Preface<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This is the first edition of CSA B401.2, Propane vehicle maintenance facilities code<\/em>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

CSA Group acknowledges that the development of this Code was made possible, in part, by the financial support of Natural Resources Canada.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This Code has been developed in compliance with Standards Council of Canada requirements for National Standards of Canada. It has been published as a National Standard of Canada by CSA Group.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Scope<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1.1 Inclusions<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This Code applies to the portions of a motor vehicle maintenance facility where propane-fuelled vehicles are maintained, repaired, or stored during maintenance or repair, including ancillary areas and systems. This applies to where the fuel system is for motive power of the vehicle.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1.2 Exclusions<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This Code does not apply to<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

a) motor vehicle repair procedures;<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

b) parking facilities;<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

c) other fuels used for vehicles; or<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

d) propane when used for other purposes such as cooking, space, or water heating.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Note: The requirements for the storage, handling, and transferring of propane can be found in CSA B149.2.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1.3 Purpose<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The purpose of this Code is to provide reasonable means to manage the risks associated with the maintenance and repair of vehicles fuelled with propane inside motor vehicle maintenance facilities.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1.4 Terminology<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1.4.1 Fuelling and refueling<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The terms fuelling and refuelling are used interchangeably in this Code.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1.4.2 Propane and hydrocarbons<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Where the term propane is used, the requirements of this Code include, and apply equally to, any material that is composed predominantly of any of the following hydrocarbons or a mixture of them: propane, propylene, butane (normal butane or isobutane), and butylenes.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1.5 Units of record<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The values given in SI units are the units of record for the purposes of this Code. The values given in parentheses are for information and comparison only.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Notes:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1) CSA B149.5 can be used as a guide when converting Imperial units to metric units.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

2) Less than 1 m will be shown in mm.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

3) 1 m or more will be shown in m to the nearest 0.1 m.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

4) Pressures will be rounded to the nearest whole value using traditional rounding conventions.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

5) Where the word gallon is used in this Code, it indicates a U.S. gallon equivalent to 3.785 L water capacity.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1.6 Gauge pressure<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

All references to pressure throughout this Code are to be considered gauge pressures, unless otherwise specified.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1.7 Mandatory language<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In this Code, shall is used to express a requirement, i.e., a provision that the user is obliged to satisfy in order to comply with the Code; should is used to express a recommendation or that which is advised but not required; and may is used to express an option or that which is permissible within the limits of the Code.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Notes accompanying clauses do not include requirements or alternative requirements; the purpose of a note accompanying a clause is to separate from the text explanatory or informative material.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Notes to tables and figures are considered part of the table or figure and may be written as requirements.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Annexes are designated normative (mandatory) or informative (non-mandatory) to define their application.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
