Description / Abstract:
These requirements cover portable metal containers that have a
nominal capacity of 6 gallons (23 L) or less and that are intended
for the temporary outdoor storage and handling of petroleum based
flammable and combustible liquids, such as gasoline, naphtha, and
kerosene. Such containers are intended for handling and
transporting these liquids between a source supply and the point of
use.
A product that contains features, characteristics, components,
materials, or systems new or different from those covered by the
requirements in this standard, and that involves a risk of fire,
electric shock, or injury to persons shall be evaluated using the
appropriate additional component and end-product requirements as
determined necessary to maintain the acceptable level of safety as
originally anticipated by the intent of this standard. A product
whose features, characteristics, components, materials, or systems
conflict with specific requirements or provisions of this standard
cannot be judged to comply with this standard. Where considered
appropriate, revision of requirements shall be proposed and adopted
in conformance with the methods employed for development, revision,
and implementation of this standard.
