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 specifies basic methods for testing the physical properties of paints and surface coatings.
The standard prescribes a maximum limit on the lead content in paints and varnishes supplied in fluid form. It applies to paints and varnishes that are used in households, on domestic furniture and appliances, in buildings and places open to the public shops, offices, factories, or for commercial purposes. This standard does not apply to paints supplied in the form of dried powder, or intended for industrial use.
This standard applies to emulsion paint for interior and exterior use on masonry surfaces including concrete, brick, stucco, concrete block and on primed wood. It is not suitable for metal derived products.
This standard applies to low sheen and semi-gloss emulsion paint for use on types of interior and exterior wall surfaces and ceilings. It is suitable for application over surfaces including wallboard, gypsum-board, cement, dry plaster, brick, concrete block wall or block walls rendered with cement-mortar, gypsum plaster or any other such material applied for providing a protective coating.
This standard prescribes requirements for ready mixed alkyd paint for interior and exterior applications. The material is used for protection and decoration of wood and metal and other surfaces suitably primed.
This standard specifies the requirements and the methods of sampling and test for lacquer.
This standard specifies methods of sampling and test for thinners and solvents for paints. It covers the methods for determination of colour, relative density, distillation range, residue on evaporation, tests for corrosive sulphur, freedom from chlorinated hydrocarbon solvents and benzene, kauri butanol value, aniline point and mixed aniline point, acid wash test, test for hydrogen sulphide and mercaptans, freedom from lead, flash point and keeping quality.
This International Standard specifies requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining and improving an energy management system, whose purpose is to enable an organization to follow a systemic approach in achieving continual improvement of energy performance, including energy efficiency, energy use and consumption.
These requirements cover products which are molded of insulating material and are molded of insulating material and are intended to cover the outlet slots of receptacles having 1-15R and 5-15R configurations in accordance with Wiring Devices - Dimensional Specifications, ANSI/NEMA WD6.
