The requirements of RID/ADR override any conflicting requirements of this European Standard; this may lead to a temporary noncompliance with EN 14894. 4.2 Workmanship 4.2.1 All stamp markings shall be affixed clearly, legibly and durably on the cylinder and shall remain legible under all foreseeable operating and ageing conditions. Markings required to be “permanent” shall be such that they can only be removed with the use of special tools and may be done, for example by hard metal stamping, engraving, casting, embossing, encapsulation or other similar methods. Markings required to be “durable” shall be such that they remain visible for the relevant period of time and may be done, for example by printing, external labelling, stencilling, use of valve hand-wheel insert or other similar methods.
Clause 5, Clause 6, Clause 7 and Clause 8 indicate which markings shall be "permanent (P)" and which may be "durable (D)". Markings which are permitted to be durable may be permanently applied if so desired. 4.2.2 For metallic cylinders, the markings shall be located on the shoulder, top end or neck of the cylinder or on a permanently affixed component, e.g. shroud, handle(s), foot ring, welded nameplate, etc.
4.2.3 If markings are applied after completion of manufacture or following periodic inspection, by stamping or engraving onto the pressure parts of the cylinder, it shall be demonstrated by fatigue and burst tests in accordanc
