This document outlines the standard for plastic jerrycans in Nigeria. It defines a jerrycan as a portable container between 4-50 liters used to transport liquids. Originally made of steel in Germany in the 1930s, they transitioned to plastic for resource conservation. Jerrycans are used to store and transport industrial and food liquids. The standard provides requirements for material properties, performance testing methods, and markings that must be included to guide manufacturers and allow users to assess quality. Requirements include limits on burning rate, brittleness temperature, vicat softening temperature, and more.
