Chapter 7: Inspection, Evaluation,and Testing_ <br /> • Recommended practice—advisory document often useful for a particular situation. <br /> • Specification—may be one element of a code or standard or may be used interchangeably with <br /> these terms. <br /> This section provides an overview and description of the scope and key elements of pertinent industry <br /> inspection standards, including references to relevant sections of the standards. In each case,the purpose is to <br /> allow EPA inspectors to be familiar with the general scope and requirements. However, industry standards may <br /> be developed or revised over time. For more detailed and complete information, EPA inspectors should review <br /> the text of the actual standards. This Chapter reflects the content of the standards at the time EPA revised this <br /> Guidance. When words such as "must," "required," and "necessary," or other such terms are used in this <br /> section, they are used in describing what the various standards specify and are not considered requirements <br /> imposed by EPA, unless otherwise stated in the regulations. <br /> Table 7-5 summarizes the facility components covered by selected industry standards and <br /> recommended practices for tanks,valves, pipes, and appurtenances that are discussed in this section.Additional <br /> standards and/or equipment manufacturers' standards may also apply. <br /> Table 7-5: Summary of facility components covered in industry standards for inspection, evaluation,and <br /> testing. <br /> Facility Component(s)Covered in Standard or Potentially Relevant Standards and Recommended Practices <br /> Recommended Practice <br /> Ln -;rM -T <br /> M rn rn d <br /> Ln <br /> W a LMa aco co <br /> it `A a cc cc u' ui d <br /> Q H Q Q Q Q Q Q Q U. <br /> New equipment ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ <br /> Equipment that has been in service ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ <br /> Shop-built AST ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ <br /> Field-erected AST ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ <br /> Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic tanks ✓ <br /> Container supports or foundation ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ <br /> Diked area ✓ <br /> Aboveground valves, piping,and appurtenances ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ <br /> Underground piping ✓ ✓ <br /> Offshore valves, piping, and appurtenances ✓ <br /> *Recommended practice. <br /> SPCC GUIDANCE FOR REGIONAL INSPECTORS 7-61 <br /> December 16, 2013 <br />
