Tank installations are inspected to ensure tanks are properly installed to protect homeowners and businesses from unforeseen hazards to life and property, and to ensure the requirements of NFPA 58 (Liquefied Petroleum Gas Code), 2017 Edition, NFPA 54 (National Fuel Gas Code), 2009 Edition, and the Oregon Fire Code (OFC), 2019 Edition are met.
If a deficiency is identified during the inspection, a Notice and Order of Correction is issued to the company that installed the tank, providing an opportunity for the correction of the deficiency.
Once the company notifies the inspector the deficiency is corrected, the tank may be inspected to ensure compliance. Questions regarding the installation of a tank may be directed to the company who installed the tank or to the Office of State Fire Marshal at 503-934-8278.
