TS 11939/T1

TS 11939/T1 is a withdrawn amendment-style standard record dealing with safety rules for automotive LPG refuelling stations. The subject matters because LPG is a pressurised, highly flammable fuel, so storage, transfer and vehicle refuelling need careful control to reduce operational risk.

The standard’s scope is focused on the establishment requirements and safety rules for stations supplying liquefied petroleum gas to motor vehicles. In practical terms, that means the document concerns not only fuel dispensing, but also the technical and organisational conditions that support safe station layout, equipment use and refuelling operations. The note in the scope indicates that the term “LPG” is used throughout the text.

What safety means in an LPG refuelling context

In general technical terms, safety at LPG refuelling stations is associated with controlling leaks, limiting ignition sources, ensuring suitable ventilation, selecting equipment designed for pressurised service and managing operator actions. For automotive fuelling sites, the core objective is to reduce fire, explosion and operational hazards that could affect both users and the facility surroundings.

What this document covers

• It relates to LPG refuelling stations for motor vehicles.
• It covers station establishment requirements and safety rules.
• It addresses safe operation in an automotive fuelling environment.
• The text uses the abbreviation LPG throughout the standard.

This record is withdrawn, but its title and scope still clearly identify the technical area: the safe design and operation of road-vehicle LPG refuelling stations within the wider LPG safety domain.
