Improve fire safety in service stations and repair facilities with the critical guidelines outlined in the 2012 edition of NFPA 30A.

Service stations dispensing flammable fuels can avoid serious hazards only by adhering to specialized guidelines. The 2012 NFPA 30A: Code for Motor Fuel Dispensing Facilities and Repair Garages provides the latest rules for piping, fuel dispensing systems, service stations inside buildings, and operations for retail fuel dispensing and fleet vehicle fuel dispensing.

Changes in this updated edition include:

  • New 6.3.6, Inspection and Maintenance, addresses inspection, maintenance, and repair of fuel dispensing equipment, leak detection equipment, and secondary containment equipment.
  • New 6.6.1.1 requires that any modification of the dispensing nozzle be either listed or be approved by the manufacturer of the nozzle.
  • Amended Subsection 6.6.1 requires that all dispensing nozzles, except those used for marine fuel dispensing, have a latch-open device.
  • New 7.4.7.4 requires that the circuits of gas detection systems required for repair garages be monitored for integrity in accordance with NFPA 72?: National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code.
  • Revised Section 12.5, Specific Requirements for LP-Gas Dispensing Devices, eliminates a conflict with NFPA 58: Liquefied Petroleum Gas Code.

Work safely with revised Chapter 8, Electrical Installations.

Extensively revised and updated, NFPA 30A’s Chapter 8 incorporates a new Table 8.3.1 that includes criteria for the Zone system for area classification, a revised drawing that depicts the extent of area classification around fuel dispensing units, and a new diagram depicting the extent of area classification around tank-mounted fuel dispensing units.

Today’s NFPA 30A is an essential resource for architects and engineers involved with design and construction of motor fuel dispensing facilities, AHJs and other professionals with oversight/review authority, and facility owners and operators.

Fire safety at motor fuel dispensing operations and motor vehicle repair facilities depends on the critical guidelines in NFPA 30A.

Dispensing flammable motor fuels can present serious hazards that can be avoided by adhering to specialized guidelines. The 2015 edition of NFPA 30A: Code for Motor Fuel Dispensing Facilities and Repair Garages provides the latest rules for fuel storage and piping, fuel dispensing systems, and operating procedures for retail fuel dispensing, marine fuel dispensing, and fleet vehicle fuel dispensing. NFPA 30A also covers gaseous motor vehicle fuels when dispensed at the same locations as liquid fuels.

Now with a refined scope and added references to ANSI/UL standards:

  • NFPA 30A’s scope has been clarified and revised to state that the Code applies to repair garages regardless of the type of fuel present, and that the Code does not apply to aircraft fueling.
  • Chapter 6: Fuel Dispensing Systems includes added references to ANSI/UL 842: Standard for Valves for Flammable Fluids and ANSI/UL 2586: Standard for Hose Nozzle Valves.
  • Amended Chapter 12 Additional Requirements for CNG, LNG, Hydrogen, and LPG resolves inconsistencies between NFPA 30A and other NFPA® codes addressing alternative fuels.

Clearer requirements mean better fire safety in service stations. Update to the 2015 NFPA 30A today.

Today’s NFPA 30A is an essential resource for architects and engineers involved with design and construction of motor fuel dispensing facilities, AHJs and other professionals with oversight/review authority, and facility owners and operators.

NFPA 30A also covers gaseous motor vehicle fuels when dispensed at the same locations as liquid fuels.

Major changes in this edition improve safety and expand the Code’s scope:

  • A new Chapter 14 has been added to address the subject of on-demand mobile fueling.
  • Aboveground storage tanks installed within the scope of the Code must comply with all applicable provisions of Chapter 4.
  • A new provision mandates that a leak detection device must restrict or shut flow of fuel if a leak is detected, instead of simply providing an audible or visible indication of a leak.
  • When the emergency shutoff device is actuated, mechanical or electrical isolation of fluid handling systems other than fuel is now required.
  • Gas and vapor removal at the ceiling level is now required for areas where vehicles using lighter-than-air fuels are repaired.
  • Major repair garages that repair hydrogen-fueled vehicles now must also meet the provisions of NFPA 2: Hydrogen Technologies Code.
  • Added language clarifies that sprinkler protection provisions apply to the entire building wherein the repair garage is located.
  • Numerous other changes clarify the Code’s intent and make requirements more explicit.

Clearer requirements mean better fire safety in service stations. Update to the 2018 edition of NFPA 30A today.
