| S. No. | Capacity of LPG Installation | Location | Minimum floor area | Other Remarks |
| 01 | Not exceeding 50 kg of LPG | Indoor on any floor | 5 m2 (approx. 54 ft²) | Ventilated at low level directly to the outside air |
| 02 | Each not exceeding 50 kg of LPG and aggregate quantity of LPG of all installations not exceeding 200 kg. | Indoor on any floor | 5 m2 per installation (approx. 54 ft² per installation) | Minimum 3 metre distance between two such installations |
| 03 | Not exceeding 100 kg of LPG | Indoor on any floor | 12 m2 (approx. 130 ft²) | Ventilated at low level directly to the outside air |
| 04 | Each not exceeding 100 kg of LPG and aggregate quantity of LPG of all installations not exceeding 200 kg. | Indoor on any floor | 12 m2 per installation (approx. 130 ft² per installation) | Minimum 3 metre distance between two such installations |
| 05 | Not exceeding 400 kg of LPG | Indoors | In an enclosed section of a building or a room reserved exclusively for this purpose | Ventilated at low level directly to the outside air |
Stationary installations above 400 kg but not exceeding 1000 kg shall be installed outdoors on ground floor level only.
If the installation is more than 1000 kg, installations in multiples of 1000 kg with manifold, safety devices, change over mechanism may be provided with minimum inter distance of 2 m from all sides. Total number of such installations shall not exceed 8 including standby installation.
A minimum distance of 3 metres shall be maintained between such installation and public place, roadways, other surroundings and any building other than the one where LPG from the installation is intended to be used.
Note: According to this standard, a minimum distance of 3 metres must be maintained between such installations, not from the manifold. Therefore, the 3 metre distance should be measured starting 1 metre away from the manifold, as depicted in the typical illustrations within the standard.
No installation shall be provided at basement or below ground level.
Cylinder containing more than 20 kg of gas shall not be located on floors above ground level.
The installation shall be protected from excessive weathering by sun, rain, etc. and from tampering by unauthorized persons. A lean-to roof with expanded metal on angle-iron framework on the sides are considered suitable for this purpose.
In any case, adequate ventilation at ground level to the outside air shall be provided.
For commercial and industrial cylinder installation for any public places like mall, buildings, industries, hotels, etc, the sum total of all stationery installations inside the building shall not exceed 400 kg of LPG in any case.
The cylinder installation shall be provided in a covered industrial shed but open from all sides for proper ventilation.
Cylinders installation shall not be located along the driveway. Under unavoidable conditions, minimum distance of 3 meter from driveway shall be maintained.
