What are the Applicable Rules of the OSFM for a LP-Gas Tank Installation?
The rules are found at 41 Illinois Administrative Code 200. The “Part 200” rules primarily reference National Fire Protection Association Standard #58 “The LP-Gas Code” for the installation and operation of liquefied petroleum gas tanks. Effective October 1, 2008 the section of the Illinois Administrative Code (41 Ill. Adm. Code 200), wherein the Office of the Illinois State Fire Marshal adopts the National Fire Protection Association’s (NFPA) Standard #58, the LP-Gas Code(R), has been modified to adopt the 2008 edition of NFPA 58 to replace the previously applicable 2004 edition of that standard. The rules have also been updated to reference the 2006 edition of NFPA 54 The National Fuel Gas Code(R) to replace an older edition of NFPA 54 that was previously referenced. All new installations or modifications conducted in Illinois as of October 1, 2008 must comply with these updated editions of the adopted standards.
