The periodic inspections of underground combustion and diesel fuel tanks in the important groundwater areas set out in the Knun Plan for the Prevention of Oil Pollution Damage are laid down in this Decision.
This Decision does not concern:
(1) double-dipped containers or comparable containers with a leakage detection system;
(2) underground reservoirs in the safener with an alarming leakage detection system; and
Paragraph 3 is repealed by P 25.10.1995/1199 .
For the purposes of this Decision:
(1) Tank inspection, The measures required by the provisions of this Decision to verify the condition of the container;
(2) Inspection equipment Equipment and equipment for the inspection of the container; and
(3) In the safener The trough below the underground reservoir, which is connected to the oil extraction well.
Other equipment and concepts referred to in this Decision are defined in the decision of the Ministry of Trade and Industry of the Ministry of Trade and Industry for the heating of buildings (918/73) And the decision of the Ministry of Trade and Industry on the application of the combustible liquids Regulation (22/76) .
KTMp 918/1973 Has been abrogated with the kTMP oil-thermometer equipment 314/1985 And KTMp 922/1976 KTMp burning liquids 313/1985 .
Paragraph 4 has been repealed by P 25.10.1995/1199 .
Minutes shall be drawn up for the periodic inspection. The minutes shall be provided to the owner or holder of the container and, in addition, within 14 days of the inspection, shall forward a copy of the inspection to the fire chief of the municipality where the container is located.

The metal containers shall be checked from the inside. Before the inspection starts, the container should be carefully cleaned.
The inspection includes the determination of the place of corrosion, the measurement of corrosion depth and the marking of the inspection protocol and the detection of external damage. (25.10.1992)
Non-metallic containers shall be checked by a cross-pressure test or by any other equivalent means. The excess pressure used in the pressure test shall be between 0,2 and 0,3 bar (20-30 kPa) and under pressure (0,015-0,02 bar). (25.10.1992)
The container shall be considered close if the test pressure in the next 15 minutes after the temperature stabilization does not change in the pressure tank.
The results of the pressure test shall be recorded in the inspection protocol.
During the inspection of the container, a pressure test of 0,2-0,3 bar (20-30 kPa) shall be subjected to a pressure test at a return tube belonging to the tank. (25.10.1992)
The piping system shall be considered close if the test pressure in the next 15 minutes after the stabilization of the temperature does not decrease in the pressure tube.
The results of the pressure test shall be recorded in the inspection protocol.
The tanks shall be divided into the following categories according to their condition:
(1) category A: metal containers with a width of 3 mm from the inside of the container, measured on the inside of the container, and non-metallic containers which are found to be concise on the basis of the pressure test;
2) category B: metal containers with a width remaining from the inside of the container as measured by the deepest corrosion, not less than 1,5 mm but less than 3 mm;
(3) Category C: metal containers of which the width of the cylinder is less than 1,5 mm, measured on the inside of the container, of which the width of the container is less than 1,5 mm, or the wall of which changes shape when it is knocked from the inside to 0,5 kg by weight With a ball peen hammer; and
(4) Category D: containers holding a patch of sleep or cracks, or leaking in a tightness test.
The container shall be inspected for the first time within 10 years of the introduction of the container.
A category A metal container shall be rechecked for a period of five years and other than a metal container which, on the basis of an inspection, belongs to Class A, at intervals of 10 years.
The category B tank shall be checked again at two years intervals.
A Class C tank shall be decommissioned within six months of the completion of the inspection, unless the fire marshal, for specific reasons, determines the disposal of the container within the shorter period referred to above or allows it to be used for a longer period.
The category D tank shall be immediately removed.
Paragraph 1 is repealed by P 25.10.1995/1199 .
By welding the corrected B, C or D class container after the correction to category B. Such a tank may be transferred to category A on the basis of the following periodic inspection, provided that the welded spot examination does not detect Outsiders, no insides, no corrosion.
The decision of any other type A or B of a rectified, corrosion-protected or retreaded container shall be carried out by a safety-technology centre, which shall also decide on any other on-site inspection missions other than those in accordance with Article 10. (25.10.1992)
Paragraph 12 has been repealed by P 25.10.1995/1199 .
This Decision shall enter into force on 1 July 1983.

(2) containers which have been introduced before 1969, as well as containers whose period of introduction cannot be demonstrated, shall be inspected for the first time by the end of 1984.
Metal containers with no access point shall be decommissioned by the end of 1984.
In the case of new important groundwater basins in the municipality's plan to combat oil pollution after the entry into force of this Decision, an underground oil tank in such an area shall, within one year, carry out a review of the control plan referred to in Or within 10 years from the date of use of the container, whichever is the later.
