TSBC -New Gas Directive: Propane filling plants and container refill centres
Attention all licensed gasfitters and asset owners:
There are new details on the design and installation requirements for propane filling plants (PFP) and container refill centres (CRC) in accordance with the CSA B149.2 Propane Storage and Handling Code (CSA B149.2) and replaces D-G5-051206 Rev 2 Retail Propane Refueling Stations.
Information is also included on how heavily populated or congested areas are determined using the BC Building Code for occupant load and restrictions based on CSA B149.2.
These requirements apply to new installations or changes to tank capacity or tank locations at existing facilities. Propane companies operating with a valid Safety Management Plan under the Alternative Safety Approaches Regulation must comply with the requirements of this directive unless an acceptable alternative has been specifically identified under the terms of any current plan.
For more information, please read the full text of the directive.
If you have any further questions, please reach out to GasSupport@technicalsafetybc.ca.
Thank you for your continued commitment to Safe technical systems. Everywhere
