[See Rules 2(c) (iii) and 6(1) (a) and (b)]
List of Hazardous Chemicals for application of rules 5 and 7 to 15.
(a) The quantities set out below relate to each installation or group of installations belonging to the same occupier where the distance between the installations is not sufficient to avoid unforeseeable circumstances and any aggravation of major accident hazard. These quantities apply in any case to each group of installations belonging to the same occupier where the distance between the installations is less than 500 metres.
(b) For the purpose of determining the quantity of a hazardous chemical in an industrial installation, account shall also be taken of any hazardous chemical which is, -
(i) in that part of any pipeline under the control of the occupier having control of the site; and which is within 500 metres of that site and connected to it;
(ii) at any other site under the control of the same occupier any part of the boundary of which, is within 500 metres of the said site; and
(iii) in any vehicle, vessel, aircraft or hovercraft under the control of the same occupier, which is used for storage purpose either at the site or within 500 metres of it,but no account shall be taken of any hazardous chemical which is in a vehicle, vessel, aircraft of hovercraft used for transporting it.
