It comes with a maze of safety
codes, distance requirements, and pressure testing that can feel overwhelming.
Here are the essential safety
standards and legal must-haves to keep your site powered, compliant, and most
importantly, protected.
Statutory Licensing &
Approvals:
- PESO license mandatory under Static and Mobile Pressure Vessels (Unfired) Rules, 2016 for bulk storage.
- Prior approval of layout to be submitted to PESO detailing site plan which includes location of the tank, piping route, and nearby structures.
- The vessel must be designed and fabricated by PESO approved manufacturer regarding pressure vessel integrity.
- A No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the local Magistrate & Fire Department is often a prerequisite for the grant of the final license.
Layout & Safety Distances:
- Minimum "Clearance Distances" must be maintained between the LPG tank and factory buildings, property boundaries, or sources of ignition.
- The installation must have an all-weather motorable approach road for LPG tankers to safely load and unload.
Pipeline & Equipment
Standards:
- The installation must adhere to Oil Industry Safety Directorate (OISD) standards (OISD-144 for LPG installations).
- All electrical fittings in the installation area must be explosion-proof and certified.
- Consent to Establish (CTE) and Consent to Operate (CTO) are required, ensuring that environmental norms are met.
- Tanker and pipeline should go through hydrostatic pressure test (usually at 1.5 times the design pressure) before commissioning.
