The Association for Petroleum and Explosives Administration (APEA) is the industry-wide organisation in the UK for companies working with petroleum, to provide technical guidance, and disseminate industry codes of conduct, in relation to the possible explosive atmospheres caused by evaporating automotive fuels (a flash fire).[1]
History[edit]
It was formed in 1958, and incorporated in May 1988.[2]
Purpose[edit]
It offers training for workers in the industry, for DSEAR (Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations 2002, from the ATEX directive) and for petroleum transport and filling stations in the UK. Filling station and petrol tanker operators must comply with its technical standards - this is not optional.
Structure[edit]
It is headquartered in Essex.
