CAN ULC-S653-2016-REV1 2019 PDF Download

The CAN ULC-S653-2016-REV1 2019 standard is a set of regulations that outline the minimum requirements for aboveground steel contained tank assemblies used for storing flammable and combustible liquids. These liquids can include products such as gasoline, fuel oil, or similar substances with a relative density not exceeding 1.0. It is important to note that this standard does not address the specifications for accessory devices and appurtenances like overfill protection, spill containment, and sumps.

The installation and use of these tank assemblies are subject to the regulations set forth by the authority having jurisdiction, which may include references to other codes and standards. Examples of such codes and standards mentioned in the text include the National Fire Code of Canada, Part 4, the CSA B139 Installation code for oil-burning equipment, and the CCME PN 1326 Environmental Code of Practice for Aboveground and Underground Storage Tank Systems Containing Petroleum and Allied Petroleum Products. These additional codes and standards may provide further guidance on the proper installation, operation, and safety requirements of these tank assemblies.
