Operation
5.1.5.1
General
(1)
Before beginning to use the individual standing containers, the operator must affix a
sign at a suitable place to identify the stored liquid and its density and concentration. The
labelling required by other regulations remains unaffected.
(2)
The operating directives of TRbF 20 and the Ordinance on Facilities Dealing with
Substances Hazardous to Water and on Specialist Companies (VAwS) must be observed.
5.1.5.2
Filling and emptying
(1)
Before filling, one must check whether the substance to be stored corresponds to the
approved substance as marked on the container and that the filling temperature does not
exceed 40 °C. One must additionally check how much stored liquid the container can
accommodate and whether the overfill protection mechanism is working properly.
(2)
The containers must be filled and emptied using firmly attached lines (pipes or hoses),
provided water and occupational safety regulations do not provide for an exception.
(3)
Contrary to the requirement in Paragraph 2, if they are individually standing, containers
for storing EL heating oil pursuant to DIN 51603 and diesel fuel pursuant to DIN EN 590 and
DIN EN ISO 14214 may be filled from road tank vehicles or a portable tank with a full hose
system using an automatic shut-off valve at fill rates up to 200 l/min.
(4)
Filling must be completely supervised.
5.1.5.3
Further Provisions
(1)
The operating temperature of the stored liquids must not exceed 30 °C. However, the
temperature may exceed the operating temperature by 10 K for short periods (such as when
the storage liquid is at a higher temperature during filling).
(2)
For use of the containers to store used lubricating, hydraulic and heat transfer oils and
used photo chemicals, collection containers with nozzles for secure connection of a permanent
pipe or removable line are used by trained technicians (not by just anyone).
5.2
Maintenance, servicing
(1)
The operator of a storage facility must only commission those businesses which are
specialist firms in certain tasks within the meaning of § 19 I of the Water Resources Act [WHG]
unless this type of work has been excepted from the specialist requirement by state regulations,
or the manufacturer of the containers performs these activities with its own specialist staff.
(2)
For the storage of fluids with a flashpoint under 100° C, the tasks pursuant to (1) must
be performed by businesses that are also specialist firms within the meaning of TRbF 20 No.
15.4.
(3)
Measures to correct damage must be undertaken in consultation with a competent
8
expert in synthetic materials
or with the participation of the applicant, if applicable.
(4)
Cleaning the inside of containers with solvents (e.g. for an inspection) is not permitted.
The accident prevention regulations and regulations on the use of chemical cleaning agents
and the disposal of cleaning waste must be observed.

Inspections
5.3.1
Performance test/pre-commissioning inspection
(1)
A performance test is required after installing the containers and mounting the pipelines and
It consists of a visual inspection, water/air-tightness test, inspection/test of
safety devices.
pipelines and fittings and other equipment.
The performance test does not replace any pre-commissioning inspection that must be performed by an
expert under water law; however it is possible to perform them at the same time.
5.3.2
Ongoing inspections/inspections after commissioning
(1)
The operator must visually examine the containers for water/air-tightness at least once per week.
If problems with the seal are discovered, the unit must be taken out of operation immediately and
the damaged containers must be emptied, if applicable.
(2)
The functionality of the leak detector pursuant to Section 1 (4) and Section 5.1.1 (3) must be
verified against the specifications provided in the national technical approval for this leak detector.
(3)
Inspections required pursuant to other regulations remain unaffected.

Manufacture, packaging, transport and storage
1
Manufacturing requirements
(1)
The containers must be manufactured in the same manufacturing facilities where the containers tested for the
proof of suitability were produced.
(2)
The interior container surface may not be chemically treated if this treatment is not a component of the
National Technical Approval.
(3)
If the blowing facility undergoes changes (e.g. on the extruder, blowing head or blowing mould), the
certification agency must be informed, which then makes a decision about how to proceed (involvement of the DIBt,
special inspections).
2
Packaging, transport, storage
2.1
Packaging
It is not necessary to package the containers for the purpose of transport or (temporary) storage if the requirements
of Section 2.2 are met. All nozzle openings must be closed by screwing on the caps.
2.2
Transport, storage
2.2.1
General
Transport must be carried out only by those companies with specialist experience, suitable machinery, equipment
and means of transport and properly trained staff. To avoid hazards for employees and third parties, the relevant
accident protection regulations must be observed.
2.2.2
Preparation for transport
The containers must be prepared for transport so that no damage occurs during loading, transport and unloading.
The loading surface of the transport vehicle must be such that it is not possible to damage the containers by impact
or pressure against a pointed object.
2.2.3
Loading and unloading
When lifting, moving and setting down the containers, impact loads must be avoided.
If a forklift is used, the containers must be secured while on the forklift.
Connection pieces and protruding parts of the containers may not be used for lashing or lifting. The containers must
not be dragged over the ground or floor.
2.2.4
Carriage
The containers must be secured against moving around during carriage. The containers must
not be damaged by the mode of fastening used.
2.2.5
Storage
When temporarily stored outside, the containers should be protected from damage and storms. Containers may not
be exposed to the elements for more than 6 months. It must be absolutely ensured that no rain water or similar
substance has gotten between the interior container and the collector device.
2.2.6
Damage
For damage caused during transport or interim storage, a competent expert
the course of action.

1
General
(1)
The containers must be installed under observance of Sections 3 and 4 of the "Special Provisions" of this
National Technical Approval.
(2)
In high water or flood areas, the containers must be placed so that they cannot be reached by the flood.
2
Storage surface
The bottoms of the containers must stand completely on a flat, unbending and smooth slab or a carefully sealed and
secured flat storage surface.
3
Distances
(1)
The containers must be placed at such a distance from walls, other components and each other that at all
times the fill level, leaks and status can be visually ascertained.
The leak indicator and fill level indicator must be easily readable. Moreover, the containers must be placed so that
there is a low risk of explosion and means to extinguish the fire are sufficiently available.
(2)
Each container should have access from at least one side, and in general, the following distances are
required:
The containers must have clearance to the wall of at least 40 cm on at least one side. The distance to the other walls
and of the container walls among each other must be at least 5 cm.
4
Setting up
The containers must be installed level at their location. The installation instructions delivered with the containers (see
Section 5.1.4 of the Special Provisions) must be observed.
5
Connecting pipelines
(1)
When connecting pipelines to the container nozzles, it must be ensured that nothing is forced and no
additional unforeseen external loads affect the containers.
(2)
Lines for ventilation and exhaust air must conform to TRbF 20
and it must not be possible to block them. They and their pipe connections must be designed so that they remain
sealed at 0.3 bar overpressure. Several containers may be connected to the same ventilation and exhaust pipeline
only if the liquids they store and their vapours do not combine to produce dangerous compounds. Ventilation and
exhaust lines or systems may not terminate in closed spaces. This does not apply to individually set-up containers
with a volume of up to 1000 l for storing EL heating oil pursuant to DIN 51603 and diesel fuel pursuant to DIN EN 590
and DIN EN 14214. The exhaust openings must be protected from rain water seeping in.
