sec.104 Labelling requirements for LPG gas fuel systems in vehicles
This section applies— in relation to a gas fuel system for a vehicle that uses LPG; and despite the requirements under AS/NZS 1425 ‘LP gas fuel systems for vehicle engines’ (the relevant standard ). See schedule 2 , part 1 . The person who installs the gas fuel system in the vehicle must comply with this section. Maximum penalty—10 penalty units. A label used to identify a vehicle that uses LPG (an identifying label ) required under the relevant standard may be— metallic; or adhesive and nonmetallic. An identifying label is required for each place where gas cylinders are installed in the vehicle. If 2 LPG tanks were installed in the boot of a vehicle, only 1 label would be required for the boot. If 1 LPG tank was installed on the tray of a truck and another under the body, both places would be required to be labelled. If the relevant standard requires a label to be fixed to the number plate of a vehicle but the label does not fit on the number plate, the label may be fixed in a place adjacent to the number plate where it is readily visible.
