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 standard outlines a code of safety for chemical laboratories.
1 Scope
1.1 This standard outlines a code of safety for chemical laboratories.
1.2 The standard outlines:
(a) general rules of conduct concerning safety;
(b) details for fire emergency and rescue procedures;
(c) general laboratory techniques.
1.3 This standard does not cover hazards relating to radioactive substances.
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 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 standard specifies requirements for the operation of laboratories and is applicable to all laboratories regardless of the number of personnel or the extent of the scope of testing activities.
This standard is for use by laboratories in developing their quality, administrative and technical systems that govern their operations. Any party may use this standard when confirming or recognising the competence of laboratories.
This standard specifies requirements for the operation of testing and/or calibration laboratories. It is applicable to all laboratories regardless of the number of personnel or the extent of the scope of testing activities.
