4. 2025/0458/AT - S70E - Hazardous substances and preparations

5. Liquefied Petroleum Gas Ordinance 2025 - FGV 2025

6. The planned ordinance concerns the storage, filling, refilling and use of liquid petroleum gas (propane, butane, propene and butene as well as mixtures of these gases) in commercial production facilities, workplaces and railway premises.

7.

8. The planned FGV 2025 is intended to replace the current Liquefied Petroleum Gas Ordinance 2002 - FGV, Federal Law Gazette II No. 446/2002. It is intended to regulate the storage, filling, refilling and use of liquefied petroleum gas. Trade law, employee protection law and railway law are affected.

Where possible, the FGV 2025 is intended to streamline the system, while retaining tried-and-tested regulations. In addition, the inspection periods for electrical installations should be adapted to current regulations and flexibility should be brought about in the process as regards the necessary degree of potentially explosive atmospheres.
An increase in the small quantities and thus an easing for storage is planned. The storage of small quantities of liquefied petroleum gas together with other hazardous substances and mixtures in storage rooms should become possible.

9. The current FGV has been in force for over twenty years and contains some regulations that date back to the previous Liquid Petroleum Gas Ordinance from 1971. In the interests of the stakeholders concerned, the new Ordinance is to be tightened up and take into account the current technical conditions.
