(a) In addition to NFPA 52 §13.3.16 and NFPA 59A §13.3.15,
LNG shall not be introduced into any ASME container unless the container
is equipped with an original nameplate or at least one of the following
nameplates permanently attached to the container.
(1) A duplicate nameplate is an additional ASME container
nameplate issued by the original manufacturer with duplicate information
as the original nameplate and clearly marked as a duplicate nameplate,
but installed in a remote location.
(2) A modification (or alteration) nameplate is a nameplate
issued and affixed by an ASME Code facility including only partial
information applicable to a modification or alteration performed on
that container.
(3) A replacement nameplate is a nameplate including
the identical information as the original nameplate and identified
as a replacement nameplate, but issued and affixed by the original
manufacturer or its successor company or companies when the original
nameplate is lost or illegible.
(b) AFS may remove a container from LNG service or
require ASME acceptance of a container at any time if AFS determines
that the nameplate, in any form defined in subsection (a) of this
section, is loose, unreadable, or detached, or if it appears to be
tampered with or damaged in any way and does not contain at a minimum
the items defined by NFPA as applicable.
