1.1 This Standard covers the minimum requirements for nonmetallic or composite primary tanks, secondary tanks, and open or closed secondary containments from 227 to 2500 L (60 to 660 US gal) primary tank capacity intended primarily for the storage and supply of heating fuel for oil burning equipment, or alternately for the storage of diesel fuels for compression ignition engines and motor oils (new and used) for automotive service stations, in aboveground applications.<\/p>\n
In addition to this Standard's traditional safety requirements that primarily evaluate structural integrity, material compatibility, and mitigate fire and 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 C. <\/p>\n
1.2 Each tank type is permitted to be fabricated in a combination of various shapes (cylindrical, rectangular or obround), orientations (horizontal, vertical) and may have integral options (tank supports or accessories) as covered in this Standard.<\/p>\n
1.3 These shop built tanks are completely fabricated, inspected, and tested for leakage before shipment from the factory as completely assembled vessels except for options intended for field assembly in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.<\/p>\n
1.4 These tanks are intended for stationary installation and use in accordance with, but not limited to, any of the following documents as appropriate for each country below. These tanks are not intended for the transportation of fuel, nor are they intended to be transported while containing liquids.<\/p>\n

1.7 These requirements do not cover storage of waste oils or other combustible liquids with different fire, physical or material compatibility properties with respect to the intended liquids in Clause 1.1 but do cover 100 % biodiesel and biodiesel blends up to 100 %. These requirements do not cover storage of flammable liquids.<\/p>\n
1.8 Except for optional Climate Change Adaptation requirements in Appendix C, these requirements do not cover special evaluations for resistance to, or use after, earthquakes, floods, high wind events, or other natural disasters. These requirements do not cover resistance to vehicle impact.<\/p>\n
