Automotive fuels - LPG - Requirements and test methods

inactive
Organization: NEN
Publication Date: 1 December 2016
Status: inactive
Page Count: 21
ICS Code (Liquid fuels): 75.160.20
scope:

This European Standard specifies requirements and test methods for marketed and delivered automotive liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). It is applicable to automotive LPG for use in LPG engine vehicles designed to run on automotive LPG. WARNING - Attention is drawn to the risk of fire and explosion when handling LPG and to the hazard to health which arises through inhalation of excessive amounts of LPG. LPG is a highly volatile hydrocarbon liquid which is normally stored under pressure. If the pressure is released large volumes of gas will be produced which form flammable mixtures with air over the range of approximately 2 % (V/V) to 10 % (V/V). This European Standard involves the sampling, handling and testing of LPG. All procedures should be conducted away from sources of ignition such as naked flames, unprotected electrical equipment and electrostatic hazards. Testing should be performed as far as practicable under an electrically-safe ventilation hood. LPG in liquid form can cause cold burns to the skin. Protective clothing such as gloves and goggles need to be worn if contact with the skin is possible. Unnecessary inhalation of LPG vapour need to be avoided. The operator should be exposed to atmospheres containing more than 1 800 mg/m3 over an 8 h time-weighted average (TWA) reference period, or more than 2 250 mg/m3 over a short-term, 10 min reference period. One of the tests described in this European Standard involves the operator inhaling a mixture of air and LPG vapour. Particular attention is drawn to the cautionary statement provided in A.1, where this method is referred to.
