3 Classification and marking

3.1 Product classification

This standard is divided into 3 varieties, according to the composition and volatility of

LPG: Commercial propane (used when high volatility is required), commercial butane (used when low volatility is required), commercial propane-butane mixture (used when medium volatility is required).

Sampling shall be carried out in accordance with SH/T 0233. The sampling amount shall meet the required quantity for the exit-factory inspection or type inspection items.

5.4 Judgment rules

If the exit-factory inspection results meet the technical requirements in Chapter 4, the batch of products is judged to be qualified.

5.5 Re-inspection rules

If the exit-factory inspection results do not meet the technical requirements in Table 1, re-take double amount of sample from the same batch of products, according to SH/T

0233, to carry out re-inspection of the unqualified items. If the re-inspection results still do not meet the technical requirements of Table 1, the batch of products is judged to be unqualified.

6 Marking, packaging, transportation, storage

6.1 According to GB 12268, liquefied petroleum gas belongs to the flammable gas of category 2, item 2.1 of hazardous chemicals; its hazard marking is carried out according to GB 13690 and GB 190.

6.2 The liquefied petroleum gas storage tank shall be located in the storage tank area.

Liquefied petroleum gas storage sites shall meet the requirements of GB 50016 and GB

50028. It shall be equipped with eye-catching signs, such as "flammable products, no fire".
