TS 12663

TS 12663 is a service standard dealing with the general rules for fuel stations and fuel station/service facilities, with an emphasis on where they are established and how their surrounding arrangement is organized. It addresses facilities built along urban roads or highways, both inside and outside municipal and contiguous district boundaries, and sets a common framework for the basic layout and operating order of these sites.

How the station types are distinguished

In general technical terms, a fuel station is a facility where fuel storage, dispensing, and customer service functions are brought together. A “fuel station” focuses on fuel delivery itself, while a “fuel station/service station” adds the possibility of auxiliary vehicle services. That distinction matters because traffic flow, access, customer movement, and supporting service areas are all shaped differently depending on the station type.

What this standard covers in practice

The stated scope covers fuel stations and fuel station/service stations located near local roads and highways, within and outside municipal limits. The referenced standards and national legal references indicate that such facilities are typically assessed through multiple technical lenses, including fire safety, electrical installation, structural arrangement, infrastructure, and service conditions. Even so, this listing should be understood as defining the general rule set for these facilities rather than spelling out every detailed technical threshold.

• Roadside and highway-adjacent locations
• Facilities inside and outside municipal boundaries
• Fuel stations
• Fuel station/service stations
• General rules and shared arrangement principles
