The Standards Organisation of Nigeria, SON, has given a two-week ultimatum to owners of liquefied petroleum gas, LPG, storage tanks nationwide to commence the process of certification or have their facilities shut.
A statement from the office of SON’s Director General, Osita Aboloma in Abuja, disclosed that the organisation had observed a sharp rise in the installation of LPG storage tanks in petrol stations across the country, many of which had been unable to provide evidence to SON of certification of the vessels.
Aboloma further directed all SON state offices to intensify surveillance of all installed LPG storage tanks in their areas of coverage to ascertain those that have undergone SON certification before installation as required by the Department of Petroleum Resources, DPR regulation.
