Under the fire code, a certificate of fitness is required for LPG containers with capacity equal to or greater than how many ounces?

• A. 8.7 oz
• B. 16.4 oz
• C. 32 oz
• D. 64 oz

Answer: (B)

Fire code uses a size threshold to decide when a certificate of fitness is needed for LPG containers. The threshold is one pound of LPG capacity. That means any container at or above one pound requires a COF because it presents enough risk to warrant trained handling, leak checks, and safe storage. Containers smaller than one pound don’t require the certification. In the given options, eight point seven ounces is below the threshold, while thirty-two and sixty-four ounces are larger than the threshold (and would also require a COF), but the question is asking for the threshold itself, which is one pound.
