This document specifies the general design and testing requirements for all components in automotive Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) propulsion systems, which have a maximum allowable pressure equal to or greater than 20 kPa. This document also specifies the requirements for the Electric Control Unit (ECU), which is not subjected to pressure, and the gas-tight housing which has a maximum allowable pressure below 20 kPa. This document does not apply to containers.
