DIN EN 16728:2016-07

The primary objective of the periodic inspection of transportable refillable liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cylinders is that, at the completion of the tests, the cylinders can be re-introduced into service for a further period of time. This European Standard specifies procedures for periodic inspection and testing, for transportable refillable LPG cylinders with a water capacity from 0,5 l up to and including 150 l. It is applicable to the following: - welded steel LPG cylinders manufactured to an alternative design and construction, see EN 14140 or equivalent standard; - welded aluminium LPG cylinders, see EN 13110 or equivalent standard; - composite LPG cylinders, see EN 14427 or equivalent standard; - over-moulded cylinders designed and manufactured according to EN 1442 or EN 14140, see Annex F. This Standard does not apply to cylinders permanently installed in vehicles. Together with EN 1440:2016 it will supersede the standard EN 1440:2008+A1:2012.
