Petroleum Vapour Emissions

Operators of petrol stations are legally required to obtain a Certificate of Testing from their local authority relating to vapour emissions from their premises, in accordance with the Petroleum Vapour Emissions Regulations 1997.

Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council issues Certificates of Testing based on the recommendation of Dublin Fire Brigade, who are the designated Fire Authority for Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown. Certificates are valid for a maximum period of 3 years.

In order to apply for a certificate, operators of petrol stations are required to engage an approved assessor to carry out relevant tests and submit a report to Dublin Fire Brigade, along with the prescribed application fee of €63.50.

All applications and queries regarding Certificates of Testing should be directed to:
