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 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 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.
This International Standard describes the fundamentals of product certification and provides guidelines for understanding, developing, operating or maintaining certification schemes for products, processes and services. It is intended for use by all with an interest in product certification, and especially by certification scheme owners.
NOTE 1 In this International Standard the term “product” can also be read as “process” or “service”, except in those instances where separate provisions are stated for “processes” or “services”. Definitions of product, process and service are given in ISO/IEC 17065.
NOTE 2 The certification of products, processes and services is a third-party conformity assessment activity (see ISO/IEC 17000) carried out by product ertification bodies. The requirements for product certification bodies are specified in ISO/IEC 17065.
This CARICOM Regional Standard provides requirements for implementation and maintenance of a food safety and sanitation programme for tourism establishments.
While these requirements may be applicable to other establishments where food is prepared and served, for the purposes of this document the standard applies to all food premises which are part of the tourism establishment.
This standard applies to structures, and food transport vehicles and associated equipment, fixtures and fittings used by the food business in the tourism establishment.
This standard does not apply to organisations such as government ministries, regulatory departments and agencies, associations and statutory bodies that do not provide a tourism related service.
This CARICOM Regional Standard specifies requirements for a water treatment management and efficiency programme for tourism establishments including:
a) the definition of terms common to water service providers;
b) basic requirements for drinking water supply and treatment systems;
c) guidelines for objectives, service assessment criteria and related performance indicators;
d) benchmarks for measuring performance of water management, treatment and efficiency.
This standard does not apply to:
a) organisations such as government ministries, regulatory departments and agencies, associations and statutory bodies that do not provide a tourism related service; and
b) objectives set forth by the national water authority and other relevant agencies which are to be achieved through implementation of national standards and compliance obligations.
This CARICOM Regional Standard provides requirements for the implementation and maintenance of a solid waste management programme for tourism establishments.
This standard does not apply to:
a) organisations such as government
ministries, regulatory departments and agencies, associations and statutory
bodies that do not provide a tourism related service; and
b) solid solutions, solids in
solutions and non-solid waste.
EXAMPLE Solid solutions include construction steel, brass and amalgam waste which may arise from construction, plumbing, dentistry and other activities.
This standard does not apply to organisations such as government ministries, regulatory departments and agencies, associations and statutory bodies that do not provide a tourism related service.
This standard specifies requirements for an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) system developed and implemented within a tourism establishment.
This regional standard is applicable to IPM programmes throughout tourism establishments.
This standard does not apply to organisations such as government ministries, regulatory departments and agencies, associations, and statutory bodies, that do not provide a tourism related service.
