Scope:

1.1 This Standard sets forth minimum requirements for the construction and performance of spill containment devices for flammable liquid and combustible liquid aboveground storage tanks.

 

1.1.1 For the purposes of this Standard, flammable liquids and combustible liquids mean gasoline, fuel oil, kerosene and diesel fuel, including gasoline with up to 15% ethanol (E15) and diesel fuel with up to 5% biodiesel (B5), such as, but not limited to, those formulated in accordance with the following documents:

A   CAN/CGSB 3.18, Diesel Fuel for Locomotive – Type Medium – Speed Diesel Engines

B   CAN/CGSB 3.2, Heating Fuel Oil

C   CAN/CGSB 3.3, Kerosene

D   CAN/CGSB 3.511, Oxygenated Unleaded Automotive Gasoline Containing Ethanol

E   CAN/CGSB 3.517, Automotive (On-road) Diesel Fuel

F   CAN/CGSB 3.520, Automotive Low-Sulphur Diesel Fuel Containing Low Levels of Biodiesel Esters (B1-B5)

G   CAN/CGSB 3.6, Regular Sulphur Diesel Fuel

H   ANSI/ASTM D396, Standard Specification for Fuel Oils

I   ANSI/ASTM D975, Standard Specification for Diesel Fuel Oils

J   ASTM D2880, Standard Specification for Gas Turbine Fuel Oils

K   ANSI/ASTM D3699, Specification for Kerosene

L   ANSI/ASTM D4814, Standard Specification for Automotive Spark-Ignition Engine Fuel B

M   ASTM D6227, Standard Specification for Grades UL82 and UL87 Unleaded Aviation Gasoline

N   ASTM D6448, Standard Specification for Industrial Burner Fuels from Used Lubricating Oils

O   ASTM D6823, Standard Specification for Commercial Boiler Fuels With Used Lubricating Oils

 

1.2 The installation, maintenance and use of these devices are not within the scope of this Standard, and shall be in accordance with, but not limited to, any of the following documents:

A   National Fire Code of Canada;

B   CCME Environmental Code of Practice for Aboveground and Underground Storage Tank Systems Containing Petroleum and Allied Petroleum Products; and

C   Regulations of the appropriate authority having jurisdiction.
