Scope

This European Standard specifies procedures for assessments and verification of constancy of performance of static polyethylene tanks, (with or without their secondary containment), in relation to their characteristics. These tanks manufactured with or without R-Material (recycled and regrind material) are intended to be used for internal and/or external installations, for above ground storage of fuels.
This European Standard covers the following static thermoplastic tanks, either with or without factory assembled reinforcement, that are made of:

• blow moulded polyethylene (BM), or
• rotationally moulded polyethylene (RM).

With regard to the intended use, this European Standard includes the following fuel:
• kerosene,
• heating oil,
• diesel,
• biofuels.
This European Standard covers static blow moulded polyethylene tanks with capacity > 3 500 l and rotationally moulded polyethylene tanks with capacity > 10 000 l.

This European Standard does not cover static thermoplastic tanks that are intended to be used for the transport and distribution of fuels or gasses, or tanks for the storage of gas.
