CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL
-
That they be permanently and clearly marked, on a suitably attached metal plate, with characters not less than 6 mm high if space permits but in any case not less than 3 mm high, displaying the following information:
(a) The specification to which the cylinder was manufactured.
(b) The manufacturer’s name or mark and the serial number of the cylinder.
(c) The date of the original cylinder inspection and the identification mark of the inspection authority who made the inspection.
(d) The date of any periodic cylinder test and the identification mark of the cylinder testing station who made each test.
(e) The cylinder test pressure.
(f) The nominal water capacity of the cylinder.
(g) The tare weight of the cylinder. -
That they be clearly marked or labelled to indicate that the cylinder is suitable for use with LPG.
-
That they be provided with valve threads and fittings which provide the following functions—
(a) Filling connection incorporating a non return valve.
(b) Service valve incorporating an excess flow valve.
(c) Contents gauge.
(d) Safety valve.
(e) A fixed liquid level indicator or an automatic fill shut off device which prevents the cylinder being filled beyond 85 percent of the total cylinder capacity.
Valves and fittings shall have a service pressure rating of at least that of the cylinder to which they are fitted and shall be dimensioned, threaded and marked in accordance with the requirements of section 2.3 of New Zealand Standard NZS 5422 “The use of LPG and CNG Fuels in Internal Combustion Engines—Part 1 LPG Fuel”. -
