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 standard applies to the labelling of individual packages and cartons of tobacco products intended for retail sale in the Caribbean Community. This standard specifies the information, the method of display of such information, the wording and presentation of health warnings to be included on the labels of retail packages of tobacco products intended to be sold in the Caribbean Community. This standard does not apply to the labelling of cases of such individual packages or cartons, irrespective of sizes, provided the cases are not displayed or used at the point of sale.

This standard specifies the information, the method of display of such information, the wording and presentation of health warnings to be included on the labels of retail packages of tobacco products intended to be sold in Guyana. 1.2 This standard applies to the labelling of individual packages and cartons of tobacco products intended for retail sale in Guyana. 1.3 This standard does not apply to the labelling of cases of such individual packages or cartons, irrespective of sizes, provided the cases are not displayed or used at the point of sale. 1.4 All manufacturers, importers, distributors, retailers and other entities engaged in the production and/or trade of tobacco products within Guyana shall comply with all the requirements of this standard

This standard prescribes the wording of a warning notice and its presentation to the consumers in advertisements for cigarettes on television, radio, press, posters and other media of communication. It also covers the requirements for the advertising of other tobacco products. Certain types of promotional materials and advertisements are excluded (See 3.7).

This document specifies the general requirements and tests for safety devices for fuel gases and oxygen or compressed air which do not incorporate a flame (flashback) arrestor used downstream of manifold, cylinder and/or pipeline outlet regulators, and upstream of blowpipes for welding, cutting and allied processes. This document does not specify the location of these devices in the gas system. This document is not applicable to safety devices which incorporate a flame arrestor, covered by ISO 5175-1.

This document specifies a method for the magnetic particle testing of ferro-magnetic steel and iron castings. It also gives acceptance criteria through severity levels defined by the nature, the area and the dimensions of the discontinuities present. This document is applicable to all ferro-magnetic castings, independent of the moulding method. A steel and iron casting is considered to be ferro-magnetic if the magnetic induction is greater than 1 T

(Tesla) for a magnetic field strength of 2,4 kA/m. This document only applies to those areas of the castings specified for testing, as well as the percentage

of castings to be tested

This document specifies a method for the liquid penetrant testing of steel and iron castings.

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 labelling of individual packages and cartons of tobacco products intended for retail sale in the Caribbean Community.
