This British Standard specifies requirements for commercial butane and commercial propane as supplied for general domestic and industrial fuel purposes. It applies to these products in cylinders and in bulk.

NOTE1 The requirements apply at the point of custody transfer. Withdrawal or loss of product from the vapour phase changes the composition of the product remaining in the liquid phase. Hence the product might then cease to meet specified requirements.

It does not cover gases for testing gas appliances.

NOTE2 For gases to test gas appliances, see BSEN437.
