16 Tex. Admin. Code § 13.37 - Appurtenances and Equipment
(a) In addition
to NFPA 52 §5.3.1, all appurtenances and equipment placed into CNG service
shall be certified, marked, or listed by a nationally recognized laboratory
such as Underwriters Laboratory (UL), Factory Mutual (FM), CSA International,
or such other laboratories approved by AFS unless:
(1) it is specifically prohibited for use by
another section of this chapter; or
(2) there is no test specification or
procedure developed by the testing laboratory for the appurtenance or
equipment.
(b) In
addition to NFPA 52 §1.4.1, appurtenances and equipment that cannot be
listed but are not prohibited for use by the rules in this chapter shall be
acceptable for CNG service provided the appurtenances and equipment are
installed in compliance with the applicable rules in this chapter.
(c) In addition to NFPA 52 §1.4.1.2, the
licensee or operator of the appurtenances or equipment shall maintain
documentation sufficient to substantiate any claims made regarding the safety
of any valves, fittings, and equipment and shall, upon request, furnish copies
to AFS.
(d) Compliance under this
section does not ensure conformity with other state and federal regulations,
such as those of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality or its successor
agencies.
(e) Components of CNG
stationary installations which are not specifically covered by the rules in
this chapter shall not be placed into service until AFS has determined the
installation complies with the rules in this chapter. AFS may require any
change to a proposed stationary installation which the Commission may consider
necessary to ensure the CNG installation is safe for CNG service. If the
affected party disagrees with AFS' determination, the party may request a
hearing as described in §
13.15 of this title (relating to
Penalty Guidelines and Enforcement). However, the installation shall not be
placed into CNG operation until the Commission has determined the installation
complies with the rules of this chapter.
