Preamble

Customer-base LPG storage is not required to be protected by a chain-link fence if:

the confines of the property are entirely protected by a fence at least 2 meters high nobody can access the tank, with the exception of LPG storage area staff.

the distance requirement is complied with in terms of vehicle access, except for the refuelling truck.

Small bulk” tanks, the components of which are under locked cover, do not require the protection of a chain-link fence.

If however “small bulk” tanks are installed in an ERP, an educational institution or a residential subdivision, they must be protected by a chain-link fence to prevent access to the storage area.

If one of these conditions can not be complied with, the LPG storage area must be protected by a chain-link fence.
