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.

1.2 The standard outlines:
(a) general rules of conduct concerning safety;
(b) details for fire emergency and rescue procedures;
(c) general laboratory techniques.
1.3 This standard does not cover hazards relating to radioactive substances.
This standard specifies requirements for the operation of laboratories and is applicable to all laboratories regardless of the number of personnel or the extent of the scope of testing activities.
This standard is for use by laboratories in developing their quality, administrative and technical systems that govern their operations. Any party may use this standard when confirming or recognising the competence of laboratories.
This standard specifies requirements for the operation of testing and/or calibration laboratories. It is applicable to all laboratories regardless of the number of personnel or the extent of the scope of testing activities.
This standard applies to electric cooking and heating appliances and to electric ,motor-operated or magnetically-driven appliances for household and similar purposes, including office machines.
This standard specifies
attachment fused and unfused plugs (caps), shuttered receptacles (sockets) for
flush surface mounting. These plugs and sockets are suitable for alternating
current circuits only of voltages not exceeding 250 volts and currents not
exceeding 15 amperes. The plugs and
receptacles covered by this standard are intended for use in making readily detachable
electrical connections in non-hazardous locations between supply circuits and
portable lamps, appliances and similar equipment.
This standard specifies requirements for two grades of unleaded gasoline in Guyana for use in motor vehicles with spark-ignition internal combustion engines. It also specifies a method for determining adulteration of premium gasoline with regular gasoline.
