CS 25.1185 Flammable fluids

ED Decision 2003/2/RM

(a)     No tank or reservoir that is a part of a system containing flammable fluids or gases may be in a designated fire zone unless the fluid contained, the design of the system, the materials used in the tank, the shut-off means, and all connections, lines and controls provide a degree of safety equal to that which would exist if the tank or reservoir were outside such a zone.

(b)     There must be at least 13 mm (0·5 inches) of clear airspace between each tank or reservoir and each firewall or shroud isolating a designated fire zone.

(c)      Absorbent materials close to flammable fluid system components that might leak must be covered or treated to prevent the absorption of hazardous quantities of fluids.
