With the introduction of new fuels, it is necessary for petrol station operators to offer fuels made from renewable raw materials as well as gaseous fuels in addition to petroleum-based fuels. This results in new requirements for operators, which must be taken into account when planning, constructing and inspecting petrol stations. Petrol stations as facilities for the dispensing of fuels are subject to numerous legal regulations in the following areas: Soil and water protection, immission control, protection of employees and third parties. For the first time, this manual summarises all regulations relating to the dispensing of fuels for petrol stations, including the associated technical regulations, in a standardised publication.
