BS EN 12806 is a European Standard that covers guidelines for automotive LPG components, ensuring the safety and durability of LPG components.
BS EN 12806 specifies the general design and testing requirements for all components, in automotive LPG propulsion systems, which have a working pressure equal to or greater than 20kPa.
BS EN 12806 specifies the requirements for the Electric Control Unit (ECU), which is not subjected to pressure, and the gas-tight housing which has a working pressure below 20 kPa
Note: BS EN 12806 excludes containers.
BS EN 12806 on Automotive LPG components is useful for:
Vehicles contain high combustible gases and components like LPG. Therefore, failure of engines may sometimes cause sparks which is not safe. It is important to keep the containers insulated and safe from accidents.
BS EN 12806 provides users guidance on technical requirements for automotive LPG components, including general design rules, materials and design temperature, enabling users to effectively design automotive LPG components for improved efficiency and performance.
Adoption of BS EN 12806 enables users to ensure the safety of automotive LPG components and compliance with required regulations.
