This report presents an approach applicable to the classification of upstream and downstream petroleum facilities by consideration of the individual point source procedure, as described in Chapter 5 of the IP Model Code of Safe Practice Part 15. ISBN 978-0-85293-238-4 Nov1998

This guidance document is intended to assist those in the UK comply with the statutory Electricity at Work Regulations (1989) and petroleum storage legislation, with regard to electrical design and installation regarding to the storage and dispensing of LPG and/or CNG as an automotive fuel.

This guidance document looks at applying an efficient risk-based assessment methodology for determining safety integrity level (SIL) requirements and SIL allocations for the electrical protection function of various plant items.

These guidelines considers how risk assessment techniques can be used to help the designer specify appropriate containment measures which take account of the characteristics of the site and its environmental setting. There is extensive literature on quantitative risk assessment which should be consulted if a more in-depth knowledge is required.

The purpose of this Code is to provide a guide to safe practices in the in-service examination and test of piping systems used in the petroleum and chemical industries.

This title is essential reading for designers, managers, engineers and consultants responsible for the design and specification of safe electrical equipment for petroleum, petrochemical and similar installations handling flammable fluids.

Essential reading for HSE managers and all those involved in the hazardous area classification of installations handling flammable fluids, IP15 is a well-established, internationally accepted Code which includes a demonstrable methodology for specifying hazard radii. This new edition provides clarification on issues which have been raised by users of the 2nd edition published in 2002.

Essential reading for process safety engineers, safety advisors, designers, emergency planners or others with responsibility for fire and explosion hazard management to meet the pertinent requirements of the European Seveso II Directive, whether sites are classified lower or upper tier.
