The <br />evaluation was conducted by an independent testing organization for the manufacturer according <br />to the procedures described in "European Standard prEN 13160-2, "Leak Detection Systems — <br />Part 2: Pressure and vacuum system", May 2003. This protocol was adopted by the National <br />Work Group on Leak Detection Evaluations and may be used for the evaluation of vacuum based <br />systems that monitor the interstice of either double-wall tanks or pipelines. <br />Tank owners using this leak detection system should keep this form on file to prove compliance with the <br />federal regulations. Tank owners should check with State and local agencies to make sure this form <br />satisfies their requirements. <br />Method Description <br />Name Veeder-Root Vacuum Interstitial Monitoring System <br />Version Secondary Containment Leak Detection (SCLD) System <br />Vendor Veeder-Root <br />125 Powder Forest Drive P.O. Box 2003 <br />(street address) <br />Simsbury CT 06070 (860) 651-2700 <br />(city) (state) (zip) (phone) <br />Evaluation Results <br />Based on the results above this method (X) does ( ) does not meet the performance standards <br />established by the European Committee for Standardization as specified in "European Standard <br />prEN 13160-2, "Leak Detection Systems — Part 2: Pressure and vacuum system", May 2003 <br />Pipeline and Reservoir Characteristics <br />This protocol does not specify line or tank size based on the test conditions. It does not function <br />as a conventional leak detector, but rather as a system to prevent the loss of product to the <br />environment in as fail safe manner as possible. The protocol specifies that the interstitial space <br />for a tank must be less than or equal to 8 cubic meters (2114 gal). The interstitial space for a line <br />must be less than or equal to 10 cubic meters (2642 gal). There are no other size or design <br />characteristic requirements. <br />
