This Published Document gives guidance for the design, commissioning and maintenance of LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) systems, including replacement appliances, replacement hose and replacement piping. It covers permanently installed gas burning installations in small craft 1) of up to 24m in length, using LPG operating at a nominal pressure of up to 50 mbar 2) . The LPG is from either cyclinders stowed on board or the on-board aspects of the gas system in the situation of a fixed shore bulk supply. This Published Document also covers cooking appliances with integral LPG cartridges, for which guidence is given in AnnexA. This Published Document does not cover: new system installation requirements as covered in BSENISO10239:2014 ; major system modification for which BSENISO10239:2014 is to be used for installation requirements; additional appliances (including additional piping and additional hose) added to an existing system for which BSENISO10239:2014 is to be used for installation requirements; on-shore installation of bulk supplies of LPG; catering equipment; portable LPG-burning appliances not covered in AnnexA; the installation of LPG generators; or the use of LPG for propulsion of vessels for which guidance is given in UKLPG Code of Practice 18 [6] or BSEN15609 . NOTE Further information on gas supply systems to permanently moored craft can be found in IGEM/G/6 [7].
