II. PARTICUL AR REGUL ATIONS
1
Object of approval and area of application
(1) Object of this General Construction Inspection Approval is
factory-produced containers described in Annex 1, consisting
of a polyethylene (PE-HD) interior container produced in a blow
moulding process and an external container made of galvanised
sheet steel; The containers are manufactured with a capacity of
400 litres. On the top of the containers there are four connection
points devices for fi lling, fl ushing with air and de-airing, protection
against overfi lling, emptying and fi ll level monitoring.
The containers are equipped with a leak detector. The containers
are placed on a steel footing structure.
(2) The containers may only be placed as single containers within
buildings, and not in Zone 0 and 1 areas with risk of explosion.
(3) The containers can be utilised for storage at normal pressure
of the following liquids:
1. Heating oil EL grade, as in DIN 51 6031
2. Diesel fuel as in DIN 5902
3. Diesel fuel compliant with DIN EN 142143 (biodiesel)
(only in the permeation-resistant version of the inner container)
4. Lubricating oils, hydraulic oils, heat transfer oils (Q grade)
mixed or unmixed, non-fl ammable or with fl ash points ≥ 100 °C
5. Used lubricating oils, hydraulic oils, thermal oils Q grade,
ignition point over 55 °C; operator must be able to prove origin
and ignition point.
6. Photographic chemicals, commercial grade, in concentrations
for use (new and used) with a density of no more than 1.15
g/cm3
(4) This General Construction Inspection Approval satisfi es
the obligation to obtain a suitability determination for water
regulations and the qualifi cation approval under § 19 h of the
Water Resources Act.

2.1.4 Fire behaviour (fl ame resistance)
The containers of this General Construction Inspection Approval,
consisting of interior and exterior containers, are designed to
withstand fl ames in rooms of buildings that meet the requirements
for heating and storage rooms for 30 minutes without leaking.
2.1.5 Leak detection
See Sec. 1 (1), also Sec. 5.1.1 (3) for leak detector usage.
2.2 Manufacture, packaging, transport, storage and labelling
2.2.1 Manufacture
(1) The container must be manufactured according to the
manufacturer's description fi led with the DIBt.
(2) In addition to the manufacturing description, the containers
must comply with the requirements of Annex 3, Sec. 1.
(3) The containers are permitted to be manufactured in Plant 3
of CHEMOWERK GmbH, 71384 Weinstadt, Germany.
(4) The inner container may be subjected to a fl uorinating
treatment.
2.2.2 Packaging, transport, storage

used) for interior and exterior containers.
- The fl uorinated inner container must be labelled for the material
and additionally with the letter combination "CPA";
- Allowed operating temperature;
- A notice that operation is at normal pressure;
- A notice "Outdoor placement not allowed";
- A notice "Only for storing substances according to General
Construction Inspection Approval no. Z-40.21-365".
(3) The fi lling level corresponding to the maximum approved fi lling
volume (see Sec. 5.1.3) must be marked on the level indicator.
2.3 Proof of conformity
2.3.1 Overview
(1) Proof that the containers conform to the conditions of this
General Construction Inspection Approval is a certifi cate of
conformity obtained by the manufacturing plant on the basis of
the manufacturer's production quality control and regular external
monitoring, including a fi rst test of the containers to the standards
of the following conditions.
