Standards
This publication:
- Provides technical guidance on the storage and dispensing of petroleum products including petrol, diesel, autogas (also known as LPG) and biofuels (blends of petrol or diesel containing up to 10 % biomass derived component), used as fuels for motor vehicles, primarily at filling stations to which the general public have access.
- Covers civil, mechanical, hydraulic and electrical installation issues for the planning, design, construction, commissioning, modification, maintenance and decommissioning of filling stations.
- Provides information aimed at minimizing the risks from fire and explosion, to safety, health and to the environment.
- Describes good practice and certain legal requirements, particularly those applicable in the UK.
- Is primarily intended to be applicable to both new sites and existing sites that are modified/refurbished. The guidance should also be useful in providing a benchmark to assist the duty-holder to undertake periodic review of their risk assessment(s) required under specific legislation applying to the facilities.
- Provides general principles that may be applicable to other types of installation where fuels are stored and dispensed for non-retail use.
This document specifies the general requirements and tests for safety devices for fuel gases and oxygen or compressed air which do not incorporate a flame (flashback) arrestor used downstream of manifold, cylinder and/or pipeline outlet regulators, and upstream of blowpipes for welding, cutting and allied processes. This document does not specify the location of these devices in the gas system. This document is not applicable to safety devices which incorporate a flame arrestor, covered by ISO 5175-1.
This standard applies to the storage and handling of portable containers used for storage of Liquefied Petroleum Gases (LPG) and to the transportation of these containers.
This standard does not cover the storage, handling and transport of ammonia cylinders.
: This standard applies to the transport of petroleum and petroleum products by road tanker wagons licensed by the Guyana Energy Agency.
This standard applies to the transportation of petroleum and petroleum products by bulk transportation carriers licensed by the Guyana Energy Agency. This standard does not apply to road tanker wagons, marine transport and to the transportation liquid petroleum gases (LPG).
This standard specifies materials, construction, performance and testing requirements for low pressure single or two stage regulators for use with liquefied petroleum gas mixtures in vapour phase up to 4.903kN/m2 [50gf/cm2 or 500mm water column (WC)] outlet pressure.
