II. PARTICULAR REGULATIONS
1Objectof approval andarea of application
(1) Object of this General Construction Inspection Approval is
factory-produced containers described in Annex 1, consisting
of a polyethylene (PE-HD) interior container produced in a
blow moulding process and an external container made of
galvanised sheet steel. The containers are manufactured with
volume capacities of 750 I and 1000 I.
On the top of the containers there are four connection muffs
to accept equipment for œlling, aeration and deaeration, emp-
tying, and œll level monitoring. The volume between the inner
and outer containers is equipped with a leak detector.
(2) The containers may only be placed as single containers within
buildings, and not in Zone 0 and 1 areas with risk of explosion.
(3) The containers can be utilised for storage at normal pressure
of the following liquids:
1. Heating oil EL grade, as in DIN 51 6031
2. Diesel fuel as in DIN 5902
3. Diesel fuel as in DIN EN 14214 (biodiesel)
(permitted only in inner containers marked as „CPA“)
4. Lubricating oils, hydraulic oils, heat transfer oils (Q grade)
mixed or unmixed, with ›ash points > 55 °C
5. Used lubricating oils, hydraulic oils, thermal oils Q grade,
used oils, ignition point over 55 °C (operator must be able
to prove origin and ignition point)
6. Photographic chemicals (new and used), commercial
grade, in usable concentrations, with a density of no more
than 1.15 g/ml
7. Plant oils such as cottonseed, olive, canola, castor, or
wheat germ oil in all concentrations
(4) This General Construction Inspection Approval satisœes
the obligation to obtain a suitability determination for water
regulations and the qualiœcation approval under § 19 h of the
Water Resources Act.

2.1.3Stability veriœcation
The containers are stable under prescribed conditions of use up
to an operating temperature of 30 °C.
2.1.4Fire behaviour (›ame resistance)
Containers complying with this General Construction Inspection
Approval, consisting of interior and exterior containers, are
designed to withstand ›ames in rooms of buildings that meet
the requirements for heating and storage rooms for 30 minutes
without leaking.
2.1.5Leak detection
To satisfy the water directive requirements, a leak detector suit-
able for the intended use, with General Construction Inspection
Approval, must be installed between the interior and exterior
containers [see Secs. 1 (1) and 5.1.1 (3)].
2.2Manufacture,packaging,transport,storage and labelling
2.2.1Manufacture
(1) The container must be manufactured according to the manu-
facturing description œled with the DIBt.
(2)Inaddition to themanufacturing description,the requirements
of Annex 3, Sec. 1 must be followed.
(3) The containers are may be manufactured only in Plant 3 of
Chemowerk GmbH.
(4)
To reduce permeation, the inner containers may be ›uorinated.
2.2.2Packaging, transport, storage
Packaging, transport, and storage must conform to Annex 3, Sec.2.
2.2.3Labelling
(1) The containers must be labelled with the conformity mark
in compliance with the conformity directives of the German
states. The mark may be used only if the requirements of
Sec. 2.3 are fulœlled.
(2) In addition, the manufacturer must label the containers on the
outside wall with the following, clearly visible and durable:
-Manufacturing number;
- Date of manufacture;
-Volume capacity of the interior container in litres, up to
allowed œlling (compliant with Approval Guidelines for Avoid-
ance of Overœlling „ZG-ÜS“)6;
-Material (the labelling must indicate the moulding compound
used, for example, „PE-HD – Lupolen 4261 AG UV“) for
interior and exterior containers.
-Allowed operating temperature;
-The ›uorinated inner container labelling must indicate the
material and also include the letters “CPA”.
- A notice that operation is at normal pressure;
- A notice ”Outdoor placement not allowed”;
- A notice ”Only for storing substances according to General
Construction Inspection Approval no. Z-40.21-288”.
(3) The œlling level corresponding to the maximum
approved œlling volume (see Sec. 5.1.3)
must be marked on the level indicator.

5Name and company address/location are on record with the DIBt (Ger-
man Institute for Structural Engineering).
