Tanks for transport of dangerous goods - Guidance and recommendations for loading, transport and unloading

Scope

This Technical Report provides guidance and recommendations to enable the transfer of product and vapour between the loading gantry, the tank truck and the service station.
The European Parliament and Council Directive 94/63/EC (VOC Directive) requires operators to ensure that petroleum vapours are not emitted into the atmosphere during loading and unloading. The recommendations and guidance given in this document are intended to assist users in meeting the requirements of this Directive.
This Technical Report acknowledges that, for climatic and logistical reasons alternative technical solutions are commonly used in the Arctic Region.
This Technical Report gives guidance and recommendations for loading at terminals and discharge at service stations or customer premises of tank trucks transporting dangerous goods (liquid petroleum fuels) which have a vapour pressure not exceeding 110 kPa, at 50 °C (including petrol), and which have no sub-classification as toxic or corrosive.
