This European Standard specifies the requirements for the design, manufacture, identification and testing of battery vehicles containing cylinders, tubes or bundles of cylinders. It is applicable to battery vehicles containing compressed gas, liquefied gas and mixtures thereof. It is also applicable to battery vehicles for dissolved acetylene. This standard is not applicable to toxic gases with an LC50 value less than or equal to 200 ml/m3. This European Standard does not apply to battery vehicles containing pressure drums or tanks, or to multi-element gas containers (MEGC). This Standard applies also to battery vehicles containing bundles of cylinders connected by a manifold which are dis-assembled from the battery vehicle and filled individually. This European Standard does not specify requirements for the vehicle chassis or motive unit. This standard is primarily for industrial gases other than Liquefied Petroleum Gases (LPG) but may also be used for LPG.
