A UN working party, WP 15, that looks at vehicle legislation just agreed to mandate standard EN14025:2008 for the construction of tanks subject to a maximum working pressure exceeding 0.5 bar eg chemical tanks, vacuum waste tanks.
"The adoption of the standard for ADR 2009 means that tank makers will be prohibited from using technical codes as an alternative to CEN standards, said Allan McKenzie, senior manager, vehicle legislation at the SMMT.
"The new standard will be mandatory for all tanks made from 1 July 2009.
Given the present lead times in the truck and trailer business, this will start to bite very soon, so tank makers need to know the details.
