Further requirements are presented in normative Annex G.

The terms vessels and tanks as used in this part of EN 13121 include branches up to the point of connection to pipe work or other equipment by bolting and supports, brackets or other attachments bonded directly to the shell.

• underground storage tanks;
• spherical vessels;
• vessels and tanks of irregular shape;
• tanks and vessels with double containment where the double wall is considered structural;
