Petroleum storing Certificate
It is our responsibility to issue certificates to garages and other premises that store petrol. The certificate stipulates the conditions that need to be met to ensure that the product is stored safely at all times.
To run a business where petrol is stored for dispensing directly into the fuel tank of an internal combustion engine - or where large amounts of petrol are stored for private use you will need a certificate.
