pressed gas containers. A filling station comprises its corre‐
sponding premises and equipment.
♦ Charging systems that require authorisation are charging sys‐
tems which are filled with compressed gases in mobile com‐
pressed gas containers for transfer to other containers.
♦ Filling stations that do not require authorisation are filling sta‐
tions in which compressed gases are filled into non-stationary
compressed gas containers for exclusive use within a compa‐
ny.
