This European standard covers the equipment to be used to achieve a satisfactory connection between the fixed installation and a tank transporting dangerous substances for the effective transfer of vapour.
This standard specifies the performance requirements and the critical dimensions of the vapour recovery adaptor fitted to the tank and the mating coupler fitted to a hose or to pipework connected to the fixed installation. It also specifies the tests necessary to verify the compliance of the equipment with this standard. The equipment specified by this standard is suitable for use with liquid petroleum products and other dangerous substances of Class 3 of ADR - European Agreement concerning the international carriage of dangerous goods by road (flammable liquids) which have a vapour pressure not exceeding 110 kPa, at 50 °C (including petrol), and which have no subclassification as toxic or corrosive.
