Environmental Risk Management Authority

Hazardous Substances and New Organisms Act 1996

Notice of Approval of Code of Practice

Pursuant to section 79(5) of the Hazardous Substances and New Organisms Act 1996, the Environmental Risk Management Authority New Zealand (“ERMA New Zealand”) advises that it approved in May 2011, the code of practice HSNOCOP 38 Version 1.0 In-situ Filling of LPG Cylinders.

Regulation 62(4)(c) of the Hazardous Substances (Compressed Gases) Regulations 2004 enables ERMA New Zealand to approve a code of practice whereby cylinders can be filled without requiring the cylinder to be weighed.

This code is intended to provide a means by which filling of cylinders by volume can be undertaken in-situ from a road tank wagon utilising an ullage or contents gauge.

This code can be inspected at the Wellington office of ERMA New Zealand, Level 1, BP House, 20 Customhouse Quay, Wellington, or can be downloaded from the website of the LPG Association of New Zealand Inc
