BS EN 13121-3 is European Standard adopted by UK, tiyled "GRP tanks and vessels for use above ground. Design and workmanship". Design and workmanship is the final part within a four parts standard series which specifies the necessary requirements for design, fabrication, inspection and testing by manufacturers and specifiers within the area of chemical storage[1]

The standard was prepared under the European Commission Mandate 83/139/EEC the Pressure Equipment Directive (PED). In Europe this has been in force since May 2002 and all organizations in the European Union are obliged to comply with it.

Industry Concern

The base standard BS4994 was a "bible" for all in the industry dealing with FRP tanks and vessels and dual laminates. This new standard is a disappointment for engineers, subject experts and business houses. There are a lots of uncertainities and still a vendor is not available who can provide rawmaterial that meet requirements of this standard and thus the application of this standard is still a question mark.
