This Standard sets forth minimum requirements for steel, non-pressure tanks that are used for the
aboveground storage of mmable and combustible liquids compatible with the material of construction
and with a specific gravity not greater than 1.0.
NOTE: These tanks may also be used for the storage of used oil. For tanks intended solely for the
collection of used oil, refer to CAN/ULC-S652, Standard for Tank Assemblies for the Collection of
Used Oil. This Standard covers tanks, which are fabricated, inspected and tested for leakage before
shipment from the factory. This Standard covers the construction of tanks for use in stationary
installations. Tanks fabricated in accordance with this Standard are not intended for the
transportation of flammable and combustible liquids nor are they intended to be transported while
containing such liquids. NOTE: Relocation of tanks other than utility tanks is subject to the
requirements of the authority having jurisdiction. Section 4 of this Standard covers the construction of
single wall tanks. Section 5 covers the construction of tanks with secondary containment. This
Standard also covers aboveground steel, rectangular, non-pressure workbench tanks for the
combined use as a working surface and storage of lubricating oils having capacities up to and
including 2500 L. This Standard also covers aboveground steel, rectangular, non-pressure, generatorbase
tanks. This Standard also covers utility tanks and double bottom utility tanks designed to allow
for location as required by their intended service. These tanks are for installation at locations such as
farms, construction sites, demolition sites, exploration sites, forestry operations and similar locations.
This Standard does not cover wind loading or seismic loading of tanks. However, Guidelines for the
Maximum Structural Limitations for Vertical Tanks (A2) are included in Appendix A (Informative),
