clause. This European Standard adds clauses or sub clauses to the structure of EN 13611:2007 (e. g. clause
3.35 and 6.4.9). Note that these clauses or not indicated as an addition.
Note that the following provides details of significant technical changes between this European Standard and
the previous edition:
a) incorporation of the requirements and tests for electronic pressure sensing devices (EPSDs);
