TS 6058

TS 6058 is a service standard that addresses the general rules for establishing fuel service stations and fuel sales and service stations. Its focus is the structural and functional organisation of these facilities when they are located on urban roads, along highways, and within or outside municipal boundaries.

Types of facilities and their siting context

In this context, a fuel sales station refers to a facility primarily dedicated to fuel dispensing, while a fuel sales and service station extends that function by adding vehicle service activities. This distinction matters because the layout must accommodate vehicle entry and exit, circulation, fuelling bays, and the separation of service areas from fuel-handling zones. In general technical terms, such sites are designed around safe traffic flow, user access, operational continuity, and site organisation.

What establishment rules mean in practice

Establishment rules are framework requirements that concern not only whether a station exists, but whether its location and basic arrangement are suitable for service. For fuel stations, site selection, road access, vehicle manoeuvring space, separation of fuelling and sales functions, customer flow, and overall site planning are all important to service continuity and operating efficiency. Based on the provided scope, this standard identifies where such stations may be established; the full detailed requirements of the standard cannot be inferred from the available text alone.

TS 6058 is a 1988 standard that has since been withdrawn, so it is mainly of historical interest for understanding the planning approach used for fuel station establishment at the time. In present-day practice, related matters are often considered together with up-to-date planning, traffic, environmental, and occupational safety rules.
