FOREWORD
The Oil Industry in India is more than 100 years old. As such, a variety of
practices have been in vogue because of collaboration! association with different
foreign companies and governments. Standardisation in design philosophies, operating
and maintenance practices was hardly in existence at a national level in early days.
This coupled with feed back from some serious accidents that occurred in oil & gas
industry, the Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas in 1986 constituted a Safety Council
assisted by the Oil Industry Safety Directorate (OISD) for formulating and implementing
a series of self regulatory measures aimed at removing obsolescence, standardising
and upgrading the existing standards to ensure standardisation and safer operations,
Accordingly, OISD constituted a number of functional committees comprising of experts
Nominated from the industry to draw up standards and guidelines on various subjects
Retail Outlets are the principal installations for refueling of MS/HSD for automotive use.
The safety of these installations is of paramount concem keeping in view the
associated hazards of petroleum products handled, vehicles and public. Accidents at
Petroleum Retail Outlets in the recent past, emphasized the need for the industry to
review the existing design, operation and maintenance practices in Petroleum Retail
Outlets. Therefore, a need was felt to frame a standard for safe storage, handling of
Petroleum Products at Retail Outlet.
This document was prepared based on the accumulated experience and knowledge of
industry members, and various national and intemational codes and practices.
This document will be reviewed periodically for improvements based on the new
experiences and better understanding. Suggestions may be addressed to :

“STORAGE, HANDLING AND DISPENSING
AT
PETROLEUM RETAIL OUTLETS”
INTRODUCTION
Motor Spirit (MS) / High Speed Diesel (HSD) are widely used as automotive
fuels. There has been high growth in consumption of these products
commensurate with the increase in number of vehicles. Accordingly,
number of retail outlets for dispensing of MS/ HSD have gone up in the
country. In recent times, petroleum retail outlets have witnessed addition of
alternate fuels (namely LPG, CNG) and various other formats not connected
to petroleum fuels.
Accordingly, a need was felt to frame guidelines on safety of these
Petroleum Retail Outlets as safety at these installations is one of the
important considerations in view of the hazards associated with handling of
these products, operating conditions such as pressure, storage of other
flammable materials etc.
SCOPE
This standard lays down the minimum requirements in design, operation,
inspection, maintenance, training, consumer safety at Petroleum Retail
