PUBLISHED DOCUMENT PD 54823:2016 The British Standards Institution 2016 iForeword Publishing information This Published Document is published by BSI Standards Limited, under licence from The British Standards Institution, and came into effect
11、on 31 March 2016. It was prepared by Technical Committee GME/33, Small craft. A list of organizations represented on this committee can be obtained on request to its secretary. Supersession This Published Document supersedes PD 5482-3:2005, which is withdrawn. Relationship with other publications Th
12、is document is a supplement to BS EN ISO 10239:2014, unlike its predecessor, PD 5482-3:2005, which was a stand-alone document. As such, reference might need to be made to BS EN ISO 10239:2014 for more information in certain circumstances, including the fitting of additional appliances or major syste
13、m modification. However, for design, commissioning and maintenance, this document gives sufficient guidance. If any conflict arises between the two documents, then BS EN ISO 10239:2014 takes precedence. Information about this document This is a full revision of the Published Document, and introduces
14、 the following principal changes: the identifier has been changed to PD 54823, as the Published Document has been revised in such a way that it no longer belongs in the 5482 series; the text has been revised to supplement BS EN ISO 10239:2014, concerning the design, commissioning and maintenance of
15、small craft LPG installations; gas tightness testing of LPG supply line and appliances has been improved; and an annex covering cooking appliances with integral LPG cartridges has been added. Hazard warnings WARNING. This Published Document calls for the use of substances and/or procedures that can
16、be injurious to health if adequate precautions are not taken. It refers only to technical suitability and does not absolve the user from legal obligations relating to health and safety at any stage. Use of this document As a guide, this Published Document takes the form of guidance and recommendatio
17、ns. It should not be quoted as if it were a specification or a code of practice and claims of compliance cannot be made to it. Presentational conventions The provisions of this Published Document are presented in roman (i.e. upright) type. Its recommendations are expressed in sentences in which the
18、principal auxiliary verb is “should”. Commentary, explanation and general informative material is presented in smaller italic type, and does not constitute a normative element.

21、s page deliberately left blank iv The British Standards Institution 20161 Scope 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 permanen
22、tly installed gas burning installations in small craft 1) of up to 24 m 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
23、 Document also covers cooking appliances with integral LPG cartridges, for which guidence is given in Annex A. This Published Document does not cover: new system installation requirements as covered in BS EN ISO 10239:2014; major system modification for which BS EN ISO 10239:2014 is to be used for i
24、nstallation requirements; additional appliances (including additional piping and additional hose) added to an existing system for which BS EN ISO 10239:2014 is to be used for installation requirements; on-shore installation of bulk supplies of LPG; catering equipment; portable LPG-burning appliances
25、 not covered in Annex A; 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 BS EN 15609.
