No matter if you have an LPG system in your mobile home or leisure vehicle, you must have it inspected either way.

Mobile home

Mobile homes in Germany are not considered vehicles and fall within the scope of building regulations. There are two options of sets of rules which are to be applied during installation – and accordingly during testing:

  • Option 1

The LPG system is created in accordance with the Technical Rules for LPG (TRF), then also checked afterwards.

  • Option 2

DIN EN 1949 is the basis of the installation. The test is then carried out in accordance with worksheet G 607 (A) of the German Technical and Scientific Association for Gas and Water (DVGW).

If you use your mobile home for commercial purposes, you must also observe the provisions of regulation 79 of the German Statutory Accident Insurance Regulation (DGUV) – formerly BGV D34 – no matter if you install it according to TRF or DIN EN 1949.

Frequently used for mobile homes: Two-cylinder system for 33 kg gas cylinders.

Frequently used for mobile homes: Two-cylinder system for 33 kg gas cylinders.

Leisure vehicle

DVGW worksheet G 607 (A) and DIN EN 1949 applies to LPG systems in caravans and motor caravans. As with mobile homes, you must also comply with the requirements of DGUV V 79 if you also or exclusively use your leisure vehicle for commercial purposes.

Das DVGW-Arbeitsblatt G 607 gilt sowohl für Caravans als auch für Reisemobile.

The DVGW worksheet G 607 applies for caravans as well as for motor caravans.

Information regarding technical systems

This blog will never ask members of the public or unqualified persons to make changes to or fiddle around with technical systems themselves.

In accordance with the Industrial Safety Regulation (BetrSichV), a qualified person must take care of a system which requires monitoring.

A qualified person is someone who has the specific specialist knowledge required. This knowledge is gained by way of a professional apprenticeship, corresponding professional experience or current occupational activity.

Please note that the texts are based on information, regulations and standards for Germany. Please always check the rules and regulations in the relevant country of destination and consult specialists if necessary.
