Purpose


Pursuant to s. 527.06(2), F.S., the department is required to adopt rules setting forth the "minimum general standards" that will apply to LP gas activities carried out under Chapter 527, F.S. Section 527.06(3), F.S., deems the published standards of the National Fire Protection Association ("NFPA") to be "in substantial conformity" with the safety standards required to be adopted by s. 527.06(2), F.S. Accordingly, these NFPA standards (and the handbooks that assist in interpreting and applying the standards) are adopted in Rule 5F-11.002, F.A.C. Rule 5F-11.002, F.A.C., currently adopts the 2006 editions of the National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54 and accompanying handbook, both of which were revised in 2012. Rule 5F-11.002, F.A.C., should be amended to adopt these current editions.
