Approval and testing obligations
A mounting diagram must be delivered to the operator, in which the tank diameter, capacity,
nozzle height, manhole cover thickness and the dimensions "x" and "y" as well as the Overfill
Prevention Sensor type with approval code can be seen.
Testing obligations in accordance with §§ 15 and 16 of the German Industrial Safety
Regulations (BetrSichV) and § 1 of the German Regulations on Equipment Handling
Substances Hazardous to Water (WasgefStAnlV). In other countries, the correspond-
ing national rules and regulations must be observed.
Storage facilities for static tanks, filler points, petrol stations, airport refuelling equip-
ment, and their components, e.g. Overfill Prevention Sensors, must be tested by an
approved inspection agency prior to commissioning, re-commissioning (after modifi-
cations subject to testing) as well as repeatedly at specific testing intervals.
The system parts, e.g. Overfill Prevention Sensors, must be tested at regular intervals
by the operator or an authorised person as required by the manufacturer's operating
instructions, e.g. by using the FAFNIR Overfill Prevention Sensor tester ME 6.
