of the status shall be considered as an event. 5.2.2 Display The secured status of each compartment shall be clearly visible and unambiguous. — Measuring results indication The volume and status of the cargo as presented to the receiver shall be displayed, printed or otherwise securely transferred to the interested parties. — Guaranteed volume The volume of the cargo delivered to a station shall be displayed, printed or otherwise securely transferred to the interested parties. 5.2.3 Data transfer methods Data transfer methods to be used at the loading rack and on the station are described in Annex A, Annex B or Annex C. 5.2.4 Integrity of the data The data transfer and recording shall be safe against interference and manipulation. Errors shall be detected. 5.2.5 System identification Systems using data communication shall have permanently installed identification devices to determine the proper method of communication. 5.3 Loading 5.3.1 Empty status The status of the parcel shall be available prior to loading. If the parcel is not empty the top-up procedures in the applicable annexes shall be followed. 5.3.2 Routing Secured transfer of product shall be achieved by: — ensuring that no product is diverted between the transfer point of the metering set and the routing port of the parcel; SIST EN 15208:2014



EN 15208:2014 (E) 13 — ensuring that no product is lost from the parcel during loading; — the complete sealing of the loaded parcel shall be activated within a time scale that makes fraud or withdrawal of product impossible without detection. The SPDS shall be able to detect or identify which loading arm either is or was connected to which parcel. Identification may be done directly or indirectly. The SPDS shall be able to identify which product grade is about to be loaded or has been loaded into a parcel. Acquisition of product grade may be done directly or indirectly. The SPDS shall be able to exchange data with the depot. Loading data shall contain at least volume and product grade. Data exchange may be done directly or indirectly. 5.4 Delivery 5.4.1 Attended delivery The status of all parcels shall be presented to the receiver along with the allocated cargoes. If the sealed status is not given an individual procedure should be defined. All delivered parcels shall be presented empty after delivery. Otherwise see 5.5. No product shall be diverted between the parcel and the receiving tank. 5.4.2 Unattended delivery The minimum requirements are: — automatic station identification; — automatic empty detection; — a method to transmit securely to the station product grade and volume. Additional requirements may be: — verification of volume which shall be delivered against the available ullage in the tank; — automatic tank identification; — confirmation that volume was delivered into the correct receivers tank. 5.5 Frustrated delivery 5.5.1 Station The return of non-delivered product shall be secured by recording — date and time of last resealing of the relevant parcels before transfer of return; — date and time of end of last delivery at the station, either confirmed by the receiver signature or automatically generated. The return discharge shall be carried out in accordance with 5.5.2. SIST EN 15208:2014



EN 15208:2014 (E) 14 5.5.2 Returns 5.5.2.1 General The safe transportation between the station and the return facility shall be controlled by comparing the time and date of the last resealing before the presentation at the return facility with the time and date of end of last delivery from the tank vehicle at the station. Measuring of returned quantities may not be necessary if the returned product can be delivered in another place to the same receiver, e.g. where a cargo is split between delivery locations. The parcel shall be controlled to be empty at the final delivery location. 5.5.2.2 Non-measured returns The return shall be unloaded in the return facility (which may be a second station). It may not be necessary to control emptiness because no measurement has taken place. 5.5.2.3 Measured returns The unloaded volume shall be measured to conclude the frustrated delivery, volume delivered being the difference between guaranteed cargo and returned volume. The parcel shall be controlled to be empty. The bill of return product with the date and time of last resealing of the relevant parcels as well as their identification shall be issued. Reconciliation of loaded and returned product shall be performed and the results shall be transferred to the receiver of the frustrated delivery. When the returned product is transferred into another parcel of the same tank, the requirements of 5.5.2.1 shall be fulfilled. 5.6 Integrity Any unauthorised, accidental or fraudulent addition to or withdrawal of cargo from a parcel, shall be impossible or shall be detected, this shall also include equipment failure. 6 Design characteristics 6.1 Empty detection If between two transactions the tanker runs with a guaranteed cargo, any change of state of the wet leg sensor shall initiate a seal break.

They are not those devices which only enable cargo transfer within the parcel. Valves or openings which, when opened during normal operation, connect between parcels or parcels to common collectors, shall also be classed as ports. Ports immersed in product which could lead to product leakage shall be monitored. 6.2.2 Examples As an example, for a bottom loaded tank with vapour recovery system, the following devices shall be classed as ports: — API adaptor and discharge valve or manifold valve (operational port); — fill hole cover (access port); — manhole cover (access port); — emergency pressure relief valve (equipment port); — vapour transfer valve (equipment port); — pressure vacuum breather vent (equipment port); — overfill sensor (equipment port); — dip tubes (equipment port). Valve that is not to be classed as port is: — foot valve. SIST EN 15208:2014



EN 15208:2014 (E) 17 6.3 Checking of ports Ports shall be either monitored, sealed, secured or permanently closed. The level of security required shall be dependent upon the performance of the SPDS according to Table 3. — Monitored port Any attempt to open such a port shall be recorded. The port sensor shall be set such that any leakage of more than 10 l/h shall result in the initiation of seal break. In the event of the monitoring system identifying the opening of an access or equipment port, the SPDS shall treat the parcel as unsecured until reset by an authorised person. In case of unsecured equipment port proper condition of equipment port shall be restored. In case of unsecured access port the proper condition of the whole parcel shall be verified. — Sealed por
