Under which condition may the use of above-ground containers be authorized?

The use of above-ground containers for propane is authorized with prior approval from the jurisdiction. This is crucial because the jurisdiction often refers to local authorities or regulatory agencies that enforce safety standards and regulations regarding the storage and handling of propane. Each area may have different codes and compliance requirements that ensure safety and minimize risk associated with propane storage, particularly in above-ground containers which could pose a greater risk if not properly regulated.

Authorization from the jurisdiction helps to ensure that any installation meets specific safety codes, that the location is suitable for the use of such containers, and that the container is installed and maintained according to best practices. This approach protects the community and environment by preventing improper installations that could lead to accidents or violations of safety regulations.
