Industry codes must be published . 3 . The Petroleum Equipment Institute' s ( PEI ) Recommended Practices for the Testing and Verification of Spill, Overfill, Leak Detection and Secondary Containment Equipment at UST Facilities ( PEI / RP1200- 17 ) is one example of a generally- recognized industry standard .
