Intent

Intent 1:

To supersede the requirements of Sentence 2.12.1.7.(1) and permit the display of fuelled equipment if certain measures are taken.

This is to limit the probability that:

  • connected batteries will be a source of ignition, which could lead to the ignition of the flammable liquids, combustible liquids or Class 2.1 flammable gases, which could lead to a fire or explosion, and
  • tampering with fuel tanks will occur [e.g. ignition source such as a lighted match or lighted cigarette will be thrown into the fuel tank], which could lead to the ignition of the flammable liquids, combustible liquids or Class 2.1 flammable gases, which could lead to a fire or explosion.

This is to limit the probability of:

  • harm to persons, and
  • impairment of means of egress, which could lead to delays in evacuation or movement to a safe place, which could lead to harm to persons.
