- Scope
- 1 Scope 1.1 This Standard sets forth minimum design and construction requirements for fibre reinforced plastic,
non-pressure tanks that are used for the underground storage of flammable and combustible liquids, such
as: a) Petroleum products, including petroleum hydrocarbon fuels with low-biofuels blends, per
specifications, and similar flammable or combustible liquid petroleum derivatives, such as fuel
components (cetane, hexane, heptane), and oils (lubricating, hydraulic, machine); b) Oxygenated fuel blends, including all "petroleum product" liquids plus petroleum hydrocarbon
fuels with low-biofuels blends; c) Oxygenates, including all “petroleum product” and "oxygenated fuel blends" liquids plus pure/
denatured or highest oxygenated blend stocks for use in mixing of dispensed lower fuel-blends and
components, such as biodiesel and ethanol; and d) Other flammable and combustible liquids (for which the test fuels in Appendix A are not
considered to be sufficient or applicable) that can be demonstrated or determined to be compatible
with the reinforced plastic underground tank materials as determined by the certifier.
In addition to this Standard’s traditional safety requirements for underground fiber reinforced plastic tanks
that primarily evaluate structural integrity, material compatibility and mitigate environmental hazards from
loss of liquid containment under expected normal conditions; optional construction and/or performance
requirements, and associated ratings, intended to address more severe conditions associated with the
effects of Climate Change are included in Appendix F. NOTE: The test fuels in Appendix A are considered to be sufficient and representative for US or Canadian approved motor fuels, offroad
fuels, gasoline from renewable and petroleum feedstocks, diesel, renewable diesel, synthetic diesel, biodiesel, kerosene,
aviation fuels, jet fuels, fuel oil and heating oil as referenced in (a), (b), and (c). 1.2 This Standard covers tanks of either single, double or multiple wall construction. 1.3 Tanks covered by this Standard are fabricated, inspected, and tested for leakage prior to shipment
from the factory as completely assembled vessels. 1.4 This Standard covers tanks where the primary tank may have a single compartment or have multiple
compartments. 1.5 These tanks are intended for installation and use in accordance with applicable documents in the
following list:
a) In Canada: 1) National Fire Code of Canada;
2) CAN/CSA-B139, Installation code for oil-burning equipment;
3) CCME PN1326, Environmental Code of Practice for Aboveground and Underground
Storage Tank Systems Containing Petroleum and Allied Petroleum Products;
4) Regulations of the authority having jurisdiction; and b) In the Unites States
1) Standard for the Installation of Oil-Burning Equipment, NFPA 31;
2) Flammable and Combustible Liquids Code, NFPA 30; and
3) Code for Motor Fuel Dispensing Facilities and Repair Garages, NFPA 30A, as applicable.
1.6 Accessories, such as, ladders, tank sumps, risers, and guide lugs, that do not affect tank
performance and are attached to the tank internally or externally during manufacture are permitted but not
covered by this standard.
1.7 Except for optional Climate Change Adaptation requirements in Appendix F, these requirements do
not cover special evaluations for resistance to, or use after earthquakes, floods, high wind events, or other
natural disasters.
NOTE: See the Note at the beginning of Appendix F for further information on the terms “Adaptation” and “Mitigation”, as they pertain
to Climate Change.
