The provisions of this section of Part 8 in the 2002 BSS Standards are mandatory for non-private boats where applicable.
The principles that apply to the storage and supply of fuels and the potential sources of ignition are also covered in this Guide. These principles can be applied to the fitting of most domestic appliances on boats. The fire risk is the same and as such all fuel arrangements must comply with any other relevant parts of these Standards. [8.1]
