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.

Adopted CRCP 1: 2010. This Code of Practice recommends appropriate general techniques for collecting, processing, packaging, storing, transporting, distributing and offering for sale, all bottled or packaged drinking water for direct consumption.

This standard describes exhaust emission requirements for all new domestic and commercial vehicles which have been registered in Guyana for the first time after December 31, 1997. This standard also describes exhaust emission requirements, measurement methods and measurement equipment for all vehicles, which are imported into Guyana after December 31, 1997. All imported vehicles would be required to conform to exhaust emission limits specified in the standard. Accordingly, the exhaust emission limits must be fully documented and certified by the suppliers/manufacturers, from the country of origin.

 This standard establishes the basic principles for carrying out vibration measurement and processing data, with regard to evaluating vibration effects on buildings. The evaluations of the effects of building vibration are primarily directed at structural response, and include appropriate analytical methods where the frequency, duration and amplitude can be defined. It only deals with the measurement of structural vibration and excludes the measurement of   airborne sound pressure and other pressure fluctuations. 

This standard provides general guidance on methods of carrying out penetrant inspection on materials and components both during manufacture and in service. It does not deal with acceptance or rejection. Penetrant inspection is used to locate discontinuities, such as laps, folds, cracks, porosity and fissures, which are open to the surface of a material or component. Penetrant techniques can be used on materials irrespective of their physical properties, provided that the surface is normally non-absorbent and compatible with the penetrant process. 

This standard provides general guidance on

. This standard specifies the minimum requirements for industrial illuminators used for viewing radiographs.

 This standard lays down general requirements on penetrant flaw detectors and their functional units which are designed to reveal invisible, or poorly visible to the eye, surface discontinuities in metals and non-metals of any geometry and at any stage of manufacture.

This part of GYS 120 specifies an ultrasonic testing method for determining bond defects between the bearing metal and the backing.  The test can be performed on metallic multilayer plain bearings consisting of backings lined with bearing metal based on lead and tin, with layer thickness greater than or equal to 0, 5 mm.  The test is not possible within half the diameter of the crystal from the edges of the bearing, oil holes, grooves, etc. because of undefined reflections. In bearings with dovetail keying grooves at the bond, the test may not be possible along the edges of the dovetails.   

. This part of GYS 120 specifies a non-destructive penetrant testing for determining bond defects and discontinuities in the sliding surface of the bearing. The penetration method is used to detect - bond defects in the transitional area between the bearing backing/bearing material on the end faces and joint faces of multilayer plain bearings which cannot be detected by the ultrasonic testing method specified in ISO 4386- 1; discontinuities in the sliding surface of the bearing. The penetration method is applicable, in principle, to finished multilayer plain bearings.
