Intent

Intent 1:

To supersede the time limitation of Sentence 4.11.2.4.(1) in order to permit a tank vehicle to be left unattended for more than 1 hour if certain conditions are met.

This is to limit the probability that:

  • the tank vehicle will become involved in a vehicular accident or other impacts, which could lead to damage to the tank vehicle, which could lead to the escape of liquid, which could lead to the ignition of vapour from a nearby ignition source, which could lead to damage to adjacent buildings or facilities, and
  • a fire or explosion involving the tank vehicle will spread to an adjacent building, which could lead to damage to adjacent buildings or facilities.
