• Keeps safety distances as defined by governmental regulations.
• It is not close to or intercepts exiting doors.
• Has a solid and flat concrete ground base and is positioned away from dangerous areas.
• It is not adjacent to underground storage or ventilation units, uncovered wells or underground drainage.
• The area between the building and the storage location of the tank is made from non-combustible materials.
• The storage location is protected with a non-flammable fence (with a lock), of at least two meters and keeps visible, legible and durable signage.
• There is adequate ventilation from at least two sides horizontally to the outdoors.
• Has independent earthing system.

Additionally, to take care of your storage tank you should:

• Keep rubbish, ragweed, grass, wooden fences and any combustible materials away from the tank (keep a three-metre radius from the LPG tank clean).
• Keep vehicles, electrical equipment, smoking and any other sources of ignition well away from the installation.
• Don’t do any alterations within a specified (by law) perimeter of the tank which may affect the safety of the installation. Contact Intergaz for advice.
• Let only Intergaz or anyone authorised by Intergaz have access onto the installation.
• Tank must be tested at least 10 years after manufacturing date and thereafter every 5 years.
