Avoidance of Leakage - The system should be without leaks, maintained in a good condition by following good practices and replacing deteriorated components. The system should be installed to approved standards and any alterations to the system must also be done to approved standards and not introduce problems. Secured Against Damage - The bottles, regulators, piping must be located and secured so they cannot be damaged by items falling on or against them.

All cylinders must be stored upright and secured from movement, in a locker which is gas tight to the hull interior at least to the height of the regulators. The locker must be with a drain at the lowest point that leads overboard above the waterline. The drain should have a diameter of 19mm. The locker must not contain items that could damage the bottle or block the drain. The locker should have a fire resistance of 30mins. This is to provide a good chance to fight a fire on board without the bottles exploding too.

The pipework should be properly supported along its length at positions no more than mm apart and be located as high as practicable.
