fuels. Fuels, as defined by these requirements, include one or more of the fuels described in 1.3.
1.2 Power-Operated Dispensing Devices for Diesel Fuel, Biodiesel Fuel, Diesel/Biodiesel Blends with
Nominal Biodiesel Concentrations up to 20 Percent (B20), Kerosene, and Fuel Oil shall be constructed to
comply with the following:
a) In the United States:
1) The requirements defined in the Standard for Power-Operated Dispensing Devices for
Petroleum Products, UL 87, and
2) The requirements in this Standard.
b) In Canada:
1) The requirements defined in the Standard for Power-Operated Dispensing Devices for
Flammable Liquids, CSA B346;
2) Electrical equipment for flammable and combustible fuel dispensers, CSA C22.2 No. 22,
and
3) The requirements in this Standard.
1.3 Dispensing devices covered by these requirements are intended for use with one or more of the
following:
a) Diesel fuel, which includes renewable diesel and diesel fuel/biodiesel blends with nominal
biodiesel concentrations up to and including 5 % (B0 – B5) formulated in accordance with the
Standard Specification for Diesel Fuel Oils, ASTM D975.
b) Diesel/biodiesel, renewable diesel/biodiesel blends, with nominal biodiesel concentrations from
5 % up to 20 % (B6 – B20) formulated in accordance with the Standard Specification for Diesel
Fuel Oil, Biodiesel Blends (B6 – B20), ASTM D7467.
c) Biodiesel (B99.9/B100) formulated in accordance with the Standard Specification for Biodiesel
Fuel Blend Stock (B100) for Middle Distillate Fuels, ASTM D6751.
d) Kerosene formulated in accordance with the Standard Specification for Kerosine, ASTM D3699.
e) Fuel Oil (heating oil) formulated in accordance with the Standard Specification for Fuel Oils,
ASTM D396.
1.4 Products covered by this Standard are intended to be installed and used in accordance with the
applicable Codes and Regulations as determined by the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ), such as, but
not limited to:
a) In the United States:
1) Flammable and Combustible Liquids Code, NFPA 30;
2) Code for Motor Fuel Dispensing Facilities and Repair Garages, NFPA 30A;
3) National Electrical Code, NFPA 70.
b) In Canada:
1) The Canadian Electrical Code, Part I Safety Standard for Electrical Installations, CSA
C22.1;
2) The National Fire Code of Canada;
3) Provincial or other Regulations.
1.5 These requirements apply to wiring methods used to install or interconnect such control equipment
when the equipment is located directly on or within the housing of the dispensing device.
1.6 These requirements do not apply to control equipment that may authorize, monitor, or interrupt
operation of a power-operated dispensing device, nor other auxiliary equipment. These products would be
covered under the Standard for Control Equipment for Use with Flammable Liquid Dispensing Devices, UL
1238.
1.7 These requirements do not cover dispensing devices for use with gasoline or gasoline/ethanol
blends of any concentration. These dispensing devices are covered under the Standard for Power-
Operated Dispensing Devices for Gasoline and Gasoline/Ethanol Blends with Nominal Ethanol
Concentrations up to 85 Percent (E0 – E85), UL 87A.
1.8 These requirements do not cover dispensing devices for use with LP-Gas, which are covered under
the Standard for Power-Operated LP-Gas Dispensing Equipment, UL 495.
1.9 These requirements do not cover equipment intended for diesel/biodiesel blends with a biodiesel
concentration between B20 and B99.9/B100.
