本欧洲标准规定了对于压力为0.5升至150升的压缩和液化气体的无缝钢可运输气瓶（单件或从束组合）定期检查和测试的要求。 注意在可行的情况下，本标准也适用于小于0.5升水容量的气瓶。 本标准规定了定期检查和测试的要求，以验证此类气瓶的完整性将重新投入使用一段时间。它还界定了一项程序，以便使现有气瓶符合欧盟成员国之间的自由流动（见附件A）。 本标准不适用于定期检查和测试乙炔气瓶或复合（完全包裹或环箍）钢瓶

This European Standard specifies the requirements for periodic inspection and testing of seamless steel transportable gas cylinders (single or those from bundles) intended for compressed and liquefied gases under pressure, of water capacity from 0,5 l up to 150 l. NOTE As far as practicable, this standard may also be applied to cylinders of less than 0,5 l water capacity. This standard specifies the requirements for periodic inspection and testing to verify the integrity of such gas cylinders to be reintroduced into service for a further period of time. It also defines a procedure to qualify existing gas cylinders for free movement between member states of the European Union (see annex A). This standard does not apply to periodic inspection and testing of acetylene cylinders or composite (fully wrapped or hoop-wrapped) steel cylinders.
