What is EEMUA 159?

EEMUA 159 is an internationally recognised engineering guideline published by the Engineering Equipment and Materials Users Association (EEMUA). It establishes best practices for the inspection, maintenance, repair, and integrity management of above-ground storage tanks throughout their operational life.

The standard provides practical guidance for assessing tank condition, identifying deterioration, planning maintenance activities, and ensuring continued safe operation. By following EEMUA 159 recommendations, asset owners can reduce the risk of structural failures, environmental incidents, product loss, and unexpected shutdowns while extending the service life of their storage tanks.
