BS EN 13616-2:2016

What is BS EN 13616-2- Overfill prevention devices without a closure device about?  

BS EN 13616 discusses overfill prevention devices for static tanks for liquid fuels.  

BS EN 13616-2 is the first part of BS EN 13616 and discusses overfill prevention devices without a closure device.   Overfill prevention devices in BS EN 13616-2 intended to be used in/with underground and/or above ground, non-pressurized, static tanks designed for liquid fuels.  

The overfill prevention device without a closure device is usually composed of an overfill prevention sensor consisting of: 

• Sensor 
• Electrical interface 
• Mechanical interface 
• Overfill prevention controller according to EN 16657 

NOTE: Liquid fuel means liquids for internal combustion engines, heating/cooling boilers and generators.  

Who is BS EN 13616-2- Overfill prevention devices without a closure device for? 

BS EN 13616-2 on overfill prevention devices without a closure device used for static tanks for liquid fuels is useful for: 

• Static tank manufacturers  
• Value manufacturers  
• Quality control personnel 
• Inspection personnel  

Why should you use BS EN 13616-2- Overfill prevention devices without a closure device?  

Overfill prevention device installed in a supply system, which automatically stops the delivery, preventing the liquid level in the tank from exceeding a final closure level.   

BS EN 13616-2 provides you with requirements, test, and assessment methods, marking, labeling, and packaging applicable to overfill prevention devices without a closure device. BS EN 13616-2 also provides you with assessment and verification of constancy of performance of overfill prevention devices without a closure device.  

BS EN 13616-2 helps you manufacture high-quality overfill prevention devices without a closure device. 

What’s changed since the last update?  

BS EN 13616-2:2016 supersedes BS EN 13616:2004. BS EN 13616-2:2016 includes some technical changes with respect to BS EN 13616:2004. These include: 

• Splitting of EN 13616:2004; the new EN 13616, under the general title Overfill prevention devices for static tanks for liquid fuels, will consist of the following parts:  
• Part 1: Overfill prevention devices with a closure device 
• Part 2: Overfill prevention devices without a closure device  
• Reference to EN 14116 
• Technical parameters regarding explosion updated 
• The requirements for the equipment of the overfill prevention devices with a closure device on the static tank are fixed in EN 13616-1 
• The requirements for the equipment of the overfill prevention devices without a closure device on the tank vehicle were shifted to EN 16657, Tanks for the transport of dangerous goods —Transport tank equipment for overfill prevention devices for static tanks
