European foreword
This document (EN 13480-1:2017) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 267 “Industrial
piping and pipelines”, 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 December 2017, and conflicting national standards shall be
withdrawn at the latest by December 2017.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. CEN [and/or CENELEC] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
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.
This European Standard EN 13480 for metallic industrial piping consists of eight interdependent and not
dissociable Parts which are:
 Part 1: General;
 Part 2: Materials;
 Part 3: Design and calculation;
 Part 4: Fabrication and installation;
 Part 5: Inspection and testing;
 Part 6: Additional requirements for buried piping;
 CEN/TR 13480‐7, Guidance on the use of conformity assessment procedures;
 Part 8: Additional requirements for aluminium and aluminium alloy piping.
Although these Parts may be obtained separately, it should be recognised that the Parts are inter-dependant.
As such the manufacture of metallic industrial piping requires the application of all the relevant Parts in
order for the requirements of the Standard to be satisfactorily fulfilled.
This European Standard will be maintained by a Maintenance MHD working group whose scope of working
is limited to corrections and interpretations related to EN 13480.

Annex A
(informative)
Maintenance of EN 13480
A.1 Introduction
Because of the complexity of the series of European Standards EN 13480 (as illustrated by the number
of figures, tables, and equations), CEN/TC 267 has established a working group in order to regularly
update EN 13480 and to answer queries from users of the standard.
This Annex gives the scope of working for this Maintenance working group and gives indications to
users of the standards on how to submit queries and the process for dealing with their queries.
This is separate from the normal CEN process for amending standards.
A.2 Scope and composition of the Working Group
The scope of this Maintenance working group is limited to corrections and interpretations related to
EN 13480. In order to complete the maintenance of EN 13480, this group should:
 be a central point to collect any queries from users of the standard;
 be able to answer in a very short time the queries;
 be able to give authorised answers, accepted by the "authors" of the standard, within the remit of
clarification and correction;
 have means and methods for ensuring that a query is properly dealt with.
In order to be able to ensure a reliable and efficient follow‐up the evolutions and interpretations given
on EN 13480, this working group is composed of European experts also involved in the preparation of
this standard or in its revision.
A.3 Methods of Maintenance
A.3.1 Administration tools
In order to comply with the above, the working group "Maintenance" is provided with an efficient
administrative secretariat and tools, intended to register, trace and issue the answer for every query as
quickly as possible.
The website where to submit queries can be found at
http://www.unm.fr.
13
BS EN 13480‑1:2017+A1:2019
EN 13480‐1:2017 (E)
Issue 1 (2017‐06)
It is intended to facilitate users of EN 13480 by providing in an accelerated fashion official answers to
questions regarding the application of this European Pressure Equipment Standard as well as updated
information about the evolution of the standard.
In order to facilitate the editing of the requests the website includes a downloadable form for questions
and instructions on how to submit a question.
A.3.2 Submission of queries and consultation of the experts
The electronic template available on the web site includes all the necessary indications in order to keep
track of the request such as date, name and occupation of the enquirer, part of the standard concerned,
etc.
The Administrative Secretariat of the Maintenance working group, when receiving the question, sends a
confirmation of receipt of the question to the enquirer and registers the question in the data base with
an identification number (which consists of the part number, a serial number followed by the full clause
number) and then consults the working group experts.
After subject experts have agreed on an answer, the information on the results of the consultation will
be communicated to the questioner.
A.4 Results of the consultation
In addition to the base standard, there are several types of documents in which the consultation can
result:
 interpretation sheet which gives interpretation and clarification of the rules within the standard ;

A.4.1 Practical provisions for interpretations
Every "simple" interpretation is put as question/answer on the Maintenance working group website
with direct link from CEN website.
When approved by the Maintenance working group, "complex" interpretations can be transmitted to
the Technical Committee CEN/TC 267 for publication as a CEN Technical Report.
These interpretations are periodically revised by the TC to decide whether to incorporate the
interpretation sheet as an amendment to the main text, to keep the interpretation sheet, or to withdraw
it.
