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 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 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).

This standard specifies materials, construction, performance and testing requirements for low pressure single or two stage regulators for use with liquefied petroleum gas mixtures in vapour phase up to 4.903kN/m2 [50gf/cm2 or 500mm water column (WC)] outlet pressure.

1.1 This Guyana standard covers seven grades of diesel fuel oils suitable for various types of diesel engines. These grades are described as follows: 1.1.1 Grade No. 1-D S15—A special-purpose, light middle distillate fuel for use in diesel engine applications requiring a fuel with 15 ppm sulfur (maximum) and higher volatility than that provided by Grade No. 2-D S15 fuel. 1.1.2 Grade No. 1-D S500—A special-purpose, light middle distillate fuel for use in diesel engine applications requiring a fuel with 500 ppm sulphur (maximum) and higher volatility than that provided by Grade No. 2-D S500 fuel.2 1.1.3 Grade No. 1-D S5000—A special-purpose, light middle distillate fuel for use in diesel engine applications requiring a fuel with 5000 ppm sulphur (maximum) and higher volatility than that provided by Grade No. 2-D S5000 fuels. 1.1.4 Grade No. 2-D S15—A general purpose, middle distillate fuel for use in diesel engine applications requiring a fuel with 15 ppm sulphur (maximum). It is especially suitable for use in applications with conditions of varying speed and load. 1.1.5 Grade No. 2-D S500—A general-purpose, middle distillate fuel for use in diesel engine applications requiring a fuel with 500 ppm sulphur (maximum). It is especially suitable for use in applications with conditions of varying speed and load. 1.1.6 Grade No. 2-D S5000—A general-purpose, middle distillate fuel for use in diesel engine applications requiring a fuel with 5000 ppm sulphur (maximum), especially in conditions of varying speed and load. 1.1.7 Grade No. 4-D—A heavy distillate fuel, or a blend of distillate and residual oil, for use in low- and medium-speed diesel engines in applications involving predominantly constant speed and load.
