TS 6992

TS 6992 is a service standard that classifies fuel stations serving vehicles and passengers on highways according to their service types and service capacities. Its focus is on comparing stations within a common framework that reflects both the kind of services offered and the scale at which they can be delivered. This makes different fuel retail sites easier to distinguish in a consistent way.

How service type and capacity are considered together

In fuel station terminology, service type refers to the operating model of the site, including not only fuelling but also other services that may be provided to road users. Service capacity describes how much service the station can deliver at one time or within a defined operating arrangement. Considering these two factors together shows not only the physical setup of the site, but also how usable and functional it is for travelling customers.

General technical context for fuel stations

From a general technical point of view, fuel stations are facilities where fuelling, payment, waiting, safe circulation and often additional support services for vehicles and users are combined. Classification helps create a consistent basis for planning, inspection and service definition. In this context, TS 6992 functions as a classification standard organised around service type and capacity.

• Covers fuel stations serving highway users.
• Uses service type as a classification criterion.
• Uses service capacity as a classification criterion.
• Is connected to broader rules for assessing fuel sales and service premises.
