a) provide sufficient strength of ground and be impervious;
b) be equipped with the necessary gradients and possibly also with upright edges, to ensure
that all spilt liquids drain to a collection system; the elimination of collected liquids is effected
in accordance with regulatory provisions, in particular those relating to the disposal
of waste materials;
for P1 and/or P2 products this filling position and these zones must always be located in the
open air or under a shelter;
no trenches, crawl spaces or rooms may be present under the aforementioned filling position
and zones; in the case of weighbridges, effective arrangements must be made to limit the
spreading of leaks and to preclude any danger of explosion;
the provisions of this paragraph are not applicable to storage sites for products only intended
for the heating of buildings.
7. during filling with P1 or P2 products, measures must be taken to divert static electricity; the
electrical connection between the road tanker and the container must be made before the filling
operation is commenced and may only be broken after the filling hose has been uncoupled
when the filling is completed;
8. adequate measures must be taken to maintain the storage at atmospheric pressure;
the underground ventilation and vapour recovery piping must fulfil the same requirements as
the rest of the piping; in addition, the aboveground ventilation piping must have sufficient

Art. 5.17.1.18
The overfilling protection described in appendix 5.17.7 must be manufactured in accordance
with a code of good practice accepted by an environmental expert accredited in the discipline
containers for gases or hazardous substances.
The control of the construction must be performed in accordance with the selected code of good
practice by an environmental expert accredited in the discipline containers for gases or hazardous
substances.
The control of the construction for overfilling protection devices manufactured in series may be
limited to a single approval of the prototype. The approval of the prototype must be performed
by one of the aforementioned environmental experts and in accordance with the procedure of
appendix 5.17.7.
The report on the approval mentions the controls carried out and must be signed by the aforementioned
expert.
For each overfilling protection device the operator must dispose of a certificate signed by the
constructor. This certificate must mention the number of the prototype approval certificate and
the name of the environmental expert who issued the test certificate (and his accreditation number).
The constructor also confirms in the certificate that the overfilling protection has been
built and controlled in accordance with the provisions of title II of VLAREM.
