    This Code does not apply to


    a) transportation of propane;


    b) manufacture, selection, and use of standardized means of containment under the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Act and Regulations;


    c) new containers which have not contained propane or used containers identified as having been purged to less than 5% of the LEL as determined by a calibrated gas meter;


    d) marine or pipeline terminals;


    e) gas where used as a feedstock in petroleum refineries or chemical plants;

    m) propane used as refrigerant.


    1.3

    Where the term propane is used, the requirements of this Code include, and apply equally to, any material that is composed predominantly of any of the following hydrocarbons or mixtures of them: propane, propylene, butanes (normal butane or isobutane), and butylenes.


    1.4

    The values given in yard/pound units are the standard, unless noted otherwise. This Code contains SI (metric) equivalents to yard/pound units so that the Code can be used in SI (metric) units. SI (metric) equivalents may be approximate unless they are the standard.

    Annexes are designated normative (mandatory) or informative (non-mandatory) to define their application.
