European foreword
This document (EN 12542:2020) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 286 “Liquefied
petroleum gas equipment and accessories”, the secretariat of which is held by NSAI.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an
identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by February 2021, and conflicting national standards shall
be withdrawn at the latest by February 2021.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document has been prepared under a standardization request given to CEN by the European
Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of
EU Directive(s).
For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this
document.
This document supersedes EN 12542:2010.
The following main changes have been introduced during the revision of EN 12542:2010:
— a reference to “CEN/TS 16765 LPG equipment and accessories - Environmental considerations for
CEN/TC 286 standards” has been added and the existing wording has been amended (including the
deletion of environmental references throughout this document);
— Annex J Environmental checklist has been deleted;
— inclusion of the use of compensation calculations from EN 13445-3:2014, in order to reduce the
distance between openings or branches;
— a new informative Annex J Exterior corrosion protective coating with special performance against
chemical and mechanical attacks has been added.
According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the
following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia,
Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland,
Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Republic of North
Macedonia, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United

Introduction
This document calls for the use of substances and procedures that may be injurious to health and/or the
environment if adequate precautions are not taken. It refers only to technical suitability and does not
absolve the user from legal obligations at any stage.
Protection of the environment is a key political issue in Europe and elsewhere; for CEN/TC 286 this is
covered in CEN/TS 16765, LPG equipment and accessories — Environmental considerations for
CEN/TC 286 standards, and this Technical Specification should be read in conjunction with this document.
This Technical Specification provides guidance on the environmental aspects to be considered regarding
equipment and accessories produced for the LPG industry and the following is addressed:
a) design;
b) manufacture;
c) packaging;
d) use and operation;
e) disposal.
Provisions should be restricted to a general guidance. Limit values are specified in national laws.
It is recommended that manufacturers develop an environmental management policy. For guidance
see the ISO 14000 series.
It has been assumed in the drafting of this document that the execution of its provisions is entrusted to
appropriately qualified and experienced people.
All pressures are gauge pressures unless otherwise stated.
NOTE This document requires measurement of material properties, dimensions and pressures. All such
measurements are subject to a degree of uncertainty due to tolerances in measuring equipment, etc. It may be
beneficial to refer to the leaflet “Measurement Uncertainty Leaflet (SP INFO 2000 27 uncertainty.pdf )”.
