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 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 standard prescribes requirements and the methods of sampling and test for compressed oxygen gas for industrial use. This standard does not cover aviation oxygen and oxygen for medical or inhalation purposes

This standard specifies the requirements for labelling, storage and the methods of sampling and testing for compressed oxygen gas for industrial and medical use. The standard does not cover aviation/aircraft oxygen.

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 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 applies to the storage and handling of portable containers used for storage of Liquefied Petroleum Gases (LPG) at locations other than at a LPG filling plant, and to the vehicular transportation of these containers.

: 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).
