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 Code of Practice gives recommendations for storage of tyres, inner tubes and flaps.

This publication was last reviewed and confirmed in 2025. Therefore this version remains current.

This document applies to single storey houses up to 7.62 m x 12.19 m (25 ft x 40 ft) plan, with hollow block masonry or timber framed walls, and timber framed or concrete roofs.  It provides the user with the technical information to supervise the construction of a safe and durable house, and to facilitate checks on whether a safe and durable house is being built.

This document does not include construction details for utilities (including plumbing, electrical, communications, security, and natural gas.  It also does not include construction details for solid brick masonry.

This Guyana Standard is a glossary which defines terms related to passenger car and commercial vehicle tyres. The standard is divided into six sections dealing respectively with general definitions, definitions related to structure, main components, tyre dimensions, service, injury and repair.

This standard specifies the requirements for new and used pneumatic passenger car tyres, along with their storage conditions. It does not apply to tyres for highway commercial vehicles.

This standard specifies the requirements for baby powder prepared from a blend of materials to produce the characteristics set out in Clause 4. It applies to baby powder used for newborns (birth to 1 month), infants (1 month to 1 year), and young children (1 year through 6 years). It does not apply to aerosols.

This standard specifies physical dimensions, performance and marking requirements for pneumatic tyres for highway commercial vehicles. Test methods for determining conformity to the performance requirements are also included. 

This standard specifies physical dimensions, performance and marking requirements for new, used and retreaded pneumatic tyres for highway commercial vehicles.

This standard also includes test methods for determining conformity to the performance requirements stated.

This specification covers hollow and solid (see 5.3 and 5.4) concrete masonry units made from hydraulic cement, water, and mineral aggregates with or without the inclusion of other materials. There are three classes of concrete masonry units: Normal Weight, Medium Weight, and Lightweight. These units are suitable for both load bearing and non-load bearing applications. This standard covers hollow blocks from sizes of 3in. (76.2mm) to 8 in. (203.2mm).

Concrete masonry units covered by this specification are made from lightweight or normal weight aggregates, or both.

This document specifies the requirements for the audit and certification of a food safety management system (FSMS) complying with the requirements given in ISO 22000 (or other specified FSMS requirements). It also provides the necessary information and confidence to customers about the way certification of their suppliers has been granted.

Certification of FSMS is a third-party conformity assessment activity (as described in ISO/IEC 17000:2020, 4.3), and bodies performing this activity are third-party conformity assessment bodies.

NOTE 1 In this document, the terms “product” and “service” are used separately (in contrast with the definition of “product” given in ISO/IEC 17000).

NOTE 2 This document can be used as a criteria document for the accreditation or peer assessment of certification bodies which seek to be recognized as being competent to certify that an

FSMS complies with ISO 22000 or other sets of specified FSMS requirements. It is also intended to be used as a criteria document by regulatory authorities and industry consortia which engage in direct recognition of certification bodies to certify that an FSMS complies with ISO 22000. Some of its requirements can also be useful to other parties involved in the conformity assessment of such certification bodies, and in the conformity assessment of bodies that undertake to certify the compliance of FSMS with criteria additional to, or other than, those in ISO 22000. FSMS certification does not attest to the safety or fitness of the products of an organization within the food chain. However, an FSMS requires an organization to meet all applicable food-safety-related statutory and regulatory requirements through its management system.

NOTE 3 Certification of an FSMS according to ISO 22000 is a management system certification, not a product certification. Other FSMS users can use the concepts and requirements of this document provided that the requirements are adapted as necessary.
