May I ask: What are the international standards for oil and gas storage, transportation, or tank farm design? What are its fire safety regulations then?

Dear teachers at Home and School: 1. What are the design standards for oil and gas storage, transportation, or oil depots abroad? Which **standard is it? 2. What are the fire protection regulations for oil storage tanks abroad?
The design and fire protection standards for oil and gas storage and transportation, or oil tanks, abroad usually refer to the standards set by the American Petroleum Institute (API), particularly API 650 and API 2000. API 650 deals with the design and construction of storage tanks, while API 2000 covers the requirements regarding ventilation, fire protection, and safety of such tanks. In addition, there is also NFPA Standard 30 from the NFPA (National Fire Protection Association), which specifically sets guidelines for the storage, handling, and use of flammable and combustible liquids. In Europe, EN standards may be referred to; for example, EN 14015 specifies the design and manufacturing rules for fixed steel storage tanks. Different ** and regions may have additional regulations or slightly different application details. .
Thank you very much for your reply! I just found a standard online: API 2610; I haven’t read its contents yet. I’ll give my feedback after reading the content. Thank you once again for your selfless sharing!
