Annexes
Art. 5.17.1.16
§ 1. The drawing off of P1 and/or P2 products into mobile receptacles must be performed either
in the open air or in a well-ventilated space constructed with non-flammable materials. The necessary
measures must be taken to prevent dangerous electrostatic charges from being generated
during the drawing off. This place or space must be provided with signs according to the General
Regulations for Labour Safety indicating a fire hazard.
§ 2. The floor of the space referred to in § 1 must be impervious and made of non-flammable
materials. It must be constructed in such a way that accidentally spilt substances and leaked
liquids are drained into a collection device and subsequently are taken to one or more collection
wells by means of collection channels. This collecting device may in no way be connected indirectly
or directly to a public sewer, a surface water, a collecting basin for surface water, a ditch
or a groundwater layer.
§ 3. If P1 and/or P2 products are stored in aboveground containers, the filling of the mobile receptacles
must be performed in a suitable filling area located at least 10 metres from the containers
or completely outside the bund.
§ 4. P1 and/or P2 products must be handled in such a way that spillage of the liquids on the
floor is avoided.
§ 5. P1 and/or P2 products must be stored in closed receptacles offering all guarantees of sealing.
In addition, the sealing must be checked immediately after the filling. Receptacles found to
be defective in this respect must immediately be emptied and removed from the space where
the filling takes place.
§ 6. The maximum quantities of P1 and/or P2 products (number of mobile receptacles, etc.) that
may be present in the spaces where the filling of the mobile receptacles takes place, may be
restricted in the environmental licence.
Art. 5.17.1.17
With respect to the filling of fixed containers and road tankers the following regulations apply:
1. the necessary measures must be taken to prevent spillages of liquids and pollution of the
ground, groundwater and surface water
2. the flexible hose used for the filling must be connected to the opening of the container or the
conduit by means of a device with screw coupling or an equivalent system
3. each filling operation must be performed under the supervision of the operator or his appointee;
said supervision must be organised in such a way that the filling operation can be
monitored and that immediate action can be taken in the event of an incident
4. to prevent overfilling all fixed containers must be equipped with an overfilling protection,
which may be:
a) either a warning system, giving an acoustic signal which the supplier must always be able
to hear in the filling area and which informs the supplier that the container to be filled is
95 % full; this system may be mechanical or electronic
b) or a safety system, which automatically shuts off product flow as soon as the container to
be filled is at most 98% full; this system may be mechanical or electronic
c) at storage facilities forming part of a fuel distribution installation for motor vehicles, a
safety system of the type indicated in b) must be used
5. all containers must be equipped with the possibility to measure the level
6. the filling position for the road tanker, the zones where the nozzles of the filling pipes are
grouped and the filling zones at the distribution installation must always be located on the
premises of the establishment and must:
