30、ared by the Technical Committee on Automotive and Marine Service Stations. It wasissued by the Standards Council on March 28, 2014, with an effective date of April 17, 2014,and supersedes all previous editions.A Tentative Interim Amendment (TIA) to Table 12.6.2 was issued on March 14, 2014. Forfurth
31、er information on tentative interim amendments, see Section 5 of the Regulations Gov-erning the Development of NFPA Standards, available at: http:/www.nfpa.org/regsThis edition of NFPA 30A was approved as an American National Standard on May 19, 2014.Origin and Development of NFPA 30AThis code origi
32、nated as Chapter 7 of NFPA 30, Flammable and Combustible Liquids Code, andwas developed by the Technical Committee on Flammable and Combustible Liquids to pro-vide more detailed requirements for vehicle fueling and to anticipate the need to addressself-service fueling and alternative fuels. It was f
33、irst adopted in 1984. The second edition,adopted in 1987, recognized unattended self-service fueling, and a third edition, adopted in1990 and prepared by the (new) Technical Committee on Automotive and Marine ServiceStations, incorporated requirements for lubrication-only service facilities. The fou
34、rth edition,adopted in 1993, incorporated several major amendments, the most important of whichallowed aboveground fuel storage tanks at retail motor fuel dispensing facilities, based on aTentative Interim Amendment to the 1990 edition.The 1996 (fifth) edition of NFPA 30A incorporated the following
35、major amendments:(1) An increase in the maximum allowable aboveground fuel storage for Class II liquids (i.e.,diesel fuel) at fleet refueling operations to 75,700 L (20,000 gal) per tank, with a maxi-mum aggregate capacity of 302,800 L (80,000 gal)(2) A new chapter that provided comprehensive fire s
36、afety requirements for marine motorfuel dispensing facilities, including fuel dispensing practices(3) More specific requirements for installation and function of the emergency shear valve atthe base of the fuel dispenser(4) A new section on low melting point piping materialsAfter the adoption of the
37、 1996 edition of NFPA 30A, the Technical Committee on Auto-motive and Marine Service Stations was given responsibility for NFPA 88B, Standard for RepairGarages, and was also charged with developing fire safety requirements for alternative fuels,such as compressed natural gas (CNG), when these fuels
38、are dispensed along with liquidfuels. With respect to repair garages, the Technical Committee decided to integrate the tech-nical requirements of NFPA 88B into NFPA 30A.The 2000 (sixth) edition of NFPA 30A incorporated the following major amendments:(1) A change in the title of the document to Code
39、for Motor Fuel Dispensing Facilities and RepairGarages to more accurately reflect its scope(2) A complete editorial review to enhance readability and to replace ambiguous text(3) Revisions to the minimum separation distances for aboveground storage tanks, includingminimum separation distances for pr
40、otected aboveground tanks and tanks in vaults(4) Addition of basic requirements for protected aboveground tanks(5) Corrosion protection requirements for tanks and piping(6) New and more detailed requirements for installation and testing of piping systems, in-cluding secondary containment piping30A1N

45、A contained minor revisions. All technical specifications for tanks wereremoved and replaced by references to NFPA 30, Flammable and Combustible Liquids Code. References to NFPA 52,Vehicular Gaseous Fuel Systems Code, were inserted into Chapter 12 to address storage and dispensing of hydrogen atfaci
46、lities that dispense gaseous liquid fuels.The 2012 (ninth) edition of NFPA 30A incorporated the following major amendments:(1) Definitions for combustible liquid and flammable liquid have been revised to correlate with NFPA 30, Flammable andCombustible Liquids Code, and relocated to their proper loc
