All Rights Reserved. NFPA 30A Code for Motor Fuel Dispensing Facilities and Repair Garages 2018 Edition This edition
32、of NFPA 30A, Code for Motor Fuel Dispensing Facilities and Repair Garages, was prepared by the Technical Committee on Automotive and Marine Service Stations. It was issued by the Standards Council on August 1, 2017, with an effective date of August 21, 2017, and supersedes all previous editions. Thi
33、s document has been amended by one or more Tentative Interim Amendments (TIAs) and/or Errata. See “Codes & Standards” at www.nfpa.org for more information. This edition of NFPA 30A was approved as an American National Standard on August 21, 2017. Origin and Development of NFPA 30A This code originat
34、ed as Chapter 7 of NFPA 30, Flammable and Combustible Liquids Code, and was developed by the Technical Committee on Flammable and Combustible Liquids to provide more detailed requirements for vehicle fueling and to anticipate the need to address self-service fueling and alternative fuels. It was rst
35、 adopted in 1984. The second edition, adopted in 1987, recognized unattended self-service fueling, and a third edition, adopted in 1990 and prepared by the (new) Technical Committee on Automotive and Marine Service Stations, incorporated requirements for lubrication-only service facilities. The four
36、th edition, adopted in 1993, incorporated several major amendments, the most important of which allowed aboveground fuel storage tanks at retail motor fuel dispensing facilities, based on a Tentative Interim Amendment to the 1990 edition. The 1996 (fth) edition of NFPA 30A incorporated the following
37、 major amendments: (1) An increase in the maximum allowable aboveground fuel storage for Class II liquids (i.e., diesel fuel) at eet refueling operations to 75,700 L (20,000 gal) per tank, with a maximum aggregate capacity of 302,800 L (80,000 gal) (2) A new chapter that provided comprehensive re sa
38、fety requirements for marine motor fuel dispensing facilities, including fuel dispensing practices (3) More specic requirements for installation and function of the emergency shear valve at the base of the fuel dispenser (4) A new section on low-melting-point piping materials After the adoption of t
39、he 1996 edition of NFPA 30A, the Technical Committee on Automotive and Marine Service Stations was given responsibility for NFPA 88B, Standard for Repair Garages, and was also charged with developing re safety requirements for alternative fuels, such as compressed natural gas (CNG), when these fuels
40、 are dispensed along with liquid fuels. With respect to repair garages, the Technical Committee decided to integrate the technical requirements of NFPA 88B into NFPA 30A.MOTOR FUEL DISPENSING FACILITIES AND REPAIR GARAGES 30A-2 2018 Edition The 2000 (sixth) edition of NFPA 30A incorporated the follo
41、wing major amendments: (1) A change in the title of the document to Code for Motor Fuel Dispensing Facilities and Repair Garages to more accurately reect its scope (2) A complete editorial review to enhance readability and to replace ambiguous text (3) Revisions to the minimum separation distances f
42、or aboveground storage tanks, including minimum separation distances for protected aboveground tanks and tanks in vaults (4) Addition of basic requirements for protected aboveground tanks (5) Corrosion protection requirements for tanks and piping (6) New and more detailed requirements for installati
43、on and testing of piping systems, including secondary containment piping (7) Revisions to the requirements for emergency power disconnects for fuel dispensing systems (8) Incorporation of requirements for repair garages from NFPA 88B (9) Addition of a new chapter that set requirements for compressed
44、 natural gas (CNG), liqueed natural gas (LNG), and liqueed petroleum gas (LP-Gas) The 2003 (seventh) edition of NFPA 30A contained one major revision and several less signicant changes. The major revision was the addition of a new chapter, Chapter 13, Farms and Remote Sites, which incorporated the r
45、equirements of NFPA 395, Standard for the Storage of Flammable and Combustible Liquids at Farms and Isolated Sites, which had been withdrawn in 2002. Other changes included a revision of the denition of re-resistant tanks in Chapter 3, a change in scope to reect the incorporation of requirements fro
46、m NFPA 395, and the addition of material from TIA No. 733 containing requirements and annex material warning people of electrostatic and other hazards that occur during dispensing operations. The 2008 (eighth) edition of NFPA 30A contained minor revisions. All technical specications for tanks were r
47、emoved and replaced by references to NFPA 30, Flammable and Combustible Liquids Code. References to NFPA 52, Vehicular Gaseous Fuel Systems Code, were inserted into Chapter 12 to address storage and dispensing of hydrogen at facilities that dispense gaseous liquid fuels. The 2012 (ninth) edition of
48、NFPA 30A incorporated the following major amendments: (1) Denitions for combustible liquid and ammable liquid have been revised to correlate with NFPA 30, Flammable and Combustible Liquids Code, and relocated to their proper location in Chapter 3. (2) Erroneous cross-references to specic paragraphs
49、in NFPA 30, Flammable and Combustible Liquids Code, were corrected. (3) New Subsection 6.3.6, Inspections, was added to address inspection, maintenance, and repairs of fuel dispensing equipment, leak detection equipment, and secondary containment equipment. (4) New Paragraph 6.6.1.1 was added to require that any modication of the dispensing nozzle be either listed or approved by the manufacturer of the nozzle. (5) Subsection 6.6.1 was corrected to require that dispensing nozzles have a latch-open device. (6) New Paragraph 7.4.7.4 was added to require th
