Intent

Intent 1:

To exempt liquids with a lower flammability risk from the application of Sentence 4.6.8.6.(1), which would otherwise require the engines to be turned off, if certain measures are taken [a minimum distance is maintained].

These measures are to limit the probability that:

  • the vapour from nearby Class I liquid dispensers will be ignited by the engine, which could lead to harm to persons, and
  • the vapour from nearby Class I liquid dispensers will be drawn into the engine's intake system, which could lead to over-revving or overheating of the engine, which could lead to a fire, which could lead to harm to persons.
