1 Scope
This part of BS 5410 gives recommendations and guidance on the design, installation, commissioning and
maintenance of liquid fuel consuming equipment used in conjunction with industrial
installations, such as standby generators, furnaces, kilns and ovens. Recommendations and guidance are given for the selection, application
and installation of burners, storage tanks, piping systems, accommodation, chimneys, electrical and control equipment.
This part of BS 5410 is applicable to installations consuming liquid fuel conforming to BS 2869, BS EN 16900, BS EN 590, including biofuels conforming to BS EN 14214, and blends thereof, and BS EN 15940.
NOTE For the avoidance of doubt, the scope of this British Standard does not include equipment in relation to liquid gases.
This British Standard covers the provision of new installations and also gives guidance
on the modernizing of existing installations. Recommendations and guidance are given
on the selection and installation of liquid fuel storage tanks associated with these
installations.
This British Standard is primarily intended for use by designers, specifiers, installers
and building owners of systems having an environmental impact and seeking to use the
best available technologies that have the potential for improvement through design
where practical.
