This European Standard specifies the requirements for the design including raw materials, calculation, manu-facturing including composite materials, and testing of seamless Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) pressure vessels with protective layer, using only multi-directional filament winding, made in a factory and for use above ground and for storage and processing of fluids. This European Standard covers vessels subject to pressures below 20 MPa and temperatures between - 30 °C and 120 °C. Excluded from this European Standard are transportation vessels, double wall vessels, vessels under nega-tive pressure, vessels which are subjected to the risk of explosion or failure of which may cause an emission of radioactivity.
