What should be included in the archive of major hazard sources at LNG facilities?

According to Article 22 of the **Interim Provisions on the Supervision and Management of Major Hazard Sources of Hazardous Chemicals, Order No. 40 issued by the State Administration for Work Safety**, hazardous chemical enterprises shall promptly register and file records for each major hazard source that has been identified and confirmed. The file for major hazard sources shall include the following documents and materials: (1) Records of identification and classification ； (II) Table of Basic Characteristics of Major Hazard Sources ； (III) Safety Data Sheets for all chemicals involved ； (IV) Regional location map, floor plan, process flow diagram, and list of main equipment ； (V) Safety management regulations and safety operating procedures for major hazard sources ； (VI) Description of safety monitoring and control systems and measures, as well as test and inspection results ； ( VII) Emergency response plans for major hazard source accidents, review comments, drill plans, and assessment reports ； (8) Safety assessment report or safety evaluation report ； (IX) Names of the persons in charge and responsible organizations for key devices and critical areas of major hazard sources ； (10) Installation of safety warning signs at sites with major hazard sources ； (11) Other documents and materials. However, Article 2 of this regulation states that urban gas is not covered by these provisions. Could anyone provide any relevant documents as a reference?
Please read carefully and don’t get caught up in literal interpretations: the regulations are aimed at hazardous chemicals. That of you is oil and gas; it has nothing to do with it
However, according to the GB18218 standard, natural gas reserves of over 50 T are considered major hazard sources
Everything said is correct; the preparation of the necessary documents is almost complete. Go to the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau – generally, the Work Safety Supervision Bureau does not accept such applications
May I ask if LNG stations also need to report major hazard sources? Article 2 of Order No. 40 states that it does not apply to town gas. Does the station itself also need to establish a record ledger for major hazard sources?
LNG stations constitute major hazard sources; they are identified in accordance with GB18218, but it is not appropriate to classify them using Document No. 40. Therefore, their records are managed in line with the unified requirements set by the Work Safety Supervision Bureau
Excuse me, do those regulations or documents related to work safety mention major hazard sources?
May I ask how this problem can be solved now? I also have doubts in this regard
Is your buddy in the same industry? At present, the management of town gas is also rather chaotic. We consulted the local safety supervision authorities, and their response was that it’s possible to keep records for documentation purposes, or one can simply ignore it
