Foreword
This document EN 13458-1:2002 has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 268 "Cryogenic vessels",
the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or
by endorsement, at the latest by November 2002, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest
by November 2002.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European
Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s).
For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative annex ZA, which is an integral part of this document.
EN 13458 consists of the following parts under the general title, Cryogenic vessels – Static vacuum insulated
vessels:
– Part 1: Fundamental requirements.
– Part 2: Design, fabrication, inspection and testing.– Part 3: Operational requirements.
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following
countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland,
France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain,
Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
1 Scope
This European Standard specifies the fundamental requirements for static vacuum insulated cryogenic vessels
designed for a maximum allowable pressure greater than 0,5 bar.
This European Standard applies to static vacuum insulated cryogenic vessels for fluids as specified in 3.1.
For static vacuum insulated cryogenic vessels designed for a maximum allowable pressure of not more than
0,5 bar, this standard can be used as a guide.
This European Standard is not applicable to vessels built on-site.
2 Normative references

3.2
static cryogenic vessels
thermally insulated vessel intended for use with one or more cryogenic fluids at a stationary place, consisting of an
inner vessel, an outer jacket and the piping system. This static cryogenic vessel is not intended to be transported
filled. It may be transported empty or containing marginal residues of cryogenic fluid or gas from one static location
to another. This static cryogenic vessel represents a complete assembly ready for putting into service
3.3
thermal insulation
vacuum interspace between the inner vessel and the outer jacket. The space may or may not be filled with material
to reduce the heat transfer between the inner vessel and the outer ja
