TS EN 14116+A1

TS EN 14116+A1 addresses the digital interface used with product recognition devices for liquid fuels on tanks for the transport of dangerous goods. Its focus is the interface at the product loading and/or discharge coupling, where product-related information is exchanged between equipment; in practice, this makes interoperability, consistent signalling and safe information transfer the key technical concerns.

What the interface does in tank operations

In general technical terms, product recognition devices help reduce incorrect product handling by identifying or verifying the product associated with a tank operation. The digital interface is the communication layer that allows such devices and related equipment to exchange product data in a defined way. That matters because liquid-fuel handling in transport systems depends on reliable identification, compatible communication and clear coordination between connected devices.

What this standard establishes

According to the supplied scope, this standard specifies performance requirements, critical safety aspects and tests for the digital interface so that compatible devices can work together. The standard is therefore about the interface level of the system, not about the whole tank or the complete vehicle design. Its subject is the transfer of product-related information at the coupling point used during loading and/or discharge.

This listing is for a withdrawn standard. It is based on EN 14116:2012+A1:2014 and retains the subject area of digital communication for product recognition equipment in dangerous-goods tank transport.
