Tanks for transport of dangerous goods - Terminology
This document provides additional terms and definitions to those written in the European Agreement Concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR) or the Regulations concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Rail (RID), appearing as Appendix C to the Convention concerning International Carriage by Rail (COTIF).
This document forms part of series of documents prepared by CEN/TC 296 regarding the transport of dangerous goods. The series supports the proper application of the ADR and RID.
This document is applicable to tanks used for the transport of dangerous goods.
This document does not apply to carriage in bulk of dangerous goods.
For convenience, Annex A (informative) repeats some horizontal definitions taken from ADR 2017 chapter 1.2, and Annex B (informative) repeats some definitions from ADR 2017 chapter 6.7, specific to portable tanks.
NOTE The ADR is updated on a regular basis, therefore Annexes A and B might become out of date.
Annexes C, D and E (informative) provide alphabetical trilingual indexes of terms in English, French and German where the key is English, French and German respectively.
Annex F (normative) is a schematic diagram of tank openings and closures according to the tank code.

About This Item
TS EN 14564 is a terminology standard that clarifies the common language used for tanks in the transport of dangerous goods. It adds terms and definitions to those already appearing in ADR and RID, helping technical documentation, design work and regulatory communication use the same concepts consistently. In practice, this kind of standard supports a shared vocabulary for tank-related equipment and the way it is described.
Why terminology matters in tank transport
In dangerous goods transport, a tank is not just a container: it is a transport unit that must be understood together with its openings, closures, fittings and related safety arrangements. Clear terminology helps distinguish concepts such as portable tanks, tank openings and closure devices, and it supports a consistent reading of ADR and RID provisions. That reduces ambiguity when technical drawings, instructions and compliance documents refer to the same item in different contexts.
What this document covers
- Provides additional terms and definitions to ADR and RID.
- Forms part of the CEN/TC 296 series on dangerous goods transport.
- Applies to tanks used for the transport of dangerous goods.
- Does not apply to carriage in bulk of dangerous goods.
- Includes informative trilingual alphabetical indexes and a schematic diagram of tank openings and closures.
From a general technical perspective, a terminology standard creates a stable reference point for designers, manufacturers, inspectors and operators. It improves consistency in technical drawings, training material and compliance records, especially where tank components and operating features need to be named precisely. Rather than replacing ADR or RID, it supports their correct and consistent application.
Annexes A and B repeat some definitions for convenience, while the later annexes provide alphabetical indexes and schematic representation. This makes it easier to locate terms and to relate tank openings and closure arrangements to the same technical vocabulary used across the transport chain.
