New Code For Cylinders

The LP Gas Association has published a revision of Code of Practice 24 Part 1: 2006 – Use of Lpg Cylinders at Residential and Similar Premises. The new Code brings together and expands the 1998 editions of Code of Practice 24 Parts 1 and 2, which have been withdrawn.

The new Code gives guidance to dealers, stockists, installers and authorities for the installation and safe use of lpg in cylinders at residential and similar premises. It covers the use of:

  • Lpg cylinders located out of doors supplying appliances via a fixed pipework installation, including the design and construction of cylinder enclosures
  • Propane cylinders indoors for maintenance purposes by tradesmen, e.g. plumbers and heating engineers, whose presence in residential premises is generally on a temporary or limited time basis
  • Butane cylinders indoors
  • Lpg cylinders outside dwellings supplying appliances for leisure purposes, e.g. barbecues, patio heaters.

The Code can be ordered via the LPGA’s website at www.lpga.co.uk
