1.1 This Standard covers the design and construction of aboveground steel non-pressure tanks intended

for installation inside or outside buildings and for the storage of:

A Combustible liquid intended to be used as heating fuel and/or generator fuel; and

B Lubricating oil.

NOTE 1: These tanks may also be used for the storage of used oil as a heating and/or generator fuel. For tanks

intended for the collection of used oil, refer to CAN/ULC-S652,Standard for Tank Assemblies for the Collection,

Storage and Removal of Used Oil, .

NOTE 2: For generator-base tanks and workbench tanks, refer to CAN/ULC-S601, Standard for Shop-Fabricated

Steel Aboveground Tanks for Flammable and Combustible Liquids.

1.2 This Standard covers single wall tanks, tanks with secondary containment (of double wall and open

or closed secondary containment) and double bottom tanks.

1.3 This Standard covers tanks having a maximum capacity of 2500 L.

1.4 This Standard covers tanks fabricated, inspected and tested for leakage before shipment from the

factory.

1.5 This Standard covers the design and construction of tanks for use in stationary installations. These

tanks are not designed for the transportation of fuel.
